Luminarch Ascension

Just want to see what you guys think of this Luminarch deck before I unleash it on my friends. I've kept it from them so I can surprise steamroll them.

Two cards you should play are

Karmic Justice (I absolutly hate that card but it's broken good in your deck)
Replenish

Cards all your opponents should play are

4xGaddock Teeg
4xPithing Needle/Phyrexian Revoker
maybe something to tutor that up like Worldly Tutor or Eladamri's Call

It doesn't seem like you can do anything about that, you can't kill creatures with your deck. You should at least play 4 wrath of god, and 4 swords to plowshares.

Your deck is far to focussed on trying to get some crazy far fetched combo's going instead of building up and controlling the board.

My main deck is an all-white variation on the same idea:

like Seth mentioned, you need better board control to allow you to get to a point where your angel token production is set-up.

some cards I find great for this:

Ghostly Prison slows down the tempo of aggro decks,
Aura of Silence does the same for artifact/enchant heavy decks.

you definitely need a full set of Oblivion Ring as it'll be your best answer to most thing that need removal.

splashing in green means you have have access to more than one enchantress, you should include at least one to help with your card advantage.

and finally, Flickering Ward is great on it's own but gets obscene when paired with any enchant based engine, even without a hand you can keep picking it up and recasting it to trigger your Thrones(or enchantress).
