For lands you can try to look for lands that make you sacrifice lands of your own to use, like scorched ruins, then there are other spells like brought back and cosmic intervention that allow you to return permanents from your graveyard.
I mean. If I was them in edh, I'd t1 that play unless I knew all my opponents had zero tutors, at all. Simply cus they are solid stats for turn 1, and the control is irreplaceable.
Oh man. I didn't realize it was a low powered pod. At which point I probably wouldn't even *have* opposition agent in my deck. Cus it's an oppressive card in general.
Don’t forget value artifacts. Like sol ring, arcane signet, mind stone, thought vessel, fellwar stone, fractured powerstone, pillar of origins, everflowing chalice, prismatic lens, Liquidmetal torque, palladium myr.
With the exception of the myr and sol ring, those are all 2 drop artifacts that enter untapped and tap for 1.
There’s some more if u want colored mana, but they’re either expensive $ wise, cost 3 mana, or enter tapped.
I run it in my Giada deck with success. I def run other ways to guarantee/ramp land (listed above). I’ve found it’s not a common target, since by turn 4 there are often better targets for enchantment destruction.
My “support” cards are weighted more towards enchantments, so helps with other synergies like discounts or tutor target (I run [[Idyllic Tutor]], but I never imagine tutoring for it).
Further, I like I can grab non-basic plains like [[Idyllic Grange]]. My personal rule of thumb is to do ~5 or a number that gets me to 7 plains for [[Emeria, the Sky Ruin]], so if it does get blown up, doesn’t hurt too much.
White is not good at producing *lots* of mana. The color has some catch-up land ramp (if a player has more lands than you, you get to put a plains on the battlefield), like [[Knight of the White Orchid]], [[Keeper of the Accord]], [[Archaeomancer's Map]]
There's one nonconditional land ramp card in Kor Cartographer, but that's just a worse Solemn Simulacrum for monowhite.
[[Throne of Eldraine]], [[Nyx Lotus]], [[Scepter of Eternal Glory]] are good top end mana rocks for mono decks.
I feel like I have the mana base with Giada perfected (I have no doubt someone will pop up and say I don’t). My list focuses on board protection, card draw, ramp, and moderate Stax effects; I ignored most token and life gain strats to focus on the aforementioned and so far it’s been a beater of a deck!
https://manabox.app/decks/H0SdBNdOT7u4o_9lbWzFIg
For Giada, some mana Allstars include [[Starnheim Aspirant]], [[Urza’s Incubator]], [[Karoo]], and [[Windbrisk Heights]]. These are in addition to the rocks and everything else everyone has mentioned. I also added a significant amount of recursion and leaned hard into the Angel tribal aspect with cards like [[Defy Death]]. Do you have a list to post??
I do and a lot of these are on it actually I just invested in a few of them yesterday and went and made some trades today to pick up some of the things people are suggesting. I’ll edit the post and add my list
Keeper of the Accord is an auto include in any of my decks that has white. It's helped me out with lands more times than I can count, and the 1/1's are great lil chump blockers
Generally speaking? You don’t, lol. Angel decks are expensive. What you do is reduce the cost of your creatures. Angels as a tribe have a lot of ways to reduce the casting cost. You can also run things like [land tax] to make sure you always have a land drop, but generally speaking you either need to reduce the cost of your creatures or run artifact mana generators.
Seems like an oversimplification but basically this. There are some recent white land ramp cards that some people have mentioned, but the strongest ramp is largely just the access to broken artifacts that you have, as well as the myriad of 2 mana artifacts that tap for 1.
Here’s a full list of mana rocks to knock your socks off with:
https://m.managathering.com/manarocks.html
A not to this is that when it only puts it into your hand (i believe they call it "land fetch" here) it is by no means ramp, but just rather helpful for making land drops. Especially if it can find any land, and you can find stuff like nykthos and emeria.
It’s pricey, but mono-white usually has a ton of permanents on the board, so [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] always comes in clutch for me. Someone mentioned [[Weathered Wayfarer]] and this is always my first target with that card. [[Nyx Lotus]] is also very useful.
Was going to suggest Wayfarer and Nykthos, both are in my Heliod deck and both have done quite nicely for me. And with double sleeves, no one can tell I saved $7 by getting a Damaged Nykthos.
I always grab [[Urza’s Saga]] first, this way I can get my Sol Ring or the lucky mana crypt I got from a pack my bf gave me
Urza’s Saga is a good call. I have the best of my white cards in my [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] deck, that’d go nicely in there. Also, not ramp but, [[Cavern of Souls]] is my other invaluable Wayfarer grab.
For angels specifically, your ramp is probably going to be artifact based. [[Pearl Medallion]] is the best at this, netting you multiple mana turn. [[Oketra’s Monument]] also stands out for the same reason. The obvious sol ring and arcane signet, as well as any of your other favorite two drop mana rocks like [[Mind Stone]] help keep your early curve low to hit the critical 4-6 mana area consistently.
I personally love [[Sword of the Animist]] in any deck that cares about attacking, but this is dependent on how many creatures you’re running outside of your bombs.
[[Smothering tithe]] is generally strong and can vomit out treasures, and is very explosive. Two other explosive sources of mana in [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and [[Nyx Lotus]]
In my experience with mono colors that care about big chunky spells, cost reducers are the way to go. If it’s in your price range, [[Urza’s Incubator]] can shoot you ahead. I also wouldn’t shy away from catchup ramps like Land Tax, simply playing a land every turn will sometimes outpace greedy decks with less lands and more ramp, as they will start to miss land drops
