Ignoring the sideboard, this deck runs for about $80 through TCG.

The plan is to overwhelm with a legion of humans while keeping the enemy board under control.

Avacyn's Pilgrim offers some ramp into the larger creatures.

Champion of the Parish and Thalia's Lieutenant make every human count.

Fiend Hunter offers removal for creatures too scary to contend with.

Dromoka's Command , Sundering Growth , Silence , and Dawn Charm can shut down other threats, especially on an Isochron Scepter .

Gather the Townsfolk increases the human count.

Eternal Witness can bring back a slain angel or anything else you need.

Mentor of the Meek is the draw engine.

Heron's Grace Champion can be a blowout or a recovery mechanic.

Sigarda, Heron's Grace keeps you and your board alive for the win.
