Exemplar of Light
Creature — Angel
Flying
Whenever you gain life, put a +1/+1 counter on this.
Whenever you put one or more +1/+1 counters on this creature, draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.

I've been testing Exemplar of Light for both a card draw function and another creature that could deal with opposing flyers other than Railway Brawler. It seemed to work so far but I'll test out Mossborn Hydra too, thanks for the suggestion

cool deck, maybe switch out Exemplar of Light for Mossborn Hydra as it doesn't really work with the deck

Liesa but Angels

Hey, good WIP for Angels, nice Avacyn and Tithe.
When you break it down to the very basics of what you need for Angels it's three things: Angels, ramp and draw. Angels because you want to cast/attack with Angels, ramp because you want to be able to consistently cast your higher mana cost (4+ CMC) Angels and repeatable draw because you want to keep having Angels in your hand to cast. The better Angels you want to attack with, including Liesa, have a high mana cost, without more ramp you'll have a more difficult time casting them. Consider more lower mana cost (1-3 CMC) ramp and more repeatable draw sources?
In my opinion, a good rule for casual Commander deck building is having at least 10 sources of draw and at least 10 sources of ramp, allocate deck room for these. These are the most important two effects to have for smoother gameplay. Better overall gameplay makes playing Commander more fun since you'll get less frustrated with how your deck is running. Consider cutting a few of the lesser power cards compared to other cards here for more ramp and draw?
Add:
- Exemplar of Light, Resplendent Angel, Valkyrie Harbinger, Sanctuary Warden
- Arcane Signet, Talisman of Hierarchy or Mind Stone, Orzhov Signet, Wayfarer's Bauble
- Phyrexian Arena, Court of Grace, Mask of Memory, Collector's Vault
- Skullclamp or Transmogrant's Crown
- Knight of the White Orchid with Sunlit Marsh, Palace Jailer, Midnight Reaper
- Plumb the Forbidden, Night's Whisper, Read the Bones
Cut:
- Dragon Throne of Tarkir, The Pandorica, Halo Fountain, Entreat the Angels
- Unmake, Fate Forgotten and Isildur's Fateful Strike
- Legion Angel, Serra's Guardian, Emancipation Angel, Hailstorm Valkyrie, Vengeful Reaper
- Boon-Bringer Valkyrie, Seraph of the Scales, Angelic Skirmisher
- Season of the Burrow and Season of Loss
Some land upgrades to consider that are within the budget for the manabase: Caves of Koilos, Fetid Heath, Shineshadow Snarl, Great Hall of Starnheim, Tyrite Sanctum, Vault of the Archangel, Soulstone Sanctuary, Path of Ancestry
I hope this advice is helpful and I offer more if you're interested, about the potential adds/cuts I've suggested.