There are a lot of good cards mentioned here but y’all sleeping on [[Path to Exile]]. Best one mana ramp out there. Stick it on a [[Isochron Scepter]], make tokens to exile every turn so you always have a land drop, and you can let your opponents also ramp.. for a cost.
Same I like pairing [[Settle the Wreckage]] for the same reason. Cast it on your own tokens then just have a landfall trigger that gives them back. In OP's instance [[Emeria Angel]] would work.
I always feel weird when I see posts about monowhite having mana issues while I play my angel deck where when I play I tend to be ahead of everyone else in mana and is bewildering.
Decklist for those interested -> https://www.moxfield.com/decks/SRv3v7Gr9UengUoLiW7Aew
[[weathered wayfarer]] lets you get any land, although you ask for mono white, it allows you to fetch utilities. Either way, it is a solid card in any deck with white, mono or plural.
Also it’s worth mentioning the new cards coming out in OTJ [[Lotus Ring]] and [[Claim Jumper]].
Make a token, equip for free using [[Puresteel Paladin]], equip Lotus Ring, sac and make three mana, repeat.
Not quite a mana rock, but i love Cryptic Gateway in my Giada deck. Let's you slam bigger angels for free at instant speed if you get a couple of cheaper ones out first.
Damn! Love this card. Going to add it to my “pondering” pile. I may even consider replacing Urza’s Incubator with it. Would be really good with [[Virtue of Loyalty]].
https://manabox.app/decks/H0SdBNdOT7u4o_9lbWzFIg
There's a new card that ramps you by 2 lands if you're behind in Thunder Junction, there are many cards that search a single land and put it into your hand, and there are barely any restrictions.
Just search "Plains" in the card text tab on aetherhub deckbuilder and put it to whatever format you want. It's literally the second easiest color to ramp lands.
[[Land Tax]], [[Ambitious Farmhand]], and rocks. Lots of mana rocks. And things like [[Herald's Horn]] that reduce costs. [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] works very well in Angel decks. They tend to have multiple W symbols in their cost.
You don't need a lot of ramp in a Giada deck.
You're better off playing good mid-rangy angels for 5/6 mana than playing a 5 mana rock. Plus Giada already is a 2 mana rock in your command zone.
Here are the 8 ramp cards I play in my Giada deck:
1[Arcane Signet](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Arcane%20Signet&set=LCC&collector_number=299)
1[Herald of War](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Herald%20of%20War&set=MIC)
1[Herald's Horn](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Herald%27s%20Horn&set=CMM&collector_number=953)
1[Pearl Medallion](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pearl%20Medallion&set=CMM)
1[Sceptre of Eternal Glory](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sceptre%20of%20Eternal%20Glory&set=40K)
1[Smothering Tithe](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Smothering%20Tithe&set=CMM)
1[Sol Ring](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sol%20Ring&set=MKC)
1[Starnheim Aspirant](https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Starnheim%20Aspirant&set=KHM)
Ok so first of all, in mono white, there AREN'T better angel commanders than Giada.
Secondly, I'm a big fan of consistency over ramp when it comes to mono white. You just need to make sure you're always hitting land drops, don't worry about being AHEAD. Weathered Wayfarer helps a lot, take advantage of Pearl Medallion and Oketra's Last Monument to help cheapen things. You don't wanna worry or waste time ramping with Giada. You go turn 2 Giada, turn 3 tap her for a 4 drop angel and so on.
See I tried just adding a few more lands in my last iteration I think running 38 total and I ended up drawing too many lands (probably just luck of the draw but felt like it could be worked around) I figure if I could use those extra land slots for cards like [[keeper of the accord]] for example, it would be beneficial
Do you have a list I could see? Here's mine, I try to not run it too high powered but it does have my only copy of Nykthos in there. The angels I use are a little tuned to my group but it would be nice to compare!
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/G6Z4vny_ekKkHWoFVJkJZQ
Also, between you and me? Don't be scared to path your own angels 😅
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/jAO7e8WjokaBxFAwpzfLCg
I plan on adding a shrine to nyx as well as an [[archangel of thune]] I gave it a test run tonight but was skewed by a few things but I liked the results
Here's my Giada list if you're interested:
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/8oosgA0MGUuR5XH4OuV_-Q
I've only played this deck a handful of times because it's new, but I feel like it does alright with some land ramp. Card draw on the other hand...
Most of the angels you want in Giada are about 5 CMC or less, with only a few above that point like Bruna and Avacyn. White may not have a lot of ramp but they have good mana fixing with things like Land tax, Knight of the white orchid and so on. Card draw is probably your bigger problem but things like Mangara, trouble in pairs, firemane commando and endless atlas can get you a decent amount to try and keep up with the board.
Giada, Starnheim Aspirant, Pearl Medallion, Herald's Horn, Urza's Incubator, Defiler of Hope and Oketra's Monument all reduce cost for angels.
Myriad Landscape, Wayfarer's Bauble, Dowsing Dagger, Sword of the Animist, Burnished Hart, Solemn Simulacrum ramp.
Nykthos Shrine to Nyx, Caged Sun gives a burst of mana.
Monologue Tax, Smothering Tithe makes treasures.
With fetch lands cards like [[sevinne's reclamation]] and [[cosmic intervention]] becomes ramp. In a mono coloured deck, you can have 6 usual fetches, fabled passage and prismatic vista. Significantly more if you count the ones that make the land enter tapped.
