CrazyDanPsycho, thank you for your interest in my Giada deck. I thought I would take a look at yours and see if I had any suggestions.

Now, I totally understand the attachment to Avacyn. (I actually still have an Avacyn deck, too.) But the shift in commanders calls for a shift in the creature base. Avacyn does not really care about what type of creatures you are running. Giada does. She wants you to run angels. I don't know your budget is, so take whatever suggestions you think will fit with it.

Breathkeeper Seraph is good for recurring Giada (or any other special angel). Angelic Sleuth makes good use of your creatures with counters dying. Norn's Choirmaster proliferates your counters. Thraben Watcher gives a bonus and vigilance. Admonition Angel outdoes your Leonin Relic-Warder and is an angel. Angel of condemnation is another removal angel. And finally, a non-angel that helps you, even in a Giada deck, Bishop of Wings, which gives lifegain and tokens. For more token fun, and generally producing tokens at a better rate than Parhelion or Moonsilver Spear, we have Entreat the Angels, Finale of Glory, and Starnheim Unleashed. You are also missing the best life-gain Ajani. Ajani, Strength of the Pride.

If you want suggestions on what to cut, just let me know!

Vessiliana:Thanks for the encouragement and support. It really means a lot. I had looked through your deck and found a good amount of inspiration, which you mostly suggested. I am going to have to dig through my collection one of these days to see how many of those cards I have, and how many I need to see if I can pick up...

Glad you found something! Giada is just so fun, and she plays out, in my experience, even more interestingly than Avacyn.

Love your deck, as a fellow Giada fan! I would, however, suggest that (because Giada enjoyers are often the most hated person at the table outside of Esper stax) you add some recursion abilities, such as Faith's Reward or Emeria Shepherd. Trust me, it is the funniest thing to counter a boardwipe with. Best of luck out there!
