Overview:

A mono-white Angel tribal deck focused on establishing a powerful board presence with flying creatures and protecting them through indestructibility, supported by strong artifact ramp and defensive measures.

Primer:

The deck's primary strategy revolves around ramping into Avacyn, Angel of Hope and other powerful angels while controlling the board through removal and protection effects. Early game focuses on establishing mana acceleration through artifacts like Mana Vault, Sol Ring, and cost reducers like Pearl Medallion and Urza's Incubator. The deck includes tribal support cards like Herald's Horn and Giada, Font of Hope to make angels more castable.

The mid to late game plan involves deploying large flying threats while protecting them with cards like Teferi's Protection and the commander's indestructibility effect. The deck can win through combat damage with its angel army, particularly when enhanced by cards like Akroma's Will. The inclusion of Worldslayer creates a potential lock with the commander, while cards like Smothering Tithe and Land Tax help maintain resources in longer games.

Weaknesses:

The deck is vulnerable to exile-based removal and counterspells, particularly targeting the commander before it can establish board presence. The high mana curve makes it susceptible to early aggression, and despite strong artifact ramp, it can struggle if its acceleration pieces are removed. The deck also has limited card draw options, relying heavily on artifacts for card advantage.

Most Important Cards:

1. Mana Vault
2. Sol Ring
3. Smothering Tithe
4. Land Tax
5. Urza's Incubator
6. Giada, Font of Hope
7. Teferi's Protection
8. Akroma's Will
9. The One Ring
10. Pearl Medallion

Attribute Ratings:

• Speed: 6/10
• Resilience: 8/10
• Consistency: 7/10
• Interaction: 7/10

Rating Justification:

This deck sits in the 6.5-7.0 range due to its efficient artifact ramp package, strong protection suite, and ability to establish a commanding board presence around turns 6-7. While it lacks the explosive speed of higher-powered decks, it makes up for it with resilience and consistent threat deployment. The inclusion of premium interaction and board wipes, along with the ability to protect its board state, puts it above casual builds but below truly competitive decks.

Final power level rating: 6.5 - 7.0

The deck is too slow and vulnerable to interaction to compete with true cEDH decks (8.0+) but is significantly more optimized than typical casual builds (5.0-6.0). The combination of premium removal, strong mana acceleration, and powerful finishers places it firmly in the focused competitive range.
