Pristine Angel only has protection when untapped so, assuming she doesn't have vigilance, attacking will cause her to tap and she will no longer have protection from all colors and artifacts.

If a player attacks with a Pristine Angel, with she lose her protection immediately upon attacking?

Nice one! Angels have always and will always be the coolest, and this is a great list. My only thoughts on it would be that you have both small creature synergy, Skullclamp or Mentor of the Meek and big creatures, as well as boardwipes, and my only concern for optimization would be trying to get all of those to work together. But, you know the deck way better, and you'd know if it works, so it might just be me overthinking it : )

And one card that I love in angels is Concerted Effort just because flying and vigilance together are so great in 4 player games. I feel like viggy is underrated in commander. It allows your creatures to be active for 4 turns at a time where most are active for just one, and Concerted Effort gives everything to everyone. Plus it plays great with two of my favorite angels Akroma, Vision of Ixidor and Pristine Angel Pistine plus vigilance is a great combination : )

All in all, looks awesome, and Giada is such a cool new commander. Low cmc angel synergy, I feel like we've been waiting for it forever, and now it's great.

This has probably been discussed to death, to absolute death, but still, it's fun, so...what are some of your favorite plays, combos, turns, or strategies in EDH? It could be anywhere from thoracle wins to ninjas ninjitsuing in out of nowhere.

I think one of my favorites is playing Concerted Effort before combat and watching my boardstate evolve : ) Pristine Angel all Akromas, Radiant, Archangel they're all pretty good, but they all go a little nuts with the effort. I especially like pristine angel because usually I can get vigilance onto it and then my board is really mean looking. Plus, angels are powerfully classy, in my opinion, and I do love a good angel deck.

That being said, what are some of your favs. I guess I meant this for EDH because that's where big plays make their beds, but anything and everything is welcome.

Have a good one today, everyone!

Karn's Bastion is a pretty good idea. This deck is pretty mana intensive, though, so I'm not sure what I'd cut for it. Isolated Watchtower? Was debating cutting Storm Herd or Celestial Mantle, too.

Enduring Angel  ^Flipis interesting, but seems really niche. The fact that she can only flip if you hit 0 life makes me sad. Cool card, probably not for this deck, though. Pristine Angel seems great but as I learned with my Rebbec/Glacian deck and my Multani, Maro-Sorcerer deck, protection like effects can also have the drawback of not being able to target your own stuff.

Concerted Effort seems insane for Akroma decks. I don't really think it'd be worth a spot here just to mainly add vigilance. There are only a handful of creatures that add other keywords that would make it worth it. It's a good recommendation and I added it to the maybeboard for anyone else interested, though!

Looks like an awesome deck! I really liked when Serra showed up in MH and have been trying to make her fit into things ever since. If nothing else, it's a lower cost serra angel, and that's not so bad :)

My only idea for this deck is that it might help to have more defensive creatures to keep Serra on the board. Angels with vigilance and flying can be really great in EDH because a lot of the time there is no downside to just swinging away. So, I don't know, there are a bunch of cool vigilance angels out there, maybe some of them might work with your deck. And you can always run Concerted Effort to really use those keywords to their fullest. Concerted Effort and Pristine Angel play very nice together if you can get the combo. Getting pro everything on your creatures and hopefully getting vigilance on pristine angel is a doosey. Effort can also be great with Enduring Angel  ^Flip who gives you hexproof, and that can be randomly good sometimes.

Karn's Bastion works well with your commander and Archangel of Thune It's not the most efficient proliferate effect, but sometimes you just have extra mana laying around.

I don't know, just some random thoughts :) It's early and my brain is a bit foggy, but hope it's a few ideas. I really love my mono-white edh deck because it makes you really stretch and figure out how to solve problems. People give white edh decks a bad rap, but I think they have a lot of potential.

Pristine Angel is the best blocker.

I have replaced Pristine Angel with Adarkar Valkyrie , since the latter creature is better for the theme of this deck.
