Giada, Font of Hope

📖 How to build Giada, Font of Hope

Giada, Font of Hope is a two-mana flying, vigilance Angel whose main job is to make your later Angels bigger. Each other Angel you control enters with an extra +1/+1 counter for each Angel you already control, so the more Angels you have, the more each new one arrives with. Her tap ability adds {W} that can only be spent on Angel spells, which helps you deploy more Angels quickly. The game plan is to build a wide board of Angels that grow as they enter, while Giada attacks in the air and still stays back to block.

Build around her with a dense package of Angels, since her ability rewards the number of Angels rather than any single one. Lean into the +1/+1 counter theme with payoffs and ways to add more counters. Enlightened Tutor can help find a key Angel, while Swords to Plowshares and Path to Exile can handle threats while your board develops.

Watch out for Giada herself. Her counter bonus only works while she is on the battlefield, so removing her shuts off the engine. Her mana only pays for Angel spells, so other cards need different mana sources. Board wipes such as Austere Command and Farewell can punish an Angel-heavy board, so consider how you will protect key pieces or rebuild afterward.
