This is just an idea that I'm kicking around. Angels are pretty powerful, and I think there's something here to play with now that Foundations has dumped several powerful angels into the format. However, this needs tinkering. I think going the life gain route would be better, and that will require tinkering with the creatures.

When Resplendent Angel and Lyra Dawnbringer were Standard legal the first time they were printed, I loved playing my angels deck. Now that they are Standard legal again, I think we have excellent supporting cards to get us to a fairly competitive and fun deck. Youthful Valkyrie and Giada, Font of Hope are superb cards, and we have okay cards at the 3 mana position (with Resplendent Angel being by far the best 3 drop we have). Exemplar of Light is interesting and should help us get some card draw, and we top the curve at Lyra Dawnbringer. Her anthem effect and giving all of our creatures lifelink can be absolutely backbreaking.

The removal is fine, but I think it could be better. This will require some testing and your suggestions are welcome. Dawn's Truce might be a good addition?

Anyway, here's the first look/iteration. As I get a chance to play around with it I'll update it. For now, there's not much description here as it's presently more of a concept than a complete deck.
