KBK7101 on Glorious Angels

Hello and welcome back to the game! Commander is definitely the best format for the game these days (in my opinion, anyway) and Giada is one of the best commanders printed this past year. Great choice!
You can definitely tweak this deck to be a lot smoother, and none of my suggestions will be terribly expensive (which is a subjective term, I know).
Recommended cuts:
-
Archway Angel You don't have any Gates, so you don't get any benefit from her.
-
Goldenglow Moth Too low impact.
-
Valiant Veteran You have four (technically five because of the changeling Bloodline Pretender) Soldiers in the deck. A cool card, for sure, but doesn't have enough support here.
-
Unclaimed Territory and Unknown Shores These are much better for multicolor decks.
-
Join Forces and Righteousness Like the above cards, these are nice but they don't quite fit here. Join Forces is great in a deck like Anax and Cymede or Feather, the Redeemed!
Recommended additions:
- Bonders' Enclave and War Room to replace the two lands. These two cards can help mono white's card draw woes immensely. Other potential lands to look at are Cave of the Frost Dragon Windbrisk Heights and Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire.
Oblation and Swords to Plowshares for some more removal. Oblation can also be used on your stuff, either to protect it by shuffling it into the deck or just to draw some cards.
- Angels tend to lend themselves really well into lifegain themes. I see you already have Resplendent Angel in here (which is great! I love that card!) so why not take a look at Righteous Valkyrie and/or Angelic Accord/Valkyrie Harbinger? Both are great on their own and can turn games around when working together.
I have a Rule 0 commander deck featuring Serra the Benevolent as commander. While not exactly the same, it can be pretty close to what Giada wants to do.(Rule 0 meaning "Hey guys, would it be okay if I bend the rules and play this? If not, it's cool. I'll use Lyra Dawnbringer instead.") Here's the link if you would like to check it out for some other ideas/inspirations.
(RULE 0) Serra the Benevolent - Song of All (v1.4)
On a similar note, the user Guerric has a fantastic Giada deck on here that I'm pretty sure is the highest rated one. His deck would probably offer much better advice/insight than mind could. His deck is below. (Hope you don't mind me putting you on the spot like this!)

9-lives on Urzatron and Filter lands vs …
1 year ago
I'm wondering if Lotus Field combo works better or worse than using Urzatron with filter lands? Here's my manabase with Urzatron:
- 2x Cascading Cataracts
- 2x Painted Bluffs
- 4x Shimmering Grotto
- 4x Unknown Shores
- 4x Urza's Mine
- 4x Urza's Power Plant
- 4x Urza's Tower
- 4x Expedition Map
28 cards total
Here's the minimum manabase and cards to make Lotus Fields work:
- 6x Forest
- 4x Island
- 4x Lotus Field
- 2x Temple of Mystery
- 4x Thespian's Stage
- 4x Yavimaya Coast
- 4x Hidden Strings
- 4x Sylvan Scrying
- 4x Vizier of Tumbling Sands
36 cards total
Also, I can use filter lands themselves to make more colored mana. Urzatron with filter is even better. Lotus Fields requires that they are untapped artificially, which seems to giv the urzatron an advantage.

Cool deck, would love to see it in action! There are better filter lands than Unknown Shores. Cave of Temptation and Crystal Grotto both offer more than just filtering and these small things can make a difference sometimes.

Why are all of your lands only able to produce colorless mana? If you're only making colored mana via Unknown Shores and friends, you're basically paying double the mana cost, and you can't play Arboreal Grazer on turn 1. Moreover, you're spending 8 slots on Chromatic Lantern/Dryad of the Ilysian Groves just to make your deck FUNCTION, which you could do naturally with a better land base. Most of your big splashy wincons can't be accelerated by Jegantha at all (if Jodah's not out), since they're completely colorless in cost, and other things like Medomai the Ageless or Springmantle Cleric or Chamber Sentry are very disappointing payoffs. Also, Chromanticore can't be cast for its bestow cost off of Jodah, I'm not sure if you know that. Perhaps Zacama, Primal Calamity over one of them?
I'd start by revamping your mana base, and adding at least a bunch of Forests. I'd rather run multiple copies of a good payoff, rather than one copy each of a bunch of bad ones. I'd run more interaction to protect Jodah, such as a full 4 Heroic Interventions and perhaps Lazotep Plating. Finally, I'd try to see if there's any good tutors that fit your color restrictions so that you can find Jodah more easily, since it seems like this deck won't work at all without him.
Hope this helps!

Hey, you're welcome, good update :)
Arcane Signet has been reprinted in Commander Legends, it could replace any one of the Diamonds or Mind Stone. Path of Ancestry is a good tribal land even though it always ETB tapped; the repeatable scry by casting a Pirate is worth it. Unclaimed Territory is another budget tribal land. These two lands could replace Shimmering Grotto and Unknown Shores.
If you're willing to spend a little more for lands than Training Center from Commander Legends and Riverglide Pathway Flip from Zendikar Rising are more Izzet lands. They could replace Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds.
