In terms of your maybeboard Shalai, Voice of Plenty is a worse version of Sigarda, Font of Blessings at this point so I wouldn't bother with it. Surge of Salvation is cool but it would be a mostly dead draw if you already have Sigarda and you're probably going to be sidedecking Shapers' Sanctuary anyway as an Angels deck.

Metropolis Reformer is cool but it doesn't do enough for you compared to putting in Skyclave Apparition. Personally, I would swap alll copies of Metropolis Angel for copies of Skyclave Apparition. That way you get a more broadly targeting removal than Fateful Absence while putting another creature on the board to make the most of Righteous Valkyrie.

Errant and Giada doesn't do anything for you that Sigarda isn't already doing and you can get away with adding at least one more copy of Sigarda since it's such a high priority removal target for your opponenent that getting two in one game is okay in most match-ups. Also it let's you play Bishop of Wings from the top of your deck which Errant and Giada doesn't.

Aside from that I would say that putting in a fourth copy of of Kayla's Reconstruction and another copy of Nykthos definitely needs to be done. Additionally, if you're taking my advice and getting rid of Errant and Giada then you no longer need the blue mana and so you should really play some combination of fast/pain lands along with at least one copy of Mutavault to help kill your opponent. Emeria's Call  ^Flip is another possibility mana wise as it has good late-game utility while expanding your land base a little.

I feel I may be a bit harsh but that would be my advice for improving this deck.

Blazing Shoal and Shining Shoal would be cool tech for this strategy.

As for cuts:

Volcanic Salvo big CMC is useful but the card is lackluster. Greater Gargadon and Heroes Remembered are at least neat exile tech (especially with the Shoals I just suggested)

Emeria's Call  ^Flip the tokens are useless to this strategy and there are cheaper ways to grant indestructible.

Loxodon Warhammer and Maul of the Skyclaves for the 2 Swords I suggested. All your other equipment serve a clear purpose.

Steel Seraph is this just swiss army knife value? Angelfire Ignition at least exiles for a trigger. I'd swap Semblance Anvil for the Seraph unless I'm missing something.

Torbran, Thane of Red Fell great card but I don't see it as being degenerate in this strategy. Jester's Cap can ruin the combo opponent or at the very least use other people's high CMC to feed Bell Borca.

I did have Emeria's Call  ^Flip in the deck for awhile but never actually used the front side. 2 4/4 angels for 7 mana is a pretty bad ratio and the indestructible is nearly useless for an angel tribal deck. It seems like a hail mary card when we have absolutely nothing else to play. I've typicaly been strapped for mana so end up paying the 3 to play out my hand.

I'll have a look at you deck! It looks like a cool list. It's interesting looking at the similarities and differences. Osgir is damn cool, it's been fun seeing a Boros commander get really popular, and he makes for a fun deck. I ended up getting attached to Alibou specifically as a commander. I really just.. enjoy the top of deck manipulation, combined with removal and aggro.

I'll probably stick with Emeria's Call  ^Flip for now. I had some bad games with Sunbaked Canyon , and the call is somewhat a pet card of mine.

Chance for Glory looks Badass, I love that it's effectively an extra combat that can be tutored with Sunforger .!

What do you think about the big MDFC cycle (Turntimber Symbiosis  ^Flip, Sea Gate Restoration  ^Flip, Emeria's Call  ^Flip)? Also, Jadzi, Oracle of Arcavios  ^Flip is very fun for a deck that needs to ramp quickly, especially if combined with Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait.

The MDFCs will allow your deck to be a bit more flexible when it needs to be, with them never really being a dead draw.

Thank you for checking my list out! I'd be curious as to what your list is like, I feel like Alibou is an underplayed commander.

I've tried playing with Lodestone Myr, but wasn't really able to make it quite work despite it's synergies. I think that a lot of the artifacts in the deck are able to tap themselves for effects, so Myr doesn't have as much utility as here as it might in other builds. That being said, if the deck does get re-keyed enough at some point, Myr is probably worth reinvestigating.

Emeria's Call  ^Flip is just there in a land slot to be honest, It's not immensely synergistic, but I do cast it occasionally, and worst case is it's a painful on etb plains. Boros Charm is excellent! I put it into pretty much any deck which runs the colors for it.

I can definitely see the utility in Waves of Aggression, being able to scry lands to the top to repeatedly and reliably get extra combats sounds awesome.

Alibou caught my eye upon being spoiled as an interesting build around. I like the direction you went with your list.

Lodestone Myr really good at charging up the laser.

Emeria's Call  ^Flip does what for this strategy? If you are looking for indestructibile use Boros Charm.

Saw Seize the Day. I run it too. Waves of Aggression has performed well for me.

Emeria's Call  ^Flip didn't make the cut when I was replacing the cycling lands with MDFCs. A protection spell  ^Flip and a sweeper  ^Flip are more appealing than a token spell. I wouldn't drop one of them for Emeria's Call.  ^Flip

But I could cut a different land and have all three of them in the deck.