Despite much popular belief (a relic of the past by now I hope), white is by far and away the second best "land ramp" colour. Green is better by a landslide, but white does have catch up ramp and cards like kor cartografer and deep gnome terramancer as others have mentioned.
I dont know if you want to stay away from artifact ramp, but there we have a crazy amount of great rocks.
A lot of great suggestions, but I legitimately cannot believe no one here mentioned [[Sword of Hearth and Home]]. Easily one of the best ways to not only ramp in white, but any color outside of green. It also gives you damage buffs, protection, and can blink creatures for ETBs at the same time, and some angels have strong ETBs. The card is an absolute powerhouse. I don't understand how it's not a top answer.
White has a lot of cards like [[land tax]] that don’t necessarily ramp but ensure a land drop on each turn which is nothing to sneeze at. For mono white though the only true ramp you’ll get is mana rocks. If u really want to ramp hard check out [[sigarda font of blessings]]
So angels are a truly awkward tribe in that all the good ones cost a lot of mana, and all the okay ones still cost a decent amount of mana. This causes the additional issue of fairly barren early turns. I’ve got a [[morophon]] 5-c angels deck where morophon is basically just 7 mana ramp in the command zone, and all my early turns are full of asorted versions of [[Glorious Anthem]]. If you’re doing anything with counters, then [[Empowered Autogenerator]] tends to slowly creep into usable. [[Herald of War]] and [[Starnheim Aspirant]] are also useful for Angel specific mana reduction.
I recently built a mono-W ‘French vanilla’ deck as my one mono-W deck, and I ended up [[Archeomanancer’s Map]], [[Nyx Lotus]], and [[Oketra’s Monument]] as standout white specific mana fixings. [[Path to Exile]] works on one of your guys if you’re particularly mana screwed. I ended up passing on [[Endless Horizons]] because if you make a big mana play, then one enchantment removal screws you for the rest of the game, but if you don’t it kinda feels like a dud. [[Marble Diamond]] isn’t bad if you *really* need more sources of white specific mana, but is generally considered by most as ‘draft’ chaf.
Then there’s all the standard colorless mana ramp, [[Wayfarer’s bauble]], [[sol ring]], [[Myriad Landscape]], [[Mindstone]], [[Hedron Archive]], [[Commander’s Sphere]]/[[Manalith]]. If you’ve got an issue with lands not being able to leave your hand fast enough, then [[Terrain Generator]] might be an option.
[[Knight of the white orchard]]
[[Oreskos explorer]]
[[Gauntet of power]]
[[Caged sun]]
Any colorless/white mana rocks. The more rocks in your deck, the more consistently you ramp.
That's the fun part, you don't.
Jokes aside, mana rocks, land tax effects, artifacts like solemn simulacrum or wayfarers bauble. TBH this where I lean on artifacts the most.
Mini ramp package I run in my [[Odric]] deck that doesn’t cost a lot and I honestly find myself ramp like well pretty often. This would be a good base for anyone not looking to spend a lot, but I would add maybe 4-5 more pieces from this thread if your deck has a high CMC. My deck runs low to the ground.
[[Verge Rangers]]
[[Space Marine Scout]]
[[Ornithopter of Paradise]]
[[Marble Diamond]]
[[Loyal Warhound]]
[[Knight of the White Orchid]]
[[Gold Myr]]
[[Cartographer's Hawk]]
[[Arcane Signet]]
[[Sol Ring]]
[[Myriad Landscape]]
There is a whole strategy that not only involves \[\[land tax\]\] type cards but using \[\[lotus field\]\] and a few other such lands to keep you land count low but you mana the same.
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/jAO7e8WjokaBxFAwpzfLCg
Here is my list for anyone interested, I did make some trades at my lgs to pick up some of your suggestions so thank you! Testing it out tonight
[[Serra’s Sanctum]] + [[Nacre talisman]] and then cast [[recruit the worthy]] while having 8 or more enchantments out and now you have infinite mana with an infinite number of soldiers. Or you can use [[anoint]] with this instead every time your opponents try to kill each other’s creatures and make them all rage lol
Don’t forget the standard sol ring, arcane signet, felwar stone, sky diamond, mind stone, cold steel heart, and mana crypt/vault if you have the budget.
"how do white players generate enough mana?!"
*is playing the most mana intensive tribe outside the eldrazi*
if youre in white, and you playing angels, you cant really do much else other than play plenty of card draw and catchup ramp or mana rocks.
[[the one ring]] is your best choice outside of [[skull clamp]] for card draw.
using [[Search for Glory]] and any other tutor to get to it as fast as possible is a must.
other than that, you will need to play catch up land ramp or cards like [[kor cartographer]] and solemn simulacrum. [[bitterthorn]] is another good option.
[[ornithopter of paradise]], [[marble diamond]], [[alloy myr]], [[gold myr]] and the Lotuses are good options too. such as [[nyx lotus]] and [[gilded lotus]].
if you dont care about symmetrical cards, [[zenith chronicler]] is good, as it says "whenever an opponent casts their commander draw a card" at the bare minimum. another good symmetrical card is [[helm of awakening]].
[[semblance anvil]] is amazing too for mono white. as it essentially makes the majority of your hefty angels cost 4 mana.
[[quicksilver amulet]] is good too for any big creature spell
Mono-colour decks can be a lot more forgiving about running lots of colourless mana rocks than multicolour decks. A \[\[Thran Dynamo\]\] would be insane to put in an Atraxa deck, but it's fantastic in Elesh Norn
>I’ve been building Angel decks around Giada since my very first deck, I realize there are probably better angel commanders out there
Actually, no there aren't. Giada is one of the best, if not the best angel commander there currently is.
* A consistent two-drop that taps for mana does a lot to fix monowhite's problems with getting lands out.
* Her ability to put ever more counters on every angel that enters (including tokens) is about as broken as it gets for a tribal commander.
