Give me your best Card suggestions to make monowhite angel tribal with new bruna at the helm competitive!
I put together a deck with a bunch of angels, some removal spells, a few enchantments that let me take my stuff back when our Lazav player swipes them, but the deck is overall somewhat slow. The angels are scary, and my opponents hesitate to attack, which is great! Problem is, most of our group doesn't win from turning cards sideways. One guy either wins by milling with Lazav or by plinking at us with Purphoros. Another guy just infinite combos with Sharuum or Animar. What are some good white cards to get through their defenses and beat them down with creatures before they can use their strategies to kills us without getting to do anything?

[[Land Tax]] [[Austere Command]] [[Emeria, The Sky Ruin]] [[Knight of the White Orchid]] [[Weathered Wayfarer]]
It'd be helpful to have a decklist so I'm not suggesting things you already have but that is the start to a ramp package in white to speed things up. Also Emeria is just value.
For aggro - [[Luminarch Ascension]] is bonkers in a 4 player pod, be warned it also paints a huge target on your head.
I have a mono-white [[Mikaeus, the Lunarch]] deck that goes soldiers/angels and is very fast and able to nuke combo players down pretty quickly while gaining a bunch of life.
[[True Conviction]] is amazing as is [[Hero of Bladehold]]
If you're being milled out I would throw in one of the OG titans or both (it would also fit with your Brisela commander thing going on).
Purphoros is easily dealt with by True Conviction or other lifelinkers ( [[Serra Ascendant]] is bonkers in anything running white and gives you early life link/aggression)
Anyways that is my 2c - deck list would be super helpful though.

These are great suggestions! I have (a proxy of, anyway) Emeria, the Sky Ruin in my deck so far (one of the guys has one to give me), but none of these other cards, so I will look into them!
