I'm new to the forum, and to EDH in general, so I thought I would take a crack on building my own deck, but I wanted something with a challenge, so I picked a mono-white angel deck. Since I'm new I'm looking for as much help as I can get with this. Here is my initial mock up, please let me know what should be here, what shouldn't, and anything else I may have missed. The basic idea is to use the artifacts to get a bunch of angels out early, and Reya Dawnbringer as well as other effects (such as Adarkar Valkyrie, Deathless Angel, etc) to keep them in play, with plenty of rest buttons if it starts to get hairy.
Please read the EDH Forum Rules. Specifically, decklists should not be posted in the main EDH forum. I've moved this to Multiplayer based on your card choices, but please let me know if it is actually intended for 1v1. Thanks.
(Welcome to the forums, by the way! I don't want to be too grumpy. :))
Cataclysm could be a really good sweeper in here, especially if you've got a Twilight Shepherd on-board or can play it same turn (the latter works with armageddon pretty well too).
The hard part is always the cuts. Probably some creatures as I don't think you'll need quite so many with this playstyle.
Warrior Angel is pretty sub-par for 6 mana.
I've never been much of a fan of O-stone.
And Coat of Arms as you probably won't have all that many angels onboard at one time.
Angelic Page is small and unneeded.
And I think protecting yourself (sweeps & prevention), ramping, getting a good board built is going to be more important than lifegain. So I'd probably cut Beacon and Chorus.
Platinum Angel is usually underwhelming
I'd either drop Ghost Quarter or replace it with Strip Mine.

Enlightened tutor is just a must. And Expedition Map to fetch whichever utility land is needed most.
Cataclysm could be a really good sweeper in here, especially if you've got a Twilight Shepherd on-board or can play it same turn (the latter works with armageddon pretty well too).
Solemn Simulacrum is always welcome.
I'd also look to fit in Swords to Plowshares.

I like the idea of Swords to Plowshares and some more mana artifacts, but not sure what else to cut. Any suggestions?
