Deck Description

I recently got my hands on the lovely Terese Nielsen versions of Akroma and wanted to make a deck that used both. I'm a sucker for theme decks and decided I wanted everything to be:
a) About either Angels, Faith, or Fire
b) GEEEEERLS

How to Play

Strategy: GET YOUR SEXY ANGELIC BABES OUT! The issue with this is that red/white lacks efficient mana ramp to arrive at their huge costs in a timely fashion. Thus your gameplan is to use a combination of minor life gain and direct damage to try and slow down your opponent by zapping serious early threats and trying not to leave yourself at too much of a disadvantage by the time the angels come into play. The plainswalkers are there primarily to distract your opponent for further slow-down in addition to being on-theme.

The signets and talismans are your ramp and should be played as soon as possible to close the gap towards your sexy destruction.

"Well of Lost Dreams" is a decent draw mechanic when combined with Pristine Talisman and the Soul Wardens. "Serene Steward" also makes use of these multiple life-gain instances albeit in a slightly more restrictive fashion. You have further lifegain from the helix's, serpah's sanctuary, and Firemane avengers. Jaya Ballard is there primarily for flavor, but if you get her out alongside a well of lost dreams she can get work done.

The sideboard is mostly on-theme stuff that didn't make the cut rather than things you really need. Although "War's Toll" deserves mention for shutting down control decks in a big way, and having it in your sideboard is a really good idea. Also incinerate offers a cheaper alternative to lightning helix to be a bit more budget-friendly.
