MTG Salvation

This deck is being made because I opened a foil Gideon Jura at a draft and had to make a deck to put him in. This deck runs angels, and Akroma, as the main theme of the deck.



Any suggestions you have for any cards to add in or take out would be appreciated. There are some other cards I think would be good to add, but I don't know what I'd take out.

Thanks for your help in advance

Deck needs expedition map, post-haste!
Also missing emeria, the sky ruin, possibly one of the best reasons beside the general why somebody would want to go mono-w.
miren, the moaning well is a good bedfellow to Emeria + Akroma, rendering her immune to any removal that doesn't send her to the 'yard, while giving you life just for fun.
gift of estates, tithe, armillary sphere, and pilgrim's eye can all go in.
All of the above cards can replace basic lands if you like, as you only need three other lands for your hand to be keepable. I have a friend who runs as little as 16 basic lands in his deck... Sure his fetchers are often blanked because of it, but once you get to 20+ lands you don't really need more land

Another fun trick is rings of brighthearth, which can give you some extra card advantage depending on what you run: Cycling draws an extra card, fetches accelerate you, your utility lands do double-duty.

I have an actual Emeria in the deck right now, but I posted this list without looking at it. I know I have a lot of lands in it, and can cut some. I just didn't feel like searching for any more specific cards to put in it. Expedition Map seems like it could be good for fetching Emeria or something else I'd need in a pinch. Tithe and Miren will also go in for now. Looking at what I currently have together, there are some more cards I'd like to put in so I think they'll go in over some of the other land fetches for now. Updating lists.

Edit: Now I feel that I have too few lands. Anyone have suggestions on what would be best to remove to fix that?

Cards desperately needed in this deck.......

• Wrath of god
  
• Day of judgement
  
• Concerted effort
  
• Noble purpose
  
• Ivory mask
  
• Idylic tutor
  
• Serra sanctum
  
• Deathrender
  
• Quicksilver amulet
  
• Allay
  
• Emeria angel
  

That's just off the cuff.....ill get back to you......

Basic Wrath... forgot that one... Any suggestions on what to cut out for those cards though? I can see some of them being very useful, but I'm always terrible at cutting cards for my own deck.

Copper-Leaf Angel seems really narrow. I mean, I guess it's good to have when you cast a geddon effect, but any other time I would hate paying 5 for a 2/2.

Alright. I'll cut it for another land for now. Any other suggestions from anyone?
