Using lots of cheap lifegain effects to maximise the utility of Speaker of the Heavens and Griffin Aerie. Lifegain as a strategy is bad because losing on the board means your life total doesnt' stop you from losing. With these new M21 cards though gaining life gives you an enormous tempo advantage with early, undercosted and repeatable flying angel/griffon tokens. This makes cards like Revitalize and Light of Hope very playable.

Rally of Wings untaps Speaker of the Heavens so it can make an additional Angel whilst buffing the Angels/Griffons and other flying creatures with lifelink. Alseid of Life's Bounty and Fight as One are for keeping Speaker of the Heavens alive. Speaker is by far the best card in this deck, creating 4/4 flying angels every turn for an initial investment of one mana.