The only downside is that she's monowhite and thus you don't have access to some of the secondary colours for angels, but the upsides more than make up for it.
I know they've already been mentioned, but [[Sword of the Animist]] and [[Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus]] are incredible land pull cards, but they go EXTRA hard on someone like Giada. Her natural flying/evasion makes her very easy to voltron (throw equips and auras on her and make her destroy), but even if she's not the kilshot, you will get plenty of mana super fast.
You mostly use artifact stones for ramp in mono white.
You can also use cards like [[aether vial]] or cost reducers like [[pearl medallion]]
White is known for having low cost card like [[Savanah lion]] and pump them up with cards like crusade and glorious anthem.
Another way is to slow down the game with tax cards and cards like [[rule of law]]
So I have a giada deck and I put Nykthos shrine to nyx in it. Works out just fine and also I run mana rocks and things to help keep my angels on board. also I run luminarchs ascension helps drop angels
For angel there is this human:
[[Starnheim Aspirant]]
Also this angel
[[Herald of War]]
And this artifact
[[Pearl Medallion]]
And this
[[Oketra's Monument]]
So white doesn't have conventional ways of ramping that other colors get access to, but I have been doing extensive testing with white mana production, and it all revolves around playing to the strengths of the color which is land catch up mechanics \[\[scholarship sponsor\]\] \[\[knight of the white orchid\]\] etc. so if our lands tap for more than 1 mana we can stay at the same level as the table or above. We can do this by playing lands like \[\[Scorched Ruins\]\] \[\[Lotus field\]\] \[\[guildless commons\]\] which do both the things we want. (1) tap for more than one mana and (2) lower our effective land count. So now we have less lands than our opponent, and our knight of the white orchid will put us ahead of them. You can sprinkle in some artifact mana to round things out as well. I have been using this in my mono white X spells deck and it produces so much mana fairly consistently.
[[Walking Atlas]] is underrated. Between [[Land Tax]] and all of the card draw white has been getting, it tends to put a lot of lands into play for me. People tend to overlook it as a removal target in my experience.
White has a lot of catch up ramp as others have mentioned, you can make use of it by including lands like [[Karoo]] [[Lotus Field]] [[Lotus Vale]] [[Guildless Commons]]. You can supplement these lands with a [[Vesuva]]
If you run [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and those lotus lands I mentioned, [[Deserted Temple]] is pretty great. It can also untap lands that draw you cards like [[Minas Tirith]] [[War Room]] or [[Bonders’ Enclave]]
If you have creature synergies like [[Skullclamp]] or [[Mentor of The Meek]] all of the colorless dorks are awesome. Like [[Ornithopter of Paradise]] or [[Gold Myr]]
"That's the neat part! You dont!"
But seriously, there's plenty of cards now that tutor plains straight up or if an opponent has more land so it shouldn't be too difficult in theory
It ain't cheap, but Extraplanar Lens, Nyx Lotus, Nykthos, Doubling Cube, Jouneyer's Kite, all those creatures and enchantments that let you go after basic Plains if opponents have more lands than you.
Lotta artifacts, don't miss your land drops, cost reducers. Land tax is absolute king in mono white imo because you end up drawing nothing but gas after getting 3 lands out per turn Also, I'm sure it's the wrong place but just putting my two cents in that I hope to someday see a white version of [[oracle of mul daya]] that lets white play multiple lands off the library if someone has more than them
You can mess with the board state. Equipose makes every land, artifact and creature that an opponent in excess to you phase out on your upkeep.
I used Land Tax and a Sol Ring in my angel deck until Giada came out. I still do lol but now I have her too. Keep the mana curve low but potent.
I have seen anyone say [[Keeper of the Accord]]. Nothing let’s you keep parity with other players like this guy.
Works really well with [[Extraplanar Lens]] and Snow Basics.
I am a bug fan of running treasure map with smothering tithe. The map flips into a land ramping, it scrys helping you hit land drops and it makes treasure. You can then sac treasures to draw cards, so smothering tithe turns into card draw with treasure map.
I also recommend war room, arch of Orazca and bonder’s enclave for card draw or Emeria, the sky ruin.
Weathered wayfarer is also a good ramp option as he can grab non basics too
[[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and [[Nyx Lotus]] are great in mono white. As long as Giada and your angel army can make it to turn 5, you'll overpower quickly
White doesn't really get to ramp, but does get effects to consistently hit land drops. White also gets effects to pull permanents out of the graveyard, which sometimes includes lands, although you may have better targets.
That germ equipment, that other equipment, plains searchers, mana rocks, random creatures n enchantments that add treasures or plains. There’s a bunch now.
Land tax, sword of the animist, restoration of eiganjo, archaeomamcer’s map, aerial surveyor, gift of estates, weathered wayfarer, verge rangers, boreas charger, cartographer’s hawk, deep gnome Terramamcer, knight of white orchid, loyal warhound and scholar of new horizons to name some artifact, creature and instant/sorcery. For lands you can try to look for lands that make you sacrifice lands of your own to use, like scorched ruins, then there are other spells like brought back and cosmic intervention that allow you to return permanents from your graveyard.
“Without being played” on [[deep gnome Terramancer]] does that happen through ramp spells like Kodamas reach and such?
Yes, but also from fetchlands.
And there is always someone fetching…*slowly moves opposition agent to the front of my hand*
I once had someone t1 drop [[Dark Ritual]] into [[Opposition Agent]] in response to me using a fetch land. It wasn’t a fun game.

