Deck overview

This is a Mono-White Angels/tokens/lifegain deck helmed by Giada, Font of Hope. Giada accelerates Angel deployment and pumps them with +1/+1 counters, but the deck's real engine is a token-swarm subtheme backed by redundant doublers (Anointed Procession, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, Divine Visitation) and a deep enchantment-recursion package (Academy Rector, Replenish, Starfield of Nyx, Triumphant Reckoning). The primary win is overwhelming combat with doubled or tripled Angel tokens, often under a Moat lock that shuts down ground attacks while your flyers race. A secondary combo line - Reveillark + Karmic Guide + a sac outlet - generates infinite ETB/death triggers and mana, fueling a huge Finale of Glory. Lifegain (Soul Warden, Bishop of Wings, Righteous Valkyrie) fuels both defense and the +2/+2 pump. The deck is slow but extremely resilient, grinding through wipes with mass recursion and board-level protection.
