You can have zero Thunes if you want too. I didn't play her and had a lot of success. If I would play her, I'd only play one copy.

Yes, I know, that's why I said "5/5 A TURN".

Consider that you have a Soul Warden on board and you play Sunmare/Archangel.

With Sunmare, you get 5/5 at end step. With Archangel, you pump your whole army (if you have one).
If Sunmare gets countered, you get nothing. If Archangel gets countered, you get nothing.
If Sunmare gets Terminated, you get nothing. If Archangel gets Terminated, you get nothing (assuming they Terminate with the trigger on the stack, which a lot of people don't know).
With Sunmare: next turn, your opponent plays a creature, you gain life, and you get another 5/5. With Archangel: next turn, your opponent plays a creature, you gain life, and you pump your whole team.

For me, I think Archangel is the better card for that 5 cmc slot.

Oh, and good to speak to you again Mnelson! It's been a while!

Archangel is where you want to be. She immediately has an impact if she sticks, potentially making all your creatures greater than 5/5. Which is better than a 5/5 creature a turn.

Thanks Marc !

Although, I'm not sure about taking out Bolt, yesterday, against UW control, I won 3 games because of Bolt and won 2 games because of early Delver.

Also, is Crumble working for you? I'm currently testing the card right now.

What do you guys side in and side out against UW Control? I played against two UW control tonight at TNM. I realized that when I board out Delver, I tend to lose. Delver seems very strong in this matchup. But that leaves me not much space to bring in Negate/Countersquall and Dispel to counter the planeswalkers and to win the counter wars.

I think the card is better for Death's Shadow decks unfortunately.

there's nothing unfortunate about this card. we can use it, DS can also use it. its unfortunate for everyone else who can't.

For sure, I'm just saying DS decks has better targets like DS or Goyf. Claim-ing Snapcaster will indeed be super fun.

I think the card is better for Death's Shadow decks unfortunately.

I don't think Ayli is that great in Soul Sisters, but I do agree that Anguish of Unmaking is worth testing!

Infect is dead, so we don't need to worry about them.

@Bobo: Thanks for putting an effort on writing a report! You know I've always appreciate the work you do. From the looks of things, Soul Sisters looks great in this meta. All the decks you faced were winnable except Lantern, Mill and Elves. Top 8 are all winnable match ups too.

Been playing with this manabase for a while. Do you guys think I should switch a Watery Grave for a Darkslick Shores? I don't own Darkslick, that's why I played Watery to save a couple of bucks haha. Does it make a big difference?

"Grixis Delver" 12th place at SCG Modern Open: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=114134

What do you guys board in and out against Grixis/Jund Shadow decks? I don't have any trouble against those decks, but I do find that I have trouble sideboarding against it.

Is Ceremonious Rejection that good? Because they do play a copy of Cavern of Souls. We also already have Mana Leak as counterspell which can be questionnable in the matchup because of Cavern.
