acceleration is what you crave...

I have accually played a good Angel deck that Kix Oink

used:

1 Sol Ring
1 Grim Monolith/Mana Vault
1 Mox Diamond
4 Urza's Incubator....(definitely key here)
AEther Vial might help too....

What I like and What I don't like....

Stay with mono color here

I like

Platinum
Akroma
Exalted
Reya
Pristine
Blinding
a few Angels of Mercy
....where is Radiant???

I don't Like

Serra....yes she's a classic, but only the best of the best should be in here
Wayward
Lightning....three colors won't work here
Voices....4 for a 2/2 w/ pro ONE color isn't worth it....
Retribution...red...in a white deck....

Ok now

I also think that you should add an Enlightened Tutor......acts as a fifth Incubator<---(speeds up the deck tremendously)....and will find any acceleration you may need.

Well I think we need to cut our list of elite angel down here...

Creatures - 16

2x Exalted
2x Platinum
2x Akroma, Angel or Wrath
2x Reya, Dawnbringer
2x Radiant, Archangel
2x Pristine
2x Blinding
2x Angel of Mercy

Utility - 5

1 Enlightened Tutor
4 Breath of Life....always helpful
2 Lightning Greaves....attack faster...great w/ platinum
1 Whispersilk Cloak......w/ blinding angel = they can't ever attack again.....w/ platinum..duh

Mana Sources and Helpers - 36

1 Mox Diamond
1 Sol Ring
1 Grim Monolith/ Mana Vault
4 Urza's Incubator
2 AEther Vial
20 Plains
2 Kor Haven

Try That....

or....If you really want to be rude.....somehow incorperate

4x Arrest
4x Pacifism

keeps the creatures at bay and makes sure the angels swing away.

Cryptic gateway would help you drop multicolored and more expensive angels.

Oh yeah....I used to play against a deck that ran those....tapping two angels is better than paying six mana....

theoretically you could play two angels for six mana if you already had one in play.....that's three total.

Where's Rkoelsch when you need an angel decklist...

(Tabasco provided another one though...)

Gosh train, this just went up today.

I disagree with tabasco. Lightning angel is some good and Iridescent Angel isn't bad either. My angel deck is actually 4 color(all but green). Now you have to realize I like highlander decks for casual play. The deck just doesn't get old that way.

Yes moxes would be better than diamonds but I don't have any.
Dual lands would be nice but again no gots. Reya really needs to be here but I traded all of mine away. Silly goof.
Good Luck
