This is the first deck I am actually trying to make. Any advice and sugestions are welcome, I am new to this and do not really know what I am doing.

With Sunblast Angel and both Gideon's Lawkeeper and Avenger you have the making for a good tap deck. I'd suggest Due Respect and Fulgent Distraction to help keep them tapped all the while adding counters to Gideon's Avenger. But like Grim said having a main mechanic to the deck is the first step.
Ohh, thanks Khiraden, I will defently look into shifting some cards around for that. Does Due Respect actually add counters to Gideon's Avengers? Not sure if coming into play tap'd would count.
I'm not 100% sure myself but the card isn't say anything specific just "Whenever a Creature an Opponent controls becomes tapped, put a +1/+1 counter on Gideon's Avenger." If it enters tapped then well it's tapped in my opinion. I admit to being a noob myself I've only just started to build decks myself. However Due Respect could also be used with Sunblast Angel to clear your opponent's battlefield. Tapping cards are fresh in my mind because I spent the better part of a night constructing on own black and white Assassin's deck. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=217422
"Becomes" tapped is the key word here, I think. If something enters the battlefield tapped, it does not go through the process of being untapped to being tapped, therefore, Avenger's ability will not apply. I am not a rules-expert, but from the things I do know, it does not interact. Fulgent Distraction, on the other hand, will have that effect perfectly!
I agree, some direction is needed so I believe that is OUR job. It seems as if you're trying to build up a white hoard deck with cards like the zenith and hero of bladehold. so you might try out other "army-in-a-box" cards such as shrine of loyal legions, or the new timely reinforcements. While I'm on that, you should definitely try to get your hands on a few planeswalkers, namely Gideon Jura and Elspeth Tirel. You can bump the other two Gideon cards (avenger and Lawkeeper) up to 3 or 4 and replace the two angels you do have with Baneslayer Angel. Also one card that may interest you is Honor of the Pure. It gives all white creatures +1/+1. And Sun Titan can win a game if you can get him out. Hope this helps, but more importantly I hope you enjoy this game and don't get too caught up in playing to win.
When I was making the deck, I did so without any Planewalkers, due to the fact that I have no idea how hard they would be to get a hold of, or how much they would cost, but I will look into them. Timely Reinforcements does look like it would be handy against those decks ment to pump out a lot of creatures at once, will look at getting some, it was not in my list due since I was hoping to be able to keep the enemy's character count low.
I am not sure what I would want to do with the deck, I'm not exactly positive what can be done, and what works. When I started it, I was thinking about a deck that boosted itself, which is the reason for the battle cry creatures, Elesh, and the Avengers. I also wanted to keep my opponite from being able to just break through, so I thought the tap and exile cards would be helpful there. I do not know if this would be something that would work, but it sounded interesting and feasable in my head. ^.^
