This is now both the most popular Master Transmuter and the most popular Platinum Angel deck on TappedOut!

Indomitable Archangel will not fit in this deck. I don't really have white mana sources. Also, that creature costs too much mana to be reliably cast in time, I have plenty effects for this purpose at lower mana already.

This is really cool, +1. I can't recommend Grand Architect enough here, maybe as a two- or three-of.

Bonus ramp (ramps harder than Birds of Paradise ) as a backup plan -- you won't always have Master Transmuter and the Grand Architect makes all your dudes into a Vedalken Engineer , allowing you to hard cast your Platinum Angel , Darksteel Forge , etc.
Just a suggestion -- it might not fit and you don't have to use it!

Hmm... if I used Grand Architect I'd be tempted to also use Pili-Pala . I have to think this through.

what about Remand instead of Muddle the Mixture for some extra draw

Maybe Blightsteel Colossus as another back up win con?

There's also Elvish Piper and Descendants' Path , I have them in my "Angels of Deathrender " deck that also has Platinum Angel . Yours seems much more efficient and thought out though.

Thanks! I knew about Elvish Piper and chose not to go with it, as it is a different card to build around. Master Transmuter 's cost allows for more shenanigans as I can prevent something from being targeted by just lifting it to my hand and immediately drop it again. Also enables a crazy emergency combo with Fauna Shaman for when I have no creatures in hand: pull Master Transmuter for its cost, respond with Fauna Shaman , discard transmuter to find Platinum Angel and immediately drop it.
Descendants' Path seems insane in a tribal deck.

this deck awesome and pretty solid but one cards unravels this whole deck and it is Merciless Eviction although it is costly to cast would def put a damper on your deck.

Well, Merciless Eviction unravels pretty much every deck that doesn't run counterspells. Should I be facing it, I'll side in the other 2 copies of Muddle the Mixture ... it's not much, but it goes to show you that this deck can find a way to deal with it in theory.

Cool deck idea! +1 from me.
Feel free to check out my deck as well Competitive Goblins

When you ask how you win with this deck, your plan isn't awful, but there's always the other route of just beating them to death with your 4/4 flying

I've tried the cost reduction route and trust me, it does not work. Chief Engineer , Etherium Sculptor and the likes bulk up your deck and are ultimately too slow. I even replaced Vedalken Engineer with a cmc 1 mana dork to have a chance to ramp as early as possible.

Could you please explain how you use Spellskite to lower your life total?

@ALX
Well, you can put its ability on the stack as often as you like in response to itself after using Lightning Greaves on another creature for example.
