Eshe here! We've made a few changes to the deck after acquiring a few new cards.

1x Angelic Accord --> 1x Divine Visitation With Divine Visitation all tokens (such as Regna, the Redeemer's 1/1 white Warrior creature tokens) will become 4/4 white Angel creature tokens with flying and vigilance, which will grant more life gain on cards such as Angelic Chorus.

1x Bontu's Monument --> 1x Jet Medallion Instead of specifically reducing the cost of black creatures (which this deck does not run many of) this will reduce the cost of all black spells.

1x Ashnod's Altar --> 1x Sensei's Divining Top I wasn’t utilizing Ashnod’s Altar, so by replacing it with Sensei’s Divining Top I can more effectively use Krav’s draw trigger.

1x City of Shadows --> 1x Twilight Drover I didn’t get a chance to use City of Shadows in a game, so it may go back into the deck in the future. With Carnival of Souls it’s a way to generate mana (like for Krav’s trigger or other spells) and losing small amounts of life isn’t typically a big deal (especially if an enchantment is out that’s generating life when a creature enters).

1x Crawlspace --> 1x Chromatic Lantern Pulled a Chromatic Lantern so I’m going to give it a try. With the addition of Divine Visitation I will hopefully have a way to get some larger, flying blockers.

1x Crypt Incursion --> 1x Bloodchief Ascension Picked up a Bloodchief Ascension so I wanted to give it a try. The downside to Crypt Incursion in this deck is it’s a one-use spell. There’s no way to incur it again. With Bloodchief Ascension it’s hitting the opponent while gaining life.

1x Geode Golem --> 1x Auriok Champion While Geode Golem’s ability is great, aside from Rogue’s passage there isn’t a way to get him to consistently hit most opponents in this deck. Auriok Champion lowers the mana curve and gives another way to gain life.

1x Oketra's Monument --> 1x The Immortal Sun The Immortal Sun reduces costs of all spells instead of just white creatures. The extra casting cost also gives the added benefits of shutting down planeswalkers, an extra draw, and a little bonus to creatures.

1x Skull Storm --> 1x Blind Obedience

1x Strionic Resonator --> 1x Authority of the Consuls Blind Obedience and Authority of the Consuls are similar in effect and both provide a way to generate life.

1x Unmake --> 1x Darksteel Mutation I have a decent removal package, but I needed a way to deal with the trickier creatures (such as commanders).

1x Viscera Seer --> 1x Obzedat, Ghost Council Obzedat is another life generator. Combined with Angelic Chorus and/or Alhammarret's Archive the amount is doubled.

Foiled

1x Hero's Downfall to 1x Hero's Downfall

1x Isolated Chapel (DOM) to 1x Isolated Chapel

1x Orzhov Guildgate (GTC) to 1x Orzhov Guildgate
