Veteran Bodyguard
Creature — Human
As long as Veteran Bodyguard is untapped, all damage that would be dealt to you by unblocked creatures is dealt to Veteran Bodyguard instead.

You could also try Kindred Boon and Darksteel Plate with Protector of the Crown or Veteran Bodyguard or Weathered Bodyguards or Palisade Giant.

I know you're going for Angel tribal, which I admire a lot (I had an Avacyn angel deck for a long time--list is here.) But I would consider dropping some of these higher-cost angels like Reya Dawnbringer and your Brisela pair for creatures that synergize well with Avacyn like Veteran Bodyguard and Weathered Bodyguards.

do you mean Veteran Bodyguard? Although it is a cool combo with Indestructibility and such, it's a bit of a nonbo with the point of the deck which is to damage myself and get tokens.

That's part of the plus side too though. You can bump off opponent's equipment and auras at will.
Something like a Veteran Bodyguard is very nice here. If they can get past you they're white and the bodyguard has protection from them. Lots of ways around the downside.

Veteran Bodyguard. Also, pretty sure this is the Hoff...

16 of your Creatures die to Languish. All of them die to a Merciless Eviction. All manner of mass bounce effects function just fine such as Cyclonic Rift (overloaded), Scourge of Fleets, Crush of Tentacles, Devastation Tide, Displacement Wave and Profaner of the Dead.
More threatening though are "Each opponent loses X life" effects. A RTR-era Casual Orzhov Extort deck could quite easily out-race a turn-4 Darksteel Reactor and said deck now has some powerful toys in the form of Cliffhaven Vampire, Drana's Emissary and Kalastria Healer.
Also it seems your only flying defence is Veteran Bodyguard and Ghostly Possession. Ignoring the high cost of the bodyguards, that's 8 cards in 100 which aren't great odds.
Have you considered Sphere of Safety and it's ilk?

Replace 2 plains, one with Myriad Landscape and the other with Emeria, The Sky Ruin.
Replace Veteran Bodyguard with Palace Guard
Healing Salve doesn't do much, replace with Ghostly Possession, combos with some other cards in the deck if kitsune is deactivated while also working to prevent damage dealt by an opposing creature.
If you play in a more casual environment, remove Armageddon, that card isn't fun for anybody and just extends the game. I would suggest putting in Austere Command instead.
Pillowfort cards: Windborn Muse, Forcefield, Archangel of Tithes, Ghostly Prison, Norn's Annex, Blazing Archon, Sphere of Safety, Angelic Arbiter, etc.
First strike prevents most damage right? Archetype of Courage
also, SunTitan is just the best, especially when combined with Emeria, The Sky Ruin
