Cut Putrid Imp
and Maelstrom Archangel by 1, each, to add in Angelic Arbiter. Her ability meshes with this deck really well, adhering to the plan of severely limiting what an opponent is allowed to do with their turn. Maelstrom Archangel is really more of a convenience than a necessity, and Putrid Imp is more of a contingency than he is part of the main battle-plan. They both have a place in the deck, but neither compares to the power of the Arbiter.
As a side note, I tried running this deck with Orim's Chant instead of Holy Day. It didn't go as well as I'd hoped, due to the mana cost of the Chant's kicker. This deck needs black mana WAY more than it needs white, and its land numbers need to meet that need. To make the Chant viable, you'd need to add a higher percentage of white mana, which could end up giving you Plains when you REALLY need a Swamp. It's possible to make it work, but I think Holy Day does the job just fine.

I'm particularly interested in what you guys think about Angelic Arbiter taking the place of (at least) one copy of one of the other angels. Maybe replacing 1 copy of Iona, Shield of Emeria. My thinking is that the more weapons you have to limit what your opponent can do, the less likely they'll gain the upper hand. I just want to ensure that the deck has, at least, 1 back-up of every angel, in case one of them gets exiled. What do you think? Too much, or is the deck fine the way it is?
