I like the lifegain in your deck, but I think it still needs a Serra Ascendant for that time when you cast her turn 1. I'd maybe cut a pridemate or Armored Ascension for her. Also, since you run only 7 artifacts, I believe that the Indomitable Archangel for, say, a Baneslayer Angel; Heliod, God of the Sun; or Evangel of Heliod if you are going with a token strategy. Also, for the token strategy, Increasing Devotion is a fair way to get 15 1/1 tokens into play with one spell. That's threatening 45 damage with Elesh Norn. Another thing that I see is that waylay is only a combat trick that can trade with a ground attacker for 3 mana. I feel like a sol ring or oust would be better suited for that slot. I'm sure it can still be tuned more, but it seems fun to play and still effective in multiplayer. Then again, I rarely play white in EDH. +1 from me.

definitely agree on the serra ascendant, can't believe i forgot about that. i'm gonna keep indomitable simply because i'm gonna try to squeeze an isochron scepter and maybe a few other things in here as far as artifacts go, they just haven't made it in yet, i'll use the slot from removing waylay to but in the sol ring. what would you suggest should come out for increasing devotion?
Mirrian Crusader really puts in the beats with either of your auras, as well as synergizes with sun titan but I feel that both can be cut in order to give you more options. Banisher priest could take the slot for a soft removal spell on a stick (though, I don't much like that option, as you can't sacrifice it in response to the ETB trigger). Also, I really like some of these ideas on this site. http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/commander-edh/198073-mono-white-combosOn that site, I quite like the Darien, King of Kjeldor + Soul Warden/Soul's Attendant/Auriok Champion/Suture Priest "soft lock" as all parts in the soft lock benefit both of your strategies. Now that I start looking, I see that there are a lot more things that one can do in mono white, so now it might not be my second least favourite colour to play (it might take third and switch places with blue, but I love my counterspells, too). Also, now that I'm looking at cards, celestial crusader can be awesome in this deck. Oh, your opponent plays blue and you want to cast felidar sovereign. Are those islands untapped? No worries; just say you maintain priority, t then cast the Felidar Sovereign, then cast Celestial Crusader on the stack. Now the Sovereign can't be countered. Sadly, that'll probably never come up, and if it does, hope that it doesn't die.
So what would you say if i drop the mirran crusader for darien, the armored ascension for isochron scepter and the celestial mantle for a mycosynth lattice (everything has shroud w/ indomitable archangel)could also throw in a darksteel forge, my issue would be that i lack tutors, but then that's whites' weakness
I would say it sounds like a (P+L)(A+N). Just hope that your plan isn't foiled when you don't get your pieces together *insert pun about piece-wise functions, or integration by parts, i.e. pieces, here*. Enlightened tutor should help a little bit with that. The only problem I see is that you don't have enough isochron scepter targets for it to get maximum utility; for a long time, it'll probably sit, inactive, in your hand or on the field. I think going a token swarm and soul sisters route might just be a bit better, or at least be a faster, more reliable strategy. Anyhow, if you continue trying out your isochron scepter + (insert removal spell here) and mycosynth lattice + indomitable archangel synergies and find something that works, then your brewing might have produced a new archetype that could work very well and inspire other peoples' decks; if it's a failure, then at least you know what doesn't work and you learned from it anyhow. (Now I'm sounding like my chemistry professor). Even if it's not all that likely, I would enjoy seeing a Serra Ascendant (say, you're at 30 life) enchanted with Celestial Mantle and a Rhox Faithmender in play. Attack with a 9/9 lifelink, go to 48 then triple that (since doubling your life total counts as gaining life) to 104 life. With a Mirrian Crusader instead, that'd be 270 life (30 tripled, then tripled again). I'm not sure if you knew that, but I just looked up rulings for Celestial Mantle and I thought that was cute. Again, not likely, but completely hilarious if you pull it off.
heh, math pun enjoyed, i realize isochron will do some sitting, but since it creates a really nasty lock if i get it with silence, swords, or path i think it'll be worth having it in therealso agreed on the bit about the lattice, my main worry if it actually goes off will be things like vandalblast in addition to normal nukes but such is life in edh loli actually do have a deck that does that last bit, just not with serra ascendant, (it was a little more expensive than i'd like to do a four-of)
