  • Have you considered Angel of Serenity and Admonition Angel ? They're both pretty strong in that they act as removal and giant beaters. Twilight Shepherd is pretty awesome in that it prevents your team from getting blown out by a board wipe.
  • If you can add in a couple of ways to make Sigarda indestructible, she'll be unstoppable; Sigarda is one of the most feared generals in EDH because once she's suited up with Darksteel Plate , she's almost impossible to get rid of. (Except if you play Final Judgement or Terminus.) Spirit Mantle can also help you push through to hit somebody for 21 general damage.
  • I personally wouldn't run Angel's Mercy or Scroll of Avacyn just because cards that only grant you life in EDH aren't too powerful. Gaining 5 or 7 life in a format where you start at 40 isn't putting you that far ahead.
  • Darksteel Mutation , Condemn and Oblation are all great ways to remove problematic generals from the game.
  • Elvish Mystic isn't quite an ideal mana rock when you have access to other, less fragile spells. A 1/1 is going to die to a board wipe, whereas lands and artifacts are much harder to deal with. (Harrow , Sol Ring , Selesnya Signet , Cultivate , etc.)
  • Angelic Armaments seems a bit redundant; there are only 4 non-angel creatures in the deck. Most of the time, you'll only be giving the equipped creature +2/+2, which is a relatively small effect.
  • Return to Dust , Beast Within , and Krosan Grip offer some of the best artifact/enchantment removal in the format. (Granted, Beast Within doesn't really fit the theme, but destroying any permanent at instant speed can come in handy.)

    Silverblade Paladin seems fitting.

    how do you feel about Luminarch Ascension? Big fan myself. Serra Ascendant is also super-strong, and named after the Planeswalker that was big into angels, right? Finally, maybe a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx because of how mana intensive your white spells are. Great setup though, +1 from me.

    Privileged Position is the wins as well, I like the deck a lot. I also play a karametra deck but mine if most pod themed.

    +1 for the Nightvale reference.

    Consider Alpha Status to make one of your already hard to block creatures even bigger?

    Why no Captain Sisay? If not as general then at least in the deck? I mean, you can tutor even some lands with it, not just creatures.

    Mirari's Wake and Aura Shards are great to run in G/W commander. They'll give you lots of value since you run so many creatures. Check out my Sigarda voltron deck, it may give you some other ideas for cards that I can't think of right now - I can be your angel, baby!

    @ TheSilverBlade

    Unfortunately with the new EDH rulings, players have the option of putting their generals in the command zone any time it is removed from the battlefield. Great input though.

    All your high value creatures on the board, and no Privileged Position or Asceticism?

    Between a Sigarda, Host of Herons, Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and Privileged Position, you've made your creatures damn near untouchable short of a mass exile effect.

    I'm actually working on trying to buy Privileged Position, so good suggestion!

    Love the deck! Angels are my favourite creatures! You should definitely add the two on your sideboard and Reya Dawnbringer I run all three in my tribal angel deck.

    I ran Reya for a while, but she just runs my mana curb into the ground, and she doesn't stick around most of the time. And in my meta there are a lot of Mono colored decks, and I am pretty sure things would get physical if I completely locked ONE player out of the game. Especially since I would almost always choose either black or blue spells. :p

    SuffocatingUnderWordsofSorrow says... #21

    True enough about Reya and I always feel bad if I'm able to get Iona out and my friend is playing his mono black deck. I always try to pick a colour that everyone shares but if there isn't one than I lean towards blue and black as well. :p
