i am trying to build a pure angel deck.. i love angels. only every combination doesn't seem to work very well, the deck is too slow. are there other creature types that work well with angels? any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
This will get moved eventually by the admins. To your question, angels are usually mid-range creatures (they rarely show up at 1-3 cmc, more likely 4+), so you want some cheap creatures to hold off the opponent until then. I'd try throwing human or soldier tribal into it, those usually have a lot of creatures in white in the 1-3 cmc range.

Humans have synergy with Angels as well. Angelic Overseer and Herald of War are a couple. This wasn't meant to be Standard right?

If you aren't worried about format I ran a very successful pillow fort deck using mostly angels.
It ran a ton of Lockdown Cards: Ghostly Prison , Windborn Muse , Oblivion Ring , Faith's Fetters along side a ton of other enchantments like Land Tax ... to help fuel Serra's Sanctum .
The endgame was to power out Akroma, Angel of Wrath and swing home OR to sit behind Serra's Blessing and Pristine Angel (with vigilance pristine angel has protection from all colors and artifact) and just stall the game out and win by utilizing Beacon of Immortality so you don't draw out first.
It worked great but a lot of my friends hated playing against it :)

The MTG Q&A forum is intended to be for rules-related questions. This is the perfect kind of topic for the Deck Help forum.
