This is a fun little deck I made based on one of my first magic decks I made as a little nub.

The concept is simple really, destroy everything. As many times of possible. For nice flavor with the field wipes, I filled the deck with angels making it basically an angel tribal.

Obviously the deck is primarily casual, but I honestly I think it's super fun. The deck includes quite a bit of return to hand, so you can save key permanents from destruction or cast Bruna again. One trick with the deck is to not play Bruna until you need to. Her effect going unused is practically the worst thing you can do.

Quick discussion of the possible generals for the deck. Logically I could imagine 3 choices:

Avacyn, Angel of Hope: Fits with field wipes extremely well, keeping all your permanents safe. She's also extremely powerful and can beat people down if unchecked. However, running her a your general makes you a huge target throughout the game whether she's on the field or not. And because of her high mana cost, it may take a while for you to play her and reap the benefits. By then you may be dead, or someone may have saved a solution for her.

Reya Dawnbringer: An interesting pick for sure. Creature recursion everyturn is nothing to scoff at, especially in a deck that prides itself in destroying everything. One of the issues is that she needs to survive to get the effect, which may never happen. Also, 9 mana is insane for a general.

Bruna, the Fading Light:Honestly, I really like Bruna. She's cheapest of logical generals. Recursion on cast is actually really nice, because it happens immediately. So if she dies right after played you can't be too upset, she did her job. Additionally, it is less likely your opponents will destroy her in the first place when they have other priority targets with persistent effects. This can allow you to potentially squeak out more general damage, and 5/7 isn't a bad power/toughness either. Another thing I like about Bruna is that she doesn't make you huge threat like Avacyn. I prefer to play more passively, so scaring people before the game even starts with my general is the opposite of what I want to do. And finally, we can't forget about good ole Brisela, Voice of Nightmares. Though it will be a rare occurence because there are no creature tutors in the deck, once you get Gisela, the Broken Blade you can keep recurring her with Bruna to make the monstrous general Brisela. Another note for Bruna is that she can recur Magus of the Disk for more field destruction fun.

Cards to note:

Oblivion Ring is really useful in this deck because you can target your own cards. This allows you to Planar Cleansing and keep an important permanent of yours alive.

Pull from Eternity is a hilarious card because most people haven't seen it before, or at least haven't seen it used. Additionally, this deck has a lot of targets for exile, so being able to put them back into your graveyard to be recurred by Bruna is useful.
