Letme start off by saying I've never played real EDH before. I've toyed around a little with it on mws, but I've never played it with real cards. However I've planned to go to Madrid in a few weeks and am realistic enough about my chances to know I won't be making day 2. Not that I care, I want to go for the experience, but still I need a deck to play with after I get sick of Eternal Garden.
I was thinking about playing the Gerard deck in these forums, but since I collect Legendary cards I wanted to see if I could build myself a EDH deck. Now I know Mono White stompy isn't that hard to contruct, but the deck fits my playstyle, so I wentalong with it.

Since I lack deck building experience with EDH, I wanted to know if I was missing something. The main idea was that every creature must have flying and/or interact with flying. When I started out it had a more bird oriented theme with Soraya the Falconer (with errata so it affects birds instead of falcons) and Soulcatchers' Aerie, but when cutting the deck down to 99 cards, I almost cut all the birds over the angels. The only reason Aven Brigadier is still in the deck is because he doens't suck (too hard) on his own. As soon as I shell out the money to buy Elspeth, it'll get replaced.
Things to notice when helping me out:
- I don't want to spend a lot of money on this deck. Don't recommend me Moat or Elspeth, since I won't be buying them any time soon.
- I know Serra Angel isn't as good as it once was. I play it for nostalgic reasons. I cried when I cut Wall of Swords, no lie.
- I'll play this deck for fun. I know cards like Armageddon make the deck better, but I dislike mass land destruction in fun games.
Other than that, I am open to every suggestion.
Changes so far:
Crusade -->Honor of the Pure
