A very old casual deck build around Angels. I am also trying to update it, so any suggestions are welcome if they will improve on card abilities already here.

The deck starts slow with some life gain tricks while I start bringing the mid cost Angels online. Experience has taught me that once Archangel of Thune and Exalted Angel are in play, most games end within 5 turns. Exceptions have been Slow Aggro countering the insane life gain. Akroma, Angel of Wrath and Radiant, Archangel are primary responses to that, and Avacyn, Angel of Hope is insurance.

The deck also has some nasty tricks mainboard, and a few in a potential sideboard. Vengeful Dreams has saved me many times, while Vindicate gives me some flexible removal. Souls of the Faultless oftentimes totally shuts down combat. Akroma's Vengeance can wipe the board to stabilize; creatures I toss usually come back.

Insidious Dreams, Vengeful Dreams, and Icatian Crier get high cost angels out of my hand and into the graveyard in addition to their additional benefits.
