This is my first attempt at building a commander deck.

The central premise is in making the various threats in the deck impossible to get rid of. Many creatures, such as Voice of All and Oversoul of Dusk come in with protection, or grant it like Mother of Runes. Enchantments including Absolute Grace and Absolute Law spread protection to the board. A cornerstone is Concerted Effort, which spreads protection to every creature. Also prevalent are hexproof effects (Cards like Archetype of Endurance and Asceticism and cards that grant indestructibility (such as Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Deathless Angel)

The goal is to put a card like Platinum Angel onto the field, and make it wholly impossible to remove, steal, nullify, or deal with with the other tools in the deck. What do you care about your opponents foolish machinations? watch as they struggle in vain while your indestructible squadrons fill the skies. The angels reign eternal.

The deck has playtested well, though I still don't have an easy answer for enchantment removal, particularly exile based removal. Sterling Grove can help defend by granting hexproof to other enchantments, but control heavy decks can unwind the whole package by starting with it and then axing the others. I am always grateful for suggestions!