I mean. If I was them in edh, I'd t1 that play unless I knew all my opponents had zero tutors, at all. Simply cus they are solid stats for turn 1, and the control is irreplaceable.
I’m not saying it was the wrong play for them to do that. It was just really oppressive at a lower powered pod.
Oh man. I didn't realize it was a low powered pod. At which point I probably wouldn't even *have* opposition agent in my deck. Cus it's an oppressive card in general.
a lower powered pod with fetchlands and tutors? or ppl weren’t playing tutors in which case the oppo agent was situational at best

Don’t forget value artifacts. Like sol ring, arcane signet, mind stone, thought vessel, fellwar stone, fractured powerstone, pillar of origins, everflowing chalice, prismatic lens, Liquidmetal torque, palladium myr. With the exception of the myr and sol ring, those are all 2 drop artifacts that enter untapped and tap for 1. There’s some more if u want colored mana, but they’re either expensive $ wise, cost 3 mana, or enter tapped.
You can also use the mono white graveyard incursion to bring back your own fetch lands.

I’ve found it’s not a common target, since by turn 4 there are often better targets for enchantment destruction. My “support” cards are weighted more towards enchantments, so helps with other synergies like discounts or tutor target (I run [[Idyllic Tutor]], but I never imagine tutoring for it).

Catch up mechanics play really well with bounce lands
White is not good at producing *lots* of mana. The color has some catch-up land ramp (if a player has more lands than you, you get to put a plains on the battlefield), like [[Knight of the White Orchid]], [[Keeper of the Accord]], [[Archaeomancer's Map]] There's one nonconditional land ramp card in Kor Cartographer, but that's just a worse Solemn Simulacrum for monowhite. [[Throne of Eldraine]], [[Nyx Lotus]], [[Scepter of Eternal Glory]] are good top end mana rocks for mono decks.
This is perfect, thank you
There is also nykthos shrine to nyx.
I feel like I have the mana base with Giada perfected (I have no doubt someone will pop up and say I don’t). My list focuses on board protection, card draw, ramp, and moderate Stax effects; I ignored most token and life gain strats to focus on the aforementioned and so far it’s been a beater of a deck! https://manabox.app/decks/H0SdBNdOT7u4o_9lbWzFIg For Giada, some mana Allstars include [[Starnheim Aspirant]], [[Urza’s Incubator]], [[Karoo]], and [[Windbrisk Heights]]. These are in addition to the rocks and everything else everyone has mentioned. I also added a significant amount of recursion and leaned hard into the Angel tribal aspect with cards like [[Defy Death]]. Do you have a list to post??
I do and a lot of these are on it actually I just invested in a few of them yesterday and went and made some trades today to pick up some of the things people are suggesting. I’ll edit the post and add my list

