Not your standard deck, but something a bit fun and unusual. It's not the most stable strategy (frustratingly unstable at times), but it's good for a laugh when it goes off.

tactic:Get as many tokens on the b/f as you can, then Mass Polymorph into angels. Use Elgaud Shieldmate to hexproof Avacyn, Angel of Hope; coupled with Empyrial Archangel makes you almost invincible. The only thing that will save your opponent is mill (Iona, Shield of Emeria can take care of any potential threat from cards like Final Judgment and Black Sun's Zenith).

Lingering Souls, Midnight Haunting, Raise the Alarm, and Timely Reinforcements for token generation.

Path to Exile for removal if desperately needed, but mainly for mana ramp (& fixing) -- block with a token, then exile token for a land before damage is dealt.

Oblivion Ring for removal.

The Angels (& co.): You need every one out (except Iona). There are 7 creatures, so best to mass polymorph with at least 7 tokens on the b/f (unless you know there are less creatures in the library)

sideboard:

Emrakul, the Aeons Torn: vs mill decks; probably replace an Ethereal Usher.

AEther Mutation : vs decks with expensive creatures; probably replace Timely Reinforcements, as the opposition should have a lower curve.

Revoke Existence : vs decks with things like Ghostly Prison and Oblivion Ring, and artifact decks, and any other decks that rely on enchantments or artifacts.

Brave the Elements: vs decks with lots of sweepers
