Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Giada, Font of Hope drives a mono-white Angel beatdown strategy: Giada both ramps Angel spells and places +1/+1 counters on each Angel that enters, turning every subsequent Angel into an above-rate flyer. The deck aims to flood the air with Angels and 4/4 Angel tokens, gain incidental life through lifelink and Bishop of Wings, and then convert that life into card draw and more tokens via Resplendent Angel, The Gaffer, and Exemplar of Light. Secondary lines are a smothering token engine (Luminarch Ascension, Court of Grace) and a three-card treasure combo (Exalted Sunborn with Smothering Tithe and Gleaming Splendor). A heavy protection package-Avacyn, Sephara, Flawless Maneuver-keeps the board intact for a final alpha strike.
