ok, cut the following:

Noble Purpose, Defy Death, Entreat the Angels, Angel of Grace, Angel of Sanctions (for Christs sake just run Path to Exile ), Avacyn, Guardian Angel, Serra's Guardian, Segovian Angel, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun (you're not going wide when you play one expensive angel a turn), Angel of Dawn.

Add more efficient angels, and add better removal/board wipes.

I feel much better about your creature base. However you should lose Gustcloak Cavalier just not that good for 5 mana. Also you are a little high on 7 mana cards. Sure you get to cast many for free but too many might still get stuck in your hand with so few ways to put them back on top from your hand.

Maybe swap out Nezahal, Primal Tide and Grave Betrayal. You could put in Venser's Journal and Reanimate for similar cheaper effects. The journal still gives you no max hand size but adds a little life gain buffer each turn and reanimate only brings back one creature but it can hit anyones graveyard not just your own... also only costs one so is flippable.

Also to bring costs down a little further I would swap out Avacyn, Guardian Angel for Mother of Runes. Effectively does the same thing but only able to protect one creature a turn which should be fine. Also has the added benefit of making a creature unblockable if the opponent only controls one color creature.

Lastly take out Nullstone Gargoyle. This card is brutal and obnoxious and won't make you any friends. Which is normally fine in this game but this card also affects YOU, and your deck isn't built to play around it. If you haven't cast a non-creature and yennett flips one this guy counters it... kind of a nonbo. Maybe replace it with something like Diluvian Primordial (though 7 is much better CMC) or Necromancy for another reanimation spell that can target opponents creatures as well.

As a Vorthos player the name of your deck just irks me. Avacyn, Guardian Angel was created by a freaking VAMPIRE. To keep the other vampires from eating all the humans Sorin made Avacyn - unless you're trying to say that Sorin is God?

I try to keep it up to date too (^-^)

this is probably the only Avacyn, Guardian Angel deck still alive, everyone would rather use Avacyn, Angel of Hope .

Thank you for the suggestions! Iona we're specifically avoiding due to the no-fun factor associated with it. Also because I play, among my decks, mono-black, mono-red, and mono-green, lol. For the same reason we've avoided Linvala.

Luminarch Ascension we've considered before, however if you don't get it out early, many decks can make it so you never get to four counters.

Ghostly Prison/Authority of the Consuls/Blind Obedience are interesting includes, though I'd doubt we'd put more than one of the three in. As ways to slow down opponents, I think I favor Authority as it comes down the earliest and is the least intrusive, keeping us from being marked as a threat early on.

As for Adarkar Valkyrie, I personally think it's fantastic, but he thinks he has enough recursion already. I'm trying to convince him that since he has snow synergies he should put it in, but we'll see.

I should mention we just replaced Avacyn, Guardian Angel and Light of the Legion since the Avacyn never felt good to play. The Light is still in testing, but it seems like a good support for the combat-oriented strategy we've got going on.

Land

out:

Horizon Canopy

Brushland

Razorverge Thicket

Temple Garden

Windswept Heath

Blighted Woodland

Seraph Sanctuary

Secluded Steppe

Ghost Quarter

Temple of the False God

Creatures

out:

Archangel of Tithes

Avacyn, Guardian Angel

Bruna, the Fading Light

Gisela, the Broken Blade

Oracle of Mul Daya

(too expensive)

Weathered Wayfarer

(expensive value negated by real ramp)

in:

Aegis Angel

Angelic Arbiter

Banisher Priest

Artifact
