MTG Q&A is intended to be for rules-related questions. This topic is better suited for either the Deck Help subforum, the Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation subrofum, or the Standard subforum (pick one, don't cross-post).

Eh, it'll depend entirely on what Khans brings. Taking out RTR & M14, I don't see much in terms of an Archangel-esque white creature. Soul of Theros might've been nice if it were a wee bit cheaper.

I can't see one specific white creature being as powerful, but I can see plenty of smaller creatures working really well together. Brimaz, King of Oreskos pairs nicely with Preeminent Captain , and Eidolon of Countless Battles can get ridiculous pretty quickly (basically, soldier tribal/token/weenies might be a thing), but off the top of my head I've yet to see one that really strikes me as a must-have in any deck splashing white.

I think it's better to save the speculation for once the Khans spoilers come out, honestly.

It's viable.... I hate that I have to create a new deck though as Archangel of Thune was the main point of my deck.

That's standard for you. If you want to still use her in a deck, try modern. That way, you'll never run into the problem of her rotating out (unless she becomes banned, which I doubt).

Storm Crow , but maybe white? Possibly a snowy owl of some sort?
