Lots of Life Gain = Angel Army

This is the first deck I have ever made. Having little knowledge about cards was not helpful. But I noticed the Angelic Accord card and thought it would work great with the Bubbling cauldron trio. When you can set up, this deck overpowers everything.

Unfortunately there are a few issues with it, and it is still kind of under construction. It's easily taken over by aggro because of the lack of control or creatures, and if the creatures are stolen by control decks, setting up is impossible. I need some advice, but please remember that I can only afford cheaper cards.

This deck is modern for two cards - Vampire Nighthawk which I replaced Soldier of the Pantheon with (which really isn't a terrible card, vampire is just for more opposing creature control), and Luminous Wake. Just replace all those cards with the sideboard cards to make it a standard deck. Swords to Plowshares is a recent addition and hasn't really been tested (I haven't drawn it at all). This is also a really cheap deck besides the Swords to Plowshares card. This deck is really just for fun though, and it has a bit of trouble winning especially with a starting hand that doesn't have 1 plains, 1 swamp, a newt, and cauldron. Most of the times I have won with it, I needed Merciless eviction to clear their creatures or enchantments out. If you have ANY tips on how I can control opposing creatures better with the deck, I'm all ears.

Anglic Accord is really the win condition for the deck, although you dont need it. To activate Angelic accord, you need to gain 4 or more life during that turn, and before the end step you get a 4/4 flying Angel token. I have a lot of ways to get the 4 life in my deck.

You can either put gift of immortality on a newt and sacrifice it every turn (you gain 4, they lose 4, target creature gets -1/-1), or put luminous wake on a ram and have it take hits from any creature under 5 toughness to get 4 life. Luminous wake or gift of immortality can really be used on any of the creatures to your advantage. Having two cauldrons and an immortal newt is a game winner alone, because you can sacrifice it on each player's turn - that's 8 health for you and -8 health for them. Having one or more angelic accords out is really tough for them to deal with. Orzhov Charm is useful in rescuing your newt, saving your cards with auras on them from being destroyed, or can take out bothersome creatures if you have a good amount of life to throw away.
