Deck discussion for EDH - Avacyn, Angel of Hope

IMO Kor Haven is worth a slot here. You can afford the colorless mana.

I guess it's probably meta dependent but I personally would run Revoke Existence or Fate Forgotten over Disenchant. I reject the notion that your Theros God or Darksteel Plate or Blightsteel Colossus should be immune to my removal, and I reject the notion that once I remove something you should be able to get it back from your graveyard.

IMO Urza's Incubator is a trap. Given the high cmc of your angels and the fact that even with Avacyn you only have 10 total in your deck you're probably rarely ever going to cast two a turn, which means that absolute best case it saves you 2 mana per turn, and there's going to be a lot of turns it doesn't do anything. Plus it affects ALL creatures of that type, so there are times it will help other people. On the other hand Pearl Medallion is going to affect 44 spells, quite often multiple ones per turn, but at least probably 1 every turn. Or just run a mana rock like Worn Powerstone. Regardless, Urza's Incubator is almost always the worst option.

Nykthos is going to tap for 5+ mana often enough in this deck that I think it's worth running Expedition Map to fetch it.

Not a big deal but since you have no regeneration Wrath of God is technically better than Day of Judgement at the same CMC.

Condemn was amazing when it could tuck a commander, but now that it can't I don't think I'd run it over something like Crib Swap. There's just too many omg-need-to-remove-this-now cards that will never attack for you to Condemn (Consecrated Sphinx, Jin-Gitaxis, Sheoldred, Terestodon about to get blinked a few times, Prophet of Kruphix, the list goes on and on).

I think mono-white needs draw enough to run Mind's Eye.

Not sure what I'd pull for either, but Mass Calcify and Crackdown would generate good value here.

Thanks. I didn't include kor haven and mind's eye because i don't have them, but they're definitely on my wish list. Your suggestions are pretty on-point though
