Dominaria brought us Shalai, Voice of Plenty and Lyra Dawnbringer, two very powerful additions to the angel tribal decks. I thought maybe this could make viable a legacy Stompy/Prision style list, much alike the Soldier Stompy deck. I ended up with something like this:
Moat is really strong in this deck, and maybe even the new Urza's ruinous blast could take a slot in the 75. It surely needs some tuning and playtesting but i think some form of the deck could surely have some success.
Basically any angel stompy list is going to be viable, because all stompy lists are viable to some extent. Obviously Angel stompy has a plethora of big angels, and few small ones, nor a ringleader/enlistment officer effect.
Angel used to be the big kill critter type in some stax lists.
Two obvious points- lotus petal is terrible with trinisphere (or enemy chalice set to zero, which can be a decent play - you may even set it to zero yourself against various storm decks game 1- t2 drop chalice on 1, chalice on zero). E Spirit Guides would work better as you won't be short of white (E being better than their red Simian cousin due to one shot activation of Shalai.
O ring should be split with similar effects too avoid echoing truth.
Speaking of storm, your game two won't actually be that good with just chalice, s field and 3 sphere- hurkyls can get them out of 3 sphere/COTV easily without you having hexproof down, and they can always go off turn 1 about 5% of the time, and turn 2 more often. Soldier stompy gets Thalias of both varieties to disrupt early on (e.g. playing Thalia t2 after chalice on zero can give two hate pieces, followed by a t3 big thalia/chalice on 1/s field, you are hoping for Shalai over Thalia and it is that much later. One of the stregths of stompy is the storm game is strong, it would not take much to your board to include canonist or rule of law effects. It is a shame there are few disrupting angels in the early slots.
Moat is strong vs Elves, Merfolk, D N T, Maerick, (and even soldier stompy) infect and burn, but Elves will kill it with Rec sage pretty quickly and infect will counter it. It does not hit depths, belcher, lands, reanimators, sneak/omnitell, enchantress and only partially hits grixis and pile. I play a fair few decks with moat and it is fine, but not amazing.
Angel of jubilation is much stronger in legacy than modern, I would play another- hurting fetches is super strong.
