Description of deck by its author (quoted):
All of the Avatars are great fun, but somehow Avatar of Hope is most
often left alone. This avoidance is understandable. After all, although
few people would scoff at a 4/9 flier for WW, it possesses by far the
most dangerous and difficult-to-create Avatar "condition." In fact, the
ways you can lose with 3 or fewer life, even with a 4/7 flier on the
table, are too numerous to mention.
Worship is the constant companion of Avatar of Hope because it makes
using the Avatar a little less scary. But white just doesn't have many
good ways to lose life on purpose. Phyrexian Processor is always a fun
little trick for a monowhite deck, but otherwise the presence of Worship
has never been enough for even the kooky among us to try an Avatar of
Hope deck.
Meanwhile, Soulgorger Orgg gets avoided like the plague because it puts
you dangerously close to death. I can't help but wonder if Avatar of
Hope might have found a second friend in the hapless Orgg. Oh, sure, a
deck like the one below has a million ways to accidentally kill you, but
that one time you stomp your opponent with your beefy flier and her
trampling buddy will be worth the pain.
And, yes, I know that no alternative costs appear in the deck. Three out
of four ain't bad, though.
