Herald of Faith

Creature — Angel

Flying Whenever Herald of Faith attacks you gain 2 life.

I would specifically- take out: Herald of Faith (Not very good. Body is barely ok, 2 life is not that much) Puresteel Paladin (You don't have enough equipment for it to be good) Tajic, Blade of the Legion (It doesn't have any evasion, and a conditional 7/7 is not good) Defy Death (This effect is not good enough for 5 mana. There is a 4 mana version but it's still not very good) Sephara, Sky's Blade (While you do have a lot of fliers, you don't have enough to get the reduced cost frequently)

A lot of your Planeswalkers don't really contribute to your plan of attacking a ton, I would drop some of them.

Mentor is not a very good keyword for commander, a single +1/+1 counter on each attack is not very good, I would recommend taking out the creatures

You do have too many board wipes. You specifically don't want the board to be wiped because you rely on creatures a ton. There might be some synergy with all of your ways to give indestructible.

To help you build the deck, I would organize it with custom tags. Sort all of your cards into one of the following categories:

() Lands

() Removal

() Draw/Card advantage (Etali goes in this, for example)

() Ramp

() Goodstuff (general good cards, like Archangel Avacyn  Flip and Akroma, Angel of Fury. These cards are good, but do not contribute to the general deck theme or synergise with multiple attack steps)

() Synergy (cards that do things when you attack. I would only file cards that give you a permanent advantage when they attack, like Firemane Avenger Sun Titan or Hero of Bladehold, but not Odric, Lunarch Marshal)

With such a high mana curve why not run more counter? I beat a deck with my Blue mill because they couldn't get anything out on the board very similar to this one. What about Oketra's Monument to help with curve and Ajani's Welcome and/or Fountain of Renewal to help with life gain until you get your mana ramped up? Settle the Wreckage is great but by the time you have the mana I would want to be dropping Angels by the time that enters. With Shalai's hex proof extension why not run Fumigate? I believe its mana cost is less than Settle the Wreckage. I also don't see how History of Benalia fits this deck, since you are only running 8 knights. I would also recommend Herald of Faith. Just my 2 cents as a low rent player. These Angel decks keep popping up at my FNM and have not been very successful as mono. A blue/white midrange Angel deck thumped everyone at a Standard Showdown I went to on 8/1.
