when i first put this together i had way to high of a curve so i added humans to lower it it helped but was wanting all angel but i don't think its going to happen but all comments are welcome really wanting to make it faster hope lots of ppl comment not many in my area play so dying to hear all your ideas and thoughts about it but here is the deck list

HUMANS: these are the best humans i have can get more of any if needed or change out for better creatures

1x precinct captain
1x grand abolisher
2x elite inquisitor
4x white knight

ANGELS: i have all kinds of angels most are way to costly for the curve 

2x serra avenger
x3 emancipation angel  3 mana is good but dont like the side effect of returning a permanent but it could be useful but most of the time it just slows down the deck
1x linvala, keeper of silence
4x angel of jubilation
2x serra angel
2x avacyn, angel of hope
1x akroma, angel of wrath

OTHER SPELLS: not much protection mainly sticking to the angel theme might need to change to protect more not sure yet

3x entreat the angels
2x defy death
4x divine deflection
2x luminarch ascension
2x moonsilver spear

lands
4x seraph sanctuary this is a good card free life for nothing and doesnt slow down the deck much at all
20x plains

if you realy want to go all angels it can be done. what you need is a lot of spells like journey to nowhere , path to exile , and pacifism so you can handle early rushes long enough to play the angels.

the emancipation angel really wants something with an enter the field ability like cathedral sanctifier or village bell-ringer to really shine. but even if you don't add that simply play her in your second main phase. that way you don't loose an attacker to play your next critter.

Take advantage of Avacyn and carry a Wrath of God or 2, or any card of the mass sweep effect.

The spot taken by Divine Deflection may be better off with something like a Holy Day . The ability to knock off a creature or do some damage to the face is nice, but with your need to survive early while building mana to start the angel onslaught, a card like Holy Day can go a long way. Same for Luminarch Ascension. It's gonna take a while to get those counters going, cause you're gonna be taking damage. I'd slip in  Dawn Charm . Maybe 4 Dawn Charm and 2 Holy Days.

Mana rocks, like Sol Ring , Mind Stone , Marble Diamond , or Pearl Medallion could help speed the bigger angels into play, as could outright cheating them, via Quicksilver Amulet or Cryptic Gate . Belbe's Portal and Urza's Incubator make the angels cheaper to cast.

Your deck could use more draw than the standard once per turn.  Sadly, white's best methods are cantrips or high-cmc artifacts.  Still, Repel the Darkness is useful alongside armies, and Wall of Omen is always a happy draw for me.

Unless your main opposition is a Black deck, what about trading the White Knight s for Azorius Arrester s?  Not only can you then stall and open your opponent for attacks, but the Arrester plays nice with your Emancipation Angel s.

Maybe an Ally subtheme could work for your early plays, leaning on playsets of Hada Freeblade , Kazandu Blademaster , and maybe a few Kabira Evangel s.  All of the Allies play very well with Emancipation Angel, to boot!

Cheers!

If The powers of your angels arent all that you want them to be, Akroma's Memorial is a good one to havein the deck. I agree on the sol ring choice, but what about Doubling Cube ?   

(just though they might help) Happy playing

Hey, he used a period... to prevent having to spell out "emancipation."

Ever feel like people on these forums can't possibly understand how wrong they are? Feeling trolled? Don't get mad. Report Post.
