Description

Mono White Angels because Kaalia, Zenith Seekerimage is for scrubs :) (what green I dont see any green)

The plan is super simple, jam everyones favourite flying ladies and beatdown in the air.

The Bishop of Wingsimage and the Soul Wardenimage act as early game plays and the nut draw of warden into bishop into Resplendent Angelimage gives you an extra 9 life and 7/7 worth of flying stats on turn 3, they also serves to keep your life total high enough the Speaker of the Heavensimage can reliably pump out angel tokens.

Shalai, Voice of Plentyimage does a reasonable job of protecting your board from targeted removal and the pump ability can be useful for forcing through that last bit of damage in longer games, she is the main reason we have access to green mana.

Linvala, Keeper of Silenceimage and Containment Priestimage are meta calls to hedge against various decks. The Priest hedges out goblins looking to slam Muxus, Goblin Grandeeimage, it shuts down Transmogrifyimage effects and it counters all of those pesky Collected Companyimage decks running around and finally it turns the Flicker of Fateimage in the sideboard into hard creature removal at instant speed.

Linvala likewise shuts down goblins turning off Skirk Prospectorimage, (some of...) Conspicuous Snoopimage, Krenko, Mob Bossimage and preventing the cycling ability of Gempalm Incineratorimage. She also messes with any deck running mana dorks, she laughs in the face of Alseid of Life's Bountyimage or Selfless Saviorimage and she shuts down a number of sac outlets be it Woe Striderimage or Priest of Forgotten Godsimage. she hits Scavenging Oozeimage, she hits Grim Lavamancerimage, I could go on but I'll just say shes just good.

Now we get to Lyra Dawnbringerimage what do I need to say about Lyra, shes a lord effect, she gives angles lifelink turning Resplendent Angel into an army in a can and with first strike she does a solid Baneslayer Angelimage impersination. The last of our angels is Angel of Vitalityimage who exists mainly as a curve filler but she incidentally helps our lifegain plan and is quite often a 4/4 flyer for 3 which isn't bad if you ask me.

Finally we have Scroll of Avacynimage, not much to say here, card draw in white and it often gains the 5 life, for full results pop it on your opponents turn to make an extra angel with Resplendent. 

 

As far as the Sideboard is concerned Settle the Wreckageimage is essentially a one sided board wipe just be careful about who you ramp with it, goblins love the deck thinning and the extra mana for example.

Heroic Interventionimage is self explanitory, think your going to get wrathed? bring it in.

Rest in Peaceimage is one of the strongets graveyard hate pieces available in the format I'd put it above Grafdigger's Cageimage with the introduction of cards like God-Pharaoh's Giftimage and The Scarab Godimage into the format, esspecially since we have containment priests to act as anti muxus shenanigans.

Wiltimage acts as a catch all against artifacts and enchantments be it Embercleaveimage or any number of auras in the bogles decks (just removing Arcane Flightimage can sometimes be enough.)

Flicker of Fateimage is a reasonable tempo card at instant speed, it can devestate aura strategies and as mentiond with the priests it becomes removal. it's mainly here because i like to blink things.... (give me Flickerwispimage Damnit)

Platinum Angelimage is there mainly because of flavour (and i like it) but it can be usefull in a surprising number of matchups if you manage to draw it.
