Hello and welcome back to the game! Commander is definitely the best format for the game these days (in my opinion, anyway) and Giada is one of the best commanders printed this past year. Great choice!
You can definitely tweak this deck to be a lot smoother, and none of my suggestions will be terribly expensive (which is a subjective term, I know).
Recommended cuts:
-
Archway Angel You don't have any Gates, so you don't get any benefit from her.
-
Goldenglow Moth Too low impact.
-
Valiant Veteran You have four (technically five because of the changeling Bloodline Pretender) Soldiers in the deck. A cool card, for sure, but doesn't have enough support here.
-
Unclaimed Territory and Unknown Shores These are much better for multicolor decks.
-
Join Forces and Righteousness Like the above cards, these are nice but they don't quite fit here. Join Forces is great in a deck like Anax and Cymede or Feather, the Redeemed!
Recommended additions:
- Bonders' Enclave and War Room to replace the two lands. These two cards can help mono white's card draw woes immensely. Other potential lands to look at are Cave of the Frost Dragon Windbrisk Heights and Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire.
Oblation and Swords to Plowshares for some more removal. Oblation can also be used on your stuff, either to protect it by shuffling it into the deck or just to draw some cards.
- Angels tend to lend themselves really well into lifegain themes. I see you already have Resplendent Angel in here (which is great! I love that card!) so why not take a look at Righteous Valkyrie and/or Angelic Accord/Valkyrie Harbinger? Both are great on their own and can turn games around when working together.
I have a Rule 0 commander deck featuring Serra the Benevolent as commander. While not exactly the same, it can be pretty close to what Giada wants to do.(Rule 0 meaning "Hey guys, would it be okay if I bend the rules and play this? If not, it's cool. I'll use Lyra Dawnbringer instead.") Here's the link if you would like to check it out for some other ideas/inspirations.
(RULE 0) Serra the Benevolent - Song of All (v1.4)
On a similar note, the user Guerric has a fantastic Giada deck on here that I'm pretty sure is the highest rated one. His deck would probably offer much better advice/insight than mind could. His deck is below. (Hope you don't mind me putting you on the spot like this!)

That's all I have for now. Hopefully this helps some!

This is awesome!
I get that this is an expensive cmc add but what are your thoughts on using Anax and Cymede here?

Feather Redeems Boros in EDH [Primer]

KayneMarco - They do get exiled, but they make excellent attackers with any of the buff creatures (Leonin Lightscribe, Anax and Cymede, Phalanx Leader) and they can be made on opponents' turns so they can function as blockers against things without trample, I'm really excited for this card actually lol

Feather, the Redeemed

First off, I envy you your opportunity to play Feather! My meta hated her so much they straight up begged me to retire her.
I definitely recommend some of the little cantrips, like Rile. I also found Burning Prophet to be great, and I had a bit of an heroic sub-theme, so Anax and Cymede were in it, and Zada, Hedron Grinder from your maybeboard did real work. I also think that Storm-Kiln Artist will be your best friend ever.

Emrakul, Ulamog and Kozilek
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi Titan
~ can not be countered, flying, trample, protection from colours.
When you cast ~, draw 5 cards, then reveal a card from your hand. Exile up to 2 target permanents with mana value equal to or less than the mana value of the revealed card. If you revealed a colourless, non-artifact card this way, take an extra turn after this one.
Annihilator 6.
Whenever a player would sacrifice any number of permanents, if they do not control the required number of permanents, they exile cards from their hand equal to the difference.
25/25
ULTRA ANNIHILATOR! Slapping two creatures on one card is not unheard of ( Anax and Cymede for example).
Make a Gearhulk (see Combustible Gearhulk , Torrential Gearhulk )

standard meta
Also, I'd like to see a MDFC that puts one multicolored legendary creature into two sides which add up to the original cost. So Kunoros, Hound of Athreos would become two separate cards name Kunoros, one + or + , or like Nicol Bolas becoming + on each side. The point is that casting both sides adds up to the original casting cost exactly. Each side also must have at least one color (Unless there's a really cool way to justify colorless).
Alternatively, you can separate any of the Two character - one creature card cards. Those are
Adrix and Nev, Twincasters
,
Anax and Cymede
,
Firesong and Sunspeaker
,
Gisa and Geralf
,
Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis
,
Mina and Denn, Wildborn
, and
Tibor and Lumia
. Also, I don't like
Sen Triplets
,
Shattergang Brothers
, or any Trostani for this, as three characters don't divide how I'd like, really.
Rin and Seri, Inseparable are INSEPARABLE!
