Angel Stax

Angel Stax is an old Legacy deck that doesn't see much play anymore. Often it has evolved with Armageddon Stax into White Stax, a strong combination of the two.
The old Angel Stax used to run cards like <c>Exalted Angel</c>, <c>Wrath of God</c> and <c>Smokestack</c>. The idea of the deck was to hold back your opponent using cards like <c>Tangle Wire</c>, finally locking with Smokestack: your opponent has to sacrifice a permanent every turn, while you use <c>Crucible of Worlds</c> to recur your land.
The more potent White Stax usually contains the following cards:
*The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
*Magus of the Tabernacle
*Armageddon
*Ravages of War
*Ghostly Prison
*Moat
*Trinisphere
*Chalice of the Void
*Smokestack
*Exalted Angel
*Flagstones of Trokair
*Crucible of Worlds
This is a representative stax deck as of March 2009
