I've long desired to do a chromatic angel deck, and I think this one is pretty decent, although I would welcome feedback and suggestions, as I'm getting back into M:tG since leaving at launch of Mirage! So, this deck relies on Defense of the Heart to drop big, beautiful angels on your opponent's face as early as turn 3, with the perfect opening hand. Let's take a look:

1. T1 - Forbidden Orchard + Exploration + Thran Quarry + Birds of Paradise + Leyline of Sanctity
2. T2 - Forbidden Orchard + tap Forbidden Orchard to play Defense of the Heart
3. T3 - if opponent has 3 creatures boarded, sac Defense of the Heart and drop 2 fatties on him/her.

I usually lead with Linvala, Keeper of Silence and Iona, Shield of Emeria which usually ensures a GG. There are other cards you could drop, such as Maelstrom Archangel and Aurelia, the Warleader , both of which play nicely with Kaalia of the Vast , but to be honest, Iona and Linvala usually get the job done.