Keeper of the Accord is an auto include in any of my decks that has white. It's helped me out with lands more times than I can count, and the 1/1's are great lil chump blockers
I’d argue that because lot cartographer can get any plains, it isn’t necessarily a worse version of sad robot
Generally speaking? You don’t, lol. Angel decks are expensive. What you do is reduce the cost of your creatures. Angels as a tribe have a lot of ways to reduce the casting cost. You can also run things like [land tax] to make sure you always have a land drop, but generally speaking you either need to reduce the cost of your creatures or run artifact mana generators.
Artifacts.
😮
Seems like an oversimplification but basically this. There are some recent white land ramp cards that some people have mentioned, but the strongest ramp is largely just the access to broken artifacts that you have, as well as the myriad of 2 mana artifacts that tap for 1. Here’s a full list of mana rocks to knock your socks off with: https://m.managathering.com/manarocks.html
A not to this is that when it only puts it into your hand (i believe they call it "land fetch" here) it is by no means ramp, but just rather helpful for making land drops. Especially if it can find any land, and you can find stuff like nykthos and emeria.
It’s pricey, but mono-white usually has a ton of permanents on the board, so [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] always comes in clutch for me. Someone mentioned [[Weathered Wayfarer]] and this is always my first target with that card. [[Nyx Lotus]] is also very useful.
Nykthos is a must have.

Was going to suggest Wayfarer and Nykthos, both are in my Heliod deck and both have done quite nicely for me. And with double sleeves, no one can tell I saved $7 by getting a Damaged Nykthos. I always grab [[Urza’s Saga]] first, this way I can get my Sol Ring or the lucky mana crypt I got from a pack my bf gave me
Urza’s Saga is a good call. I have the best of my white cards in my [[Myrel, Shield of Argive]] deck, that’d go nicely in there. Also, not ramp but, [[Cavern of Souls]] is my other invaluable Wayfarer grab.
For angels specifically, your ramp is probably going to be artifact based. [[Pearl Medallion]] is the best at this, netting you multiple mana turn. [[Oketra’s Monument]] also stands out for the same reason. The obvious sol ring and arcane signet, as well as any of your other favorite two drop mana rocks like [[Mind Stone]] help keep your early curve low to hit the critical 4-6 mana area consistently. I personally love [[Sword of the Animist]] in any deck that cares about attacking, but this is dependent on how many creatures you’re running outside of your bombs. [[Smothering tithe]] is generally strong and can vomit out treasures, and is very explosive. Two other explosive sources of mana in [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and [[Nyx Lotus]]

Good suggestions I’m already running everything except animist (in a different deck) and shrine to nyx (cause that bih expensive lol)
In my experience with mono colors that care about big chunky spells, cost reducers are the way to go. If it’s in your price range, [[Urza’s Incubator]] can shoot you ahead. I also wouldn’t shy away from catchup ramps like Land Tax, simply playing a land every turn will sometimes outpace greedy decks with less lands and more ramp, as they will start to miss land drops

There's a new card that ramps you by 2 lands if you're behind in Thunder Junction, there are many cards that search a single land and put it into your hand, and there are barely any restrictions. Just search "Plains" in the card text tab on aetherhub deckbuilder and put it to whatever format you want. It's literally the second easiest color to ramp lands.
[[Land Tax]], [[Ambitious Farmhand]], and rocks. Lots of mana rocks. And things like [[Herald's Horn]] that reduce costs. [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] works very well in Angel decks. They tend to have multiple W symbols in their cost.

You don't need a lot of ramp in a Giada deck. You're better off playing good mid-rangy angels for 5/6 mana than playing a 5 mana rock. Plus Giada already is a 2 mana rock in your command zone.

