Stream lined mono white deck with dual lands to activate Shalai, Voice of Plenty . Deck focuses around a two tier tribal format starting with knights on the lower end and finishing off with angels on the upper end. The deck is designed with two general synergies through History of Benalia on the lower end and Lyra Dawnbringer on the upper end.

LOOKING FOR SIDE BOARD SUGGESTIONS!

Turn 1 + 2

Dauntless Bodyguard : If you have this in hand turn 1 put it down otherwise save as a combo piece to (see Combos section) if you have angels in hand. Great card as it can trade up if necessary.
"Through me I may sacrifice so my brethren may press on."

Knight of Grace : Very efficient stats on this card. The first strike helps to contest trades effectively. Can generally start a game with either this or Dauntless Bodyguard on the field by turn 2.
"Through me I may contest the battlefield to pave way for victory."

Seal Away : This is highly efficiently creature removal, having flash makes is especially flexible. Not too much enchantment hate so creatures generally remain removed for the entire game.
"Through this enchantment may no creature be too great to quell."

Turn 3 + 4

Benalish Marshal : First buff card (for both tribal parts). Efficient stat again with the added bonus of giving everything +1/+1 is great.
"Through me I may strengthen those around me."

History of Benalia : The reason for running knights in this deck is to synergize off of the knight creature type. Amazing card to run a full play set of.
"Though this enchantment our brethren's number will flourish."

Resplendent Angel : Efficiently stated flier that can get out of control very quickly once the life link mechanic comes online.
"Though me I will bring forth children to our skies."

Shalai, Voice of Plenty : Great for late game stat boosts and keeping away pesky mono red burn decks.
"Though me may no harm come to my brethren."

Conclave Tribunal : This is the top end lock down card. Anything that is giving you trouble (I'm looking at you planeswalkers), this is your answer.
"Through the conclave may no threat be out of our reach."

Turn 5 +

Lyra Dawnbringer : Top end of the angel tribal tier. Great for triggering Resplendent Angel passive. Can be considered a soft win condition card.
"Though me I shall strengthen my children and contest the skies."

Shalai, Voice of Plenty : Start to pump up your board with the give each creature +1 / +1.

Resplendent Angel : Start creating 4/4 Serra Angel by activating the ability.

Side Board

Unbreakable Formation : Great for control heavy match ups where you have to be the aggressor. Pretty much speaks for itself, wonderful card.
"Through our faith may our mind and body become invincible."

Ixalan's Binding : When the deck needs to become a control deck this card will lock down the other side very proficiently.
"Through our binding may no horrors ever return to our lands."

Win Conditions

History of Benalia : Knights win condition, gives everything +2 / + 1 that's a knight can quite efficiently win the game.

Resplendent Angel : Fill the skies with Serra Angel tokens every turn. Can overpower locked up boards.

Combos

Dauntless Bodyguard + Shalai, Voice of Plenty : This card combo keeps everything on the board for atleast one turn and can generally guarantee a board lock down (aside from bounce and exile effects).

Benalish Marshal + History of Benalia : Once activates, dropping Benalish Marshal boosts the swing turn stats to +3 / + 2.

Resplendent Angel + Lyra Dawnbringer : + 1 Serra Angel per turn, woooooo!
