Infinideity Cradle Standard: The Tragedy of Angel Feathers

Angel Feathers were seen to have gotten very weak support, but after testing is this really the case? Kai discusses the current state of Angel Feathers and what counterblasting is like in the current Standard format.

excellent the clan i was waiting to see vid on, people kept looking at the getting free countercharge kind of thing that they over looked the pressure angels can produce and that the face up damage helps the angels also and just underestimated them
but id agree end of the koishin arc set did boost all those clans a lot and the shinemon sets right now seem to of mostly started over again but not as low as new set style but with good amount of competitiveness but not as much as koihins end set, hopes are next support will bring angels on par or very close to v-bt06 top clans

just play budget murakumo and don't play promo and be top but not as top as promo gang players

My take on it is:

4 Ergodiel
4 Metatron
2 Simapesiel

4 Freezing Granter
4 Armaiti
3 Hygenist Angel

4 Healthful Intendant
4 Dispense Angel
4 Hessediel

6 crit
6 draw

Imo Hessediel is straight up better than Arhabaki because you need all the cards in your hand and her costing a discard hurts more than it helps because even though you get to cycle your deck you’re still not activating the trigger you might see and with Hessediel you’re breaking even in terms of resources.

Dispense in the back line pressures your opponent even more because if they let anything hit your other columns immediately need another card to guard with. I can see you playing scalpel though since the continuous power past 3 damage is pretty good but I just like the pressure Dispense applies.

Simapesiel over Hospital imo because I generally keep my soul for Armaiti and Freezing, and Simapesiel asks for less in terms of resources (power gain is conditional but free while hospital asks for 2 G3 soul blasts and all of your remaining face up damage for more power and a crit) but I understand whichever you pick as those two are preference imo.

Darth plagueis the wise used Angel feather confirmed

I agree with you mate!! But ergodiel shafts shadow paladin if they're playing Mordred/b.dark

It feels so good

Angels in premium are suffering because of this stupid identity crisis. GO back to rescue

[RockOrso]

Now bushiroad has assasinated Angel Feather in standard, are now just the primed boy toy of Gyze, also heard of post bt-07 12 crit angel feather?

This new AF feels incomplete, like Ezel was before Raven. Likely why AF already has new support confirmed.

So two things
First, I see a lot of people running Arahabaki over Hesediel, but I feel like Hesediel is better. Can I ask what I'm missing?
Second, why do people hate long games so much? I love games that go on for a long time. I play the game because I want to play, not because I want to ride to grade 3 and win on turn 5. Back when angels first came out I built an angel stall deck in premium that was meant to take every match into time and win not by getting my opponent to 6 damage, but by me having less damage when time is called. I had a great time, and after every round my opponent told me it was the most fun game they had played.
I hope the next wave of support gives them more sustainability. That's the kind of angels I love
