This is a Blue/White Exalted Deck that should hopefully beat down the opponent with a single swing.
With Dragon's Maze getting closer it's time to think about some revamps.
Exalted Creatures/Lands/Enchantments
Sublime Archangel she's just ugly and helps in many ways.
Cathedral of War -exalted land
Control
Render Silent nice little counter spell
Detention Sphere -super o ring than can do a lot of harm (mass tokens, planeswalker, etc)
Martial Law basic detain control for the midrange/late game.
Other Creatures
Silverblade Paladin -double swing with exalted is just plain ugly!
Geist of Saint Traft - exalted swing then bond the angel with the paladin for more damage per turn.
Planeswalkers:
Ajani, Caller of the Pride -a fantastic Planeswalker for the +1 ability in this deck.
Other spells
Faith's Shield give anything protection, yeah I'll take that.
Sideboard:
Sphinx's Revelation card draw/life gain-use against Rakdos theme decks.
Divine Deflection soothes the burn
Supreme Verdict for the mass token decks
Cloudshift for protection
Rest in Peace to stop re-animator decks.
Aven Squire for more exalted if the previous games go very long.
+2Tamiyo, the Moon Sage for added control.
Added a Splash of blue
-4War Falcon +4Judge's Familiar . The Owl feels better in this deck.-4Oblivion Ring +4Detention Sphere - Super O-Ring -4Honor of the Pure +4Martial Law - I think the detain ability should work well with the exalted ability-4Plains +4Hallowed Fountain for blue mana

added +1 Ajani, Caller of the Pride , -1 Angelic Benediction
tweaked sideboard some as well
I would prefer Soul Warden to the Healer of the Pride , it gets out faster and gains life from your opponants creatures.
Also if you are runnning Planar Cleansing try to get a couple more of them and run a card:Faith's Reward for massive lifegain bonuses from the Soul Warden
8/29/12
Major Update to the deck, removed all Lifegain abilities.
i would still try to fit in a few Cloudshift to have some protection for Sublime Archangel
First thing in this deck is that besides the Knight of Glory that is pro black you have no ways of getting any of the exalted damage through. So a simple 1/1 can block your biggest creature and you do no damage.
I would take out Serra Avatar s, Rain of Blades which does nothing at all, 2 Cathedral of War , and one Angelic Benediction . All these cards are pretty bad and dont really help you out.
I would run 4 card:Faith's Shield so you can give your creature pro some color to get through.
Exalted is ok but you need to make the deck the right way were you can consistently do damage.
I think War Falcon can go a long way for this deck, it punches through for early damage with all those knights, and it can kill an Insectile Aberration Flip Flip.
Like has been said, add War Falcon and card:Faith's Shield
card:Faith's Shield is a good replacement for Rain of Blades , but I'm looking at what to cut for the War Falcon right now.
If it was me I'd probably go -1 Serra Avatar , -2 Angelic Benediction (personally I feel like this card eats up a nice four drop spot) and -1Serra Avenger , you won't miss the avenger in your opening hand if you have a War Falcon . +4 War Falcon
My wife playtested this deck against a few others. In the end she removed -2Serra Avatar , -1Serra Avenger and +3War Falcon , the deck worked very well with some issues with miracle cards.
I have to agree with jminute14. Angelic Benediction is not worth it. If you have the Sublime Archangel out, making more creatures is better than anything else, even a simple card:Captain's Call gives thrice the effect. Alternatively, you could look into reusable protection (i.e. equipment); Swiftfoot Boots comes to mind, but you'll have to look into post rotation. Maybe Mask of Avacyn would be more thematic (although admittedly high cmc).
This is without doubt the best exalted deck i have seen, great job +1
best deck name in history!!! you might want Increasing Devotion , for the tokens with the angel. turn 4 play the angel. turn 5 devotion, that would be a ton of exalted buff.
Increasing Devotion could be a lot of fun in this deck, and I might try it post rotation. Right now I'm looking at adding some fo the Detain Mechanic when RTR comes out.
Thinking of removing Divine Deflection and trying either card:Sphinx's Revelation or Righteous Authority
card:Sphinx's Revelation (3x) is actually sideboard now in this deck. I just realized I haven't updated the SB in a while. Thanks!

I know your trying to gain a lot of life but in my experience cards like card:Angel's Mercy that only gain you life aren't worth it and it is much more viable to maybe throw in some Pacifism to not lose life or something with lifelink or even Lifelink to be proactive while gaining life
