Hello everybody. This deck used to be a flavour deck full of angels and angel-themed cards. I decided to turn it into a competitive Standard deck after wanting to get into the tournament scene. After making it into the Top-8 for the recent Games Day at my LGS I asked many of the players there how I could improve my dekc for future events.

How does it work?

The deck by using smaller creatures such as Avacyn's Pilgrim and Somberwald Sage to provide ramp for the larger creatures in the deck such as Wolfir Silverheart and Angelic Skirmisher. The deck features Soulbond creatures but it can work without it with cards such as Entreat the Angels and Descendants' Path to put creatures on the field. To get to that stage Fog and Selesnya Charm are used to stall faster aggro decks and Terminus as a last resort board wipe.

How can it be improved?

Seeing it's recent success and the feedback given by the players at the event I want to broaden what cards I can consider putting into the deck. Mutavault was suggested to trigger Descendants' Path, they also suggested more copies of Terminus and more consistent mana ramp. I am aware that I need to get more shock and check lands as well.

What I'd love from anyone here is cards to replace, consider and/or (if you really want to, I'd love to see it) rebuild the entire deck to a more optimized state.
