This is the Angel Tribal deck I always wanted to make when I started playing Commander. Maelstrom Archangel may not be a Legendary card, but her text is simply too perfect to pass up as the premier five color angel.

The plan is simple. Get Maelstrom Archangel out ASAP, whack some poor scrub with her, then drop either big angels or permanents that get you more angels. Make a massive board of angels. Play "Flight of the Valkyries". Overwhelm the non-believers. Win.

Maelstrom Archangel is the nastiest part of this deck. Give her Double Strike as soon as possible to play cards for free two at a time.

Some notes on card choices:

1. Jarad's Orders - Use this to get your favorite high cost angel into the graveyard, and Karmic Guide into your hand. You just tutored for your favorite angel and it now costs 3WW. Woot! Use this to snag Adarkar Valkyrie or Emeria Shepherd to bring back Karmic Guide for more Graveyard Recursion.

2. Concerted Effort - Doesn't see a lot of play, but it's a good one. Get this and Iridescent Angel or Pristine Archangel out at the same time to make your board nigh untouchable.

3. Odric, Lunarch Marshal - Same as above, but works with other keywords. Only non-angel creature in the deck. My very first Magic deck was Mono-White Odric, which runs a lot of angels of course! I had to include him in this deck, as he's one of my favorite cards. He makes my little Timmy heart happy.

There are still lots of cards I'd like to swap into this deck. I still need to get my mitts on Big Mama Avacyn, and I'd like to bring in some other big angels I haven't been able to find. Pristine Archangel, Platinum Angel, etc.

Thanks for reading.
