Update —Oct. 14, 2014

Swapped Angelheart Vial for Well of Lost Dreams and Ray of Dissolution with Savage Beating. Decks ultimate goal is to bring out heavy creatures and get one or a few good swings in for a kill.

Don't put your commander in your card list, it is already counted so this makes you 1 card short in your deck.

Lands and mana fixing suggestions.Cavern of Souls ,Emeria, The Sky Ruin ,Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx ,Weathered Wayfarer ,Caged Sun ,and Land Tax . These will help out a lot.

Mana rocks, you need some. Some good ones are, Basalt Monolith , Mana Vault , and Thran Dynamo . Add in a Unwinding Clock and a Voltaic Key and their value goes up. You could drop your land cards down to 38ish.

You need so lower curve creatures for the early game, like Stoneforge Mystic , Leonin Relic-Warder , Knight of the White Orchid , Student of Warfare . These are low cost but still have value in the late game.

Quicksilver Amulet can help you get some of your higher cost creatures out earlier.

If you want take a look at the deck Host of Heaven/Fist of God it's my mono white deck. It's a work in progress as I obtain the higher cost cards.

How about Avacyn, Angel of Hope instead of the other one?

Avacyn, Angel of Hope is on my acquire list as it is a costly card. It will certainly be added once acquired.

Pariah and Pariah's Shield would be a good and cheaper alternative for ur general 2nd ability.

This deck looks really slow. You're going to need a lot of mana rocks to make up for the high CMC your creatures are going for, so adding things like Urza's Incubator , Gilded Lotus , Darksteel Ingot , Caged Sun , Gauntlet of Power , and Coalition Relic would do wonders for the deck. And if you are feeling really cheesy, running Cryptic Gateway or even Quicksilver Amulet will let you cheat out a lot of your creatures.

I'm really not a fan of Obelisk of Urd, since Coat of Arms is a vast improvement over it. Your deck could also doesn't really have any way of dealing with things your opponent's play, so adding removal like Swords to Plowshares , Path to Exile , Oblation , and Return to Dust would help you stay relevant on the board.

Thank you Teal_Fox I have on my acquire list Gilded Lotus , Caged Sun and both have arrived at my local game store recently.

The suggestion of swapping Obelisk of Urd and Coat of Arms is more likely going to happen.

I did find that I needed a few more instants so ill be making room for them.

Also, though not an Angel, Serra Ascendant is pretty crazy early game in EDH

Before I decided to go tribal Serra Ascendant was a must. She is in my other EDH deck.

Hiya,

I'd suggest Kor Haven and Pearl Medallion for right now.. My Avacyn EDH deck might have more ideas for you:

Avacyn's Spirit Bomb

If you want, take a look at my deck Genji Glove it could give you some ideas.

You currently have way too many mountains in your deck, by about 7 i'd say, replace them with plains. If you aren't planning on adding in more red I would suggest going mono white as you have a fairly good base for mono-white right now. This is my Mono-white deck Host of Heaven/Fist of God it isn't great, but it can hold its own.

I am actually going to be adding more red here once I get some more cards in. Cards like Akroma, Angel of Fury , Gisela, Blade of Goldnight , and Firemane Angel are the creatures that will be added. I was also thinking about adding non creature cards like Gleam of Battle , Waves of Aggression , and Savage Beating . After having played this deck a lot I pretty much can get a win condition by bringing out my commander. Having three combat turns per turn along with double strike will certainly end a game quickly at that point.

Savage Beating + Spellbinder

Aggravated Assault + Sword of Feast and Famine are both pseudo-infinite combos, and great for your theme.

I've had it go off and ended up attacking a guy for 3 flying damage over and over again until he died. That ended my combo since the other opponent could block me.

Now if I had with Trailblazer's Boots or some other condition to make me unblockable it's a full on infinite combo.

Those are great suggestions that I think I can work into the deck. Great thing amount some of the angels is they do have protection so in a sense they are unblockable making that combo very possible.

I can't stress enough how much mana an angel deck really needs to be effective.

I love angels and run a mono white tribal myself, cards that could help your mana situation:

Land Tax , Weathered Wayfarer , Everflowing Chalice , Thunder Totem , Boros Signet

Some other angel's that are worth looking into (have proven themselves to me):

Mirror Entity , Angel of Jubilation , Twilight Shepherd (protection from board wipes), and one of my favorite combos: Anything that gives creatures vigilance and Pristine Angel ... Unblockable, untargetable (mostly), can block anything!

Thanks for the comment. Playing in the tribal league that is in the local area the creature type must 100% be the one chosen unless the card directly says chosen creature in the rules text. Everflowing Chalice is a great idea and I found some one who has Twilight Shepherd , still acquiring more. Picked up Firemane Angel , Sublime Archangel , Serra Avenger , and Basandra, Battle Seraph today. Also added in Gilded Lotus to help with mana. Pristine Angel is already in my deck list and is a wonderful card.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have a friend who has Blinding Angel I may trade for. I am going to play test a couple times to see if that card may be necessary .