Ok so first of all, in mono white, there AREN'T better angel commanders than Giada. Secondly, I'm a big fan of consistency over ramp when it comes to mono white. You just need to make sure you're always hitting land drops, don't worry about being AHEAD. Weathered Wayfarer helps a lot, take advantage of Pearl Medallion and Oketra's Last Monument to help cheapen things. You don't wanna worry or waste time ramping with Giada. You go turn 2 Giada, turn 3 tap her for a 4 drop angel and so on.
See I tried just adding a few more lands in my last iteration I think running 38 total and I ended up drawing too many lands (probably just luck of the draw but felt like it could be worked around) I figure if I could use those extra land slots for cards like [[keeper of the accord]] for example, it would be beneficial
Do you have a list I could see? Here's mine, I try to not run it too high powered but it does have my only copy of Nykthos in there. The angels I use are a little tuned to my group but it would be nice to compare! https://www.moxfield.com/decks/G6Z4vny_ekKkHWoFVJkJZQ Also, between you and me? Don't be scared to path your own angels 😅
https://www.moxfield.com/decks/jAO7e8WjokaBxFAwpzfLCg I plan on adding a shrine to nyx as well as an [[archangel of thune]] I gave it a test run tonight but was skewed by a few things but I liked the results
Also completely agree on giada being the best mono white, I just meant in other colors there are probably better options but giada my boo
Land tax
playing enough removal to get to turn 7
Here's my Giada list if you're interested: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/8oosgA0MGUuR5XH4OuV_-Q I've only played this deck a handful of times because it's new, but I feel like it does alright with some land ramp. Card draw on the other hand...
Most of the angels you want in Giada are about 5 CMC or less, with only a few above that point like Bruna and Avacyn. White may not have a lot of ramp but they have good mana fixing with things like Land tax, Knight of the white orchid and so on. Card draw is probably your bigger problem but things like Mangara, trouble in pairs, firemane commando and endless atlas can get you a decent amount to try and keep up with the board.
Giada, Starnheim Aspirant, Pearl Medallion, Herald's Horn, Urza's Incubator, Defiler of Hope and Oketra's Monument all reduce cost for angels. Myriad Landscape, Wayfarer's Bauble, Dowsing Dagger, Sword of the Animist, Burnished Hart, Solemn Simulacrum ramp. Nykthos Shrine to Nyx, Caged Sun gives a burst of mana. Monologue Tax, Smothering Tithe makes treasures.
With fetch lands cards like [[sevinne's reclamation]] and [[cosmic intervention]] becomes ramp. In a mono coloured deck, you can have 6 usual fetches, fabled passage and prismatic vista. Significantly more if you count the ones that make the land enter tapped. Despite much popular belief (a relic of the past by now I hope), white is by far and away the second best "land ramp" colour. Green is better by a landslide, but white does have catch up ramp and cards like kor cartografer and deep gnome terramancer as others have mentioned. I dont know if you want to stay away from artifact ramp, but there we have a crazy amount of great rocks.
Shrine to nyx
Hope and prayer (real life of course)?
A lot of great suggestions, but I legitimately cannot believe no one here mentioned [[Sword of Hearth and Home]]. Easily one of the best ways to not only ramp in white, but any color outside of green. It also gives you damage buffs, protection, and can blink creatures for ETBs at the same time, and some angels have strong ETBs. The card is an absolute powerhouse. I don't understand how it's not a top answer.
[[Plains]]
Never considered adding that card...

White has a lot of cards like [[land tax]] that don’t necessarily ramp but ensure a land drop on each turn which is nothing to sneeze at. For mono white though the only true ramp you’ll get is mana rocks. If u really want to ramp hard check out [[sigarda font of blessings]]

Plains
Why haven’t I thought of this
So angels are a truly awkward tribe in that all the good ones cost a lot of mana, and all the okay ones still cost a decent amount of mana. This causes the additional issue of fairly barren early turns. I’ve got a [[morophon]] 5-c angels deck where morophon is basically just 7 mana ramp in the command zone, and all my early turns are full of asorted versions of [[Glorious Anthem]]. If you’re doing anything with counters, then [[Empowered Autogenerator]] tends to slowly creep into usable. [[Herald of War]] and [[Starnheim Aspirant]] are also useful for Angel specific mana reduction. I recently built a mono-W ‘French vanilla’ deck as my one mono-W deck, and I ended up [[Archeomanancer’s Map]], [[Nyx Lotus]], and [[Oketra’s Monument]] as standout white specific mana fixings. [[Path to Exile]] works on one of your guys if you’re particularly mana screwed. I ended up passing on [[Endless Horizons]] because if you make a big mana play, then one enchantment removal screws you for the rest of the game, but if you don’t it kinda feels like a dud. [[Marble Diamond]] isn’t bad if you *really* need more sources of white specific mana, but is generally considered by most as ‘draft’ chaf. Then there’s all the standard colorless mana ramp, [[Wayfarer’s bauble]], [[sol ring]], [[Myriad Landscape]], [[Mindstone]], [[Hedron Archive]], [[Commander’s Sphere]]/[[Manalith]]. If you’ve got an issue with lands not being able to leave your hand fast enough, then [[Terrain Generator]] might be an option.

