Akroma, Angel of Wrath . And some more equipment. Stoneforge really isn't grabbing very much.

Molten Frame and Magma Jet out. Fork and Wrath of God in. My two cents. Good luck!

you need some quick beaters too I would highly recommend Serra Ascendant as a quick beater and Figure of Destiny .

also see Epochalyptik's List of EDH Staples and Power Cards.

I would make sure that every card you include serves some kind of purpose. For example, Mindcrank doesn't really seem to interact with anything and it just takes up space as a result.

Kabira Crossroads and Teetering Peaks are unnecessary; they don't really contribute enough to warrant them coming into play tapped.

Angelsong , Gleam of Resistance , and Magma Jet seem underpowered to me.

You might want to consider Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker , Academy Rector , Enlightened Tutor , Idyllic Tutor , card:Sensei's Divining Top, Thran Dynamo , Gilded Lotus , and Coalition Relic for starters. Some of them are a bit expensive depending on your budget, but they are all good cards.

What about cards like Gratuitous Violence or Curse of Bloodletting ?

Never heard of Gratuitous Violence before; kinda like that idea. As for the curse, I do a lot of multiplayer games (6-8 players) usually with this deck, so only bein able to target one player with it isn't all too effective.

Brion Stoutarm and Bloodshot Cyclops can be very helpful when creatures are already on their way to the graveyard or exile and can serve as alternate win cons the additional damage works very well too. there are a lot of cards in my build that uses brion stoutarm as my general but the deck is still very much playable let me know if it helps and what you think. STRONG TOSS!

31 lands? Don't torture yourself with that low of a land count -- an avarage hand would yeild you 1-2 lands. It's going to be pretty hard to kick ass if all you can play are just the 39 non-land cards with cmc of 3 or less in your deck. I mean, there's a whole third of your deck that costs more than that! I would recommend adding a few more mana rocks too!

Cutsin is right. You want 37-38 lands. Also, you may consider mana rocks that double as card draw. My Endless Ranks (Aurelia, the Warleader) list includes (but is not limited to):
Mind Stone
Boros Cluestone
Commander's Sphere
Hedron Archive
Dreamstone Hedron

I'd swap out Stranglehold for Warstorm Surge. Combo of Gisela and tokens pleads that WS be run.

I'm also worried about the lack of card advantage this deck runs.

Aurelia, the Warleader, Aggravated Assault, Mana Barbs(the synergy with your commander ;) ), Sword of Feast and Famine, Wrath of God i could go on see if any of these are helpful suggestions

oh and btw aggravated assault and Sfaf, combo for infinite combat phases

Aurelia's Fury and Razia's Purificationare good spells to reek havoc with blockers and shut down control respectively

My Boros Angels deck is having reasonable success, and is lots of fun, hope it helps: Battle Angels

Hey Kalink27 I see this has been around for a while but I hope this still helps. I'm not sure how your playgroup is but I'd defiantly recommend more lands and ramp. Also potentially draw.

I like Bonfire of the Damned Banefire Comet Storm and id encourage more like that as they are effective and crazy with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

For combat tricks Id recommend Sunforger you can pull Double Cleave Arcbond to get messy or Angelsong Path to Exile to be defensive.

Also there is nothing wrong with doubling double effects =) Inquisitor's Flail on Malignus? or on Gisela, Blade of Goldnight if you can buff +1 is a knock out.

Oh also Heartless Hidetsugu pretty nuts with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight

Also definatly need Boros Charm even if you just replace Double Cleave

Personally Chandra, Bold Pyromancer beats Chandra Nalaar but Id have both and maybe drop something else.

Not convinced about Mindcrank seems to me like your giving any graveyard manipulation heaps of value and unless your meta has lots of lifegain I cant see you milling someone.

Looks like fun though!!!

Would be awesome if you could give my deck some thoughts!

May I ask how you will make use of the card "Howling Mine" ? To me it seems you dont have any effect to tap it. You can't tap ANY permanent unless there's a cost, an effect, or a rule instructing you to do so. That's true even for lands and creatures. You can't tap a Howling Mine for no reason and I couldnt see a card or effect claiming this but perhaps I did overread something like that ???
