Replacing an angelic crusader

Commander Deck Help forum

So with the ban for Iona I need to find a new angel for my Aurrealia the warleader angel tribal deck.

Aurelia's Angelic crusade

My first thought are for some angels that give indestructible, but I’m open to suggestions.

Sephara, Sky's Blade is one that seems very good since it will act as a mini Avacyn.

Another I had some thoughts of and already have in paper is Archangel Avacyn  Flip since the flash indestructibility and lower cmc could be good to take people by surprise since a lot of resources tend to go into board wipes.

You're already playing Avacyn, Angel of Hope . Sephara is a downgrade and another high mana cost creature. Iona and Avacyn have high mana costs, but their abilities are worth all the mana. Sephara's is not worth it unless you can consistently use her replacement casting cost.

Consider Resplendent Angel ? Resplendent is the best lowest mana cost Angel, her ability is very good in multiplayer Commander and she's busted with Lyra. I think Baneslayer Angel and/or Archangel Avacyn  Flip also belong in place of other high mana cost Angels. Baneslayer is good with Resplendent.

I see you have Berserkers' Onslaught in the maybeboard. I also have a different take on my Boros deck. And in it I found Berserkers' Onslaught to be very good. "Menace" to Society that's the link to the deck if you want to check it out. You might get some ideas.
