So I'm sort of waiting on the Baneslayer Angel reprint in M13, and I've been fantasizing about a deck that makes baneslayer for me. Serra Angel and Seraph of Dawn both have good starts that i can pour resources into. There's an Aegis Angel for the late drop laughs, and it wins games by itself. Same reason for Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and our favorite pacifist Stonehorn Dignitary is there to secure me a Venser, the Sojourner Ult. Instants and sorceries are placed for early game disruption, and their control aspects. Also sideboarded for any specific threat, but the sideboard could use some editing as to the specific metas at FNM. I handpicked the instants and sorceries to keep me safe for the land drops turn 5 for my hopefully guaranteed flyer that will win the game. Runechanter's Pike makes me a baneslayer either with vigilance, or lifelink depending on my angel of choice. I included an instant that pumps for lifelink given the gamechanging nature it has against aggro/stomp decks. Norn and Day of Judgment are my answers for the token generators in the meta, and my sideboard tackles individual threats through combo/aggro. Towsfolk and Devotion help delay a stonehorn combo, or my win condition, and generate blockers as well.

Suggestions are appreciated as anything helps the consideration involved in making a deck dedicated to allowing 4x Foiled Serra Angels to become their mythic rare cousin Baneslayer Angel. Without the protection unfortunately.
