Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Most combos that involve Angels are dedicated to simply getting the Angels into play because they all seem to cost 17WWWWWWWWW. You can reanimate the Angels. You can break them out of Summoner's Egg. You can put them directly into play via Animal Magnetism. You can search up Cloudposts or the Urzatron. All of my decks today will have some element of cheating Angels into play. First up is… basic lands?

Oh, the mighty basic lands! This deck has its origins in the Copper-Leaf Angel + Planar Birth combo. If you sacrifice all your basic lands to permanently pump your Copper-Leaf Angel, Planar Birth can get them all back. 

But wait! There are other ways to abuse Planar Birth. Angels require a lot of mana, and Planar Birth can be bent into a huge midgame mana accelerator when paired with some friends. Imagine this: Play Scouting Trek to put 15 basic lands on top of your library. Sacrifice your Gamekeeper, dumping all those lands into your graveyard and flipping up (hopefully) a gigantic Angel that pops right into play. Then play Planar Birth to move those 15 lands from your graveyard into play. 

But wait! There are other ways to abuse Scouting Trek. Play it on turn 2 to stack six basic lands on top of your library. On turn 3, draw one of them, play it, and play Clear the Land to pop the remaining five directly from your library into play. By the time you get to turn 4, you can play any Angel you've got!
