noctis is cheating

Ferropede and Thrull Parasite are a little fragile, but they're very good at keeping finality counters away. Magister Sphinx has a big mana cost, and it's a niche meta card, but can help reign in someone's life total if it's getting out of control, or just set up a lethal attack. Sharuum the Hegemon could be fun here.
I'm not sure you're getting full value out of Altar of the Wretched Flip. What's the intent here? You get one sacrifice, some draw, some self-mill, and a potentially big but not especially versatile creature. And the creatures in the deck are generally small to mid-sized, so you have to dump a lot of future value into what's basically a big-but-not-huge beater. Am I missing something?
With no Rooms, Keys to the House isn't any better than Wanderer's Twig or Traveler's Amulet. Armillary Sphere, Moonsilver Key or Wayfarer's Bauble might be better--a little more expensive to use, but more utility.
Stoic Rebuttal is on-theme, but Counterspell is just better.
There's kind of a Thopter token subtheme here. Does it feel like it's working?

Back again, legendofa, and maybe for the last time. The art is all homogenizing and my eyes are starting to glaze over, but I managed to pick these first person viewpoint cards from a few different sets.
•Happily Ever After (check out the far right side, I think we’re seeing this from the viewpoint of whoever’s holding the goblet with a blue shirt)
•Mirror Shield (I prefer the Ocarina of Time version myself)
Possibles:
•Grim Physician At first I thought the hand in the foreground belonged to someone else, then I thought it belonged to the sick guy, and I’ve been bouncing back and forth since. Not enough art is shown for me to settle on a choice.
•Idyllic Tutor Hand coming in from out of frame, but no way is this a first person perspective.
•Memory Drain I can’t tell if it’s a guy or a statue bust reflected in the eyes, but either way I think the angle is too far off for it to be a FPP reflection view.
•Traveler's Amulet unless the scenery reflected in the medallion has eyeballs, I think this one’s out.

Took a look at the Egyptian block legendofa, found some good ones.
•Driven / Despair (particularly the Despair half)
•Nissa's Defeat (might have to go under Tentacles/Tendrils category, but I think it counts)
These are close but I’m not sure how you feel:
•Accursed Horde I’m in favor of this one. No hands are shown which belong to the subject, but I am convinced this is first person. The skeleton guy is grabbing the necklace of the viewer.
•Lethal Sting I have no idea what sort of creature this stinger is connected to, so I don’t know if this is from its perspective or not.
•Deem Worthy is definitely FPP, but we only see a weapon without any hands shown.
•Lay Bare the Heart the angle might be a bit too side-on to be 1st person, but your call.

I took out Traveler's Amulet, and Wanderer's Twig, even though I LOVE these cards in this deck (see reasons above)...
Kept in Expedition Map, and Environmental Sciences (same reasons as see above)...
Expedition map searches for any land, which is super utility in this deck, and it's a colorless tutor, even if it is conditional... It also supports Manascape Refractor, which I'm hyped on, and trying out...
Environmental sciences is the same idea as the Amulet and Twig and Map (see above), it helps you have a land drop, but it's also 1 of only 7 sorceries as of now, which count towards casting Emrakul, the Promised End when in the graveyard...

Anatak thank you for your comment! I'm glad you've been inspired to make your own Angel deck!
As for Traveler's Amulet, I like it as we can tutor for a basic and help to thin the deck. It isn't absolutely necessary, as you could probably get away with something like Extraplanar Lens if you really wanted to. Plus, it can be recurred with Serra Paragon so we can get more value out of it.

Allow me to begin by thanking you. I've taken a lot of inspiration from this deck in crafting my own Angel deck.
I wanted to ask: Regarding Traveler's Amulet, is this manner of Artefact worth it in mono-colour deck? It seems like we wouldn't really be gaining much value from it, or am I missing something?

Hehe, I just took out Wanderer's Twig, and Traveler's Amulet, for a sec, I think to try and fit in both Abstruse Archaic and Lithoform Engine, since Roaming Throne doesn't work like I first thought it did, but I got excited to copy abilities...
I was also able to fit Wayfarer's Bauble back in, which I think is ultimately better then the Twig and Amulet, but still isn't really that great, but same arguments to include it as the Twig and Amulet...
Yeah, um Environmental Sciences is a p BAD card, and I would probably never play it any other deck... but it happens to be a colorless Sorcery, which is kind of rare, so it's actually a hard-to-get-discount on Emrakul's casting cost... and it's cheap, and it gets a land... It's not a good card, but in this deck it kinda does a lot... Sojourner's Companion is similar to Environmental Sciences, in that it cost 2 to get a land into hand, and is also a p BAD card... But it can count as two card types in the graveyard for Emrakrul, and even though I think it will be done sparingly in the future, there will be better artifact lands that have yet to be printed...
I'm really trying to milk Emrakul's cost reduction in this deck, because I'm trying to ramp it out as soon as possible... I've won on turn 3 several times by casting Emy, because I had the ramp AND card types in the grave, to totally control the game state, mess everyones else up, and then just smash face... Getting infinite mana helps too... But yeah, the sooner you have the option to casy Emy the better, so that's why I'm still running bad colorless instants and sorceries...
I guess until there are more better colorless instants, sorceries, and tutors, I think I'm still going to run these jank cards, because they're still as good as it gets for now... But it does work! I rip face with this deck at the mall...
But heard! Thanks for the consideration and input!

Ha! I also just remembered that Sojourner's Companion is included. This card is a weird include, but it acts kind of like Traveler's Amulet and Wayfarer's Bauble, in that it gets a land and it can count for towards Emrakrul in the graveyard. As of now, the only cards it can search for are Darksteel Citadel and Treasure Vault, Treasure Vault being the more like useful option, as it can give you extra mana for the next turn - I think of it kind of like a worse Skittering Invasion - and it can also be a land in the graveyard for Emrakrul's cost reduction.
Ultimately, I think this is kind of cool and dorky, but maybe not powerful enough to include. I honestly haven't used it enough to get a good sense of weather it's worth it or not.
But, I also hope and assume that one day, more powerful artifact lands will be printed, and then it might be actually a really cool card... I could def see taking this out for something more useful, but right now I think I still need to see more play with it before I take it out...
