This deck looks to put out some impactful creatures like nullhide ferox, or shalai, voice of plenty by turn 2 using the arbor elf, utopia sprawl ramp package. Turn 3 you can cast anything in your deck so sigarda, or lyra, - Carnage Tyrant out of the sideboard can come down turn 3 as well. Lyra pumps all our angels, and gives them lifelink - plus she gives everything hexproof insulating us from removal and targeted discard spells/effects. Nullhide ferox is just a big dumb hexproof 6/6 that can come down on 2 and is hard to deal with right away. As an added bonus he is great against discard strategies (as he comes directly into play if you are made to discard him). Sigarda is just the big flying hexproof Angel that is hard to deal with. Knight of Autumn is just a flexible all around creature that can just beat down, or gain some life, or destroy annoying artifacts/enchantments. Filling out the deck are modern all stars lingering souls to help grind out longer games, plenty of removal in path to exile, and assassin's trophy, and some copies of Noble hierarch. The main decked ratchet bombs are really here mainly because chalice on 1 is hard for our deck to beat, but is also really good against tokens and 0 casting cost artifacts (which are plentiful in modern). The 1 of Sword of Vengeance just helps close the game if we have a token flyer or 1/1 creature on a clear board. It also can come down on turn 3 equipped onto a shalai or knight of autumn.

Sideboard is a work in progress but has some tools for modern matchups: Extra removal/sweepers for creature matchups Fatal Push, Settle the Wreckage Pithing needles for activated abilities Damping sphere for tron, storm scavenging ooze for extra life gain/grave hate Relics for Graveyard Hate Carnage Tyrant for blue control Assassin's Trophy for anything