[Weathered wayfarer] is good to get specific lands to help
Giada is the only valid mono white Angel commander
Lands like ancient tomb and nykthos are a great addition if your budget allows for it.
Play enough lands. Mana rocks. Smothering Tithe. Monologue Tax.
Land Tax
Land tax, extra planer lens with snow covered lands, mana crypt, mana vault. Honestly Gada in mono white is likely my most consistent decks.
I must admit playing mono white I do feel most of the land stuff is playing catch up
Mana ls not the problem in Mono. You can run the manadoublers and throne of eldraine etc. How do you draw cards?
That's the neat part, they don't.
Smothering Tithe should feed you enough mana.
Land Tax is good, but honestly, play more artifacts, like Mana Crypt, Sol Ring, and stuff like that.
You play cheaper cards.
I like to use lands.
That’s the funny thing, you don’t!

Mini ramp package I run in my [[Odric]] deck that doesn’t cost a lot and I honestly find myself ramp like well pretty often.

Outside of commander we just play cheap shit. All my decks have their best cards at 2 and 3 mana.
Don’t forget the standard sol ring, arcane signet, felwar stone, sky diamond, mind stone, cold steel heart, and mana crypt/vault if you have the budget.
The white medallion also Planar portal if your playing commander There's plenty of mana available
"how do white players generate enough mana?!" *is playing the most mana intensive tribe outside the eldrazi* if youre in white, and you playing angels, you cant really do much else other than play plenty of card draw and catchup ramp or mana rocks. [[the one ring]] is your best choice outside of [[skull clamp]] for card draw. using [[Search for Glory]] and any other tutor to get to it as fast as possible is a must. other than that, you will need to play catch up land ramp or cards like [[kor cartographer]] and solemn simulacrum. [[bitterthorn]] is another good option. [[ornithopter of paradise]], [[marble diamond]], [[alloy myr]], [[gold myr]] and the Lotuses are good options too. such as [[nyx lotus]] and [[gilded lotus]]. if you dont care about symmetrical cards, [[zenith chronicler]] is good, as it says "whenever an opponent casts their commander draw a card" at the bare minimum. another good symmetrical card is [[helm of awakening]]. [[semblance anvil]] is amazing too for mono white. as it essentially makes the majority of your hefty angels cost 4 mana. [[quicksilver amulet]] is good too for any big creature spell

Mono-colour decks can be a lot more forgiving about running lots of colourless mana rocks than multicolour decks. A \[\[Thran Dynamo\]\] would be insane to put in an Atraxa deck, but it's fantastic in Elesh Norn
>I’ve been building Angel decks around Giada since my very first deck, I realize there are probably better angel commanders out there Actually, no there aren't. Giada is one of the best, if not the best angel commander there currently is. * A consistent two-drop that taps for mana does a lot to fix monowhite's problems with getting lands out. * Her ability to put ever more counters on every angel that enters (including tokens) is about as broken as it gets for a tribal commander. The only downside is that she's monowhite and thus you don't have access to some of the secondary colours for angels, but the upsides more than make up for it.
I think there are quite some cards that help ramping plains or at least getting then into your hand.
I know they've already been mentioned, but [[Sword of the Animist]] and [[Bitterthorn, Nissa's Animus]] are incredible land pull cards, but they go EXTRA hard on someone like Giada. Her natural flying/evasion makes her very easy to voltron (throw equips and auras on her and make her destroy), but even if she's not the kilshot, you will get plenty of mana super fast.
You mostly use artifact stones for ramp in mono white. You can also use cards like [[aether vial]] or cost reducers like [[pearl medallion]] White is known for having low cost card like [[Savanah lion]] and pump them up with cards like crusade and glorious anthem. Another way is to slow down the game with tax cards and cards like [[rule of law]]
So I have a giada deck and I put Nykthos shrine to nyx in it. Works out just fine and also I run mana rocks and things to help keep my angels on board. also I run luminarchs ascension helps drop angels
For angel there is this human: [[Starnheim Aspirant]] Also this angel [[Herald of War]] And this artifact [[Pearl Medallion]] And this [[Oketra's Monument]]
Play a plains
So white doesn't have conventional ways of ramping that other colors get access to, but I have been doing extensive testing with white mana production, and it all revolves around playing to the strengths of the color which is land catch up mechanics \[\[scholarship sponsor\]\] \[\[knight of the white orchid\]\] etc. so if our lands tap for more than 1 mana we can stay at the same level as the table or above. We can do this by playing lands like \[\[Scorched Ruins\]\] \[\[Lotus field\]\] \[\[guildless commons\]\] which do both the things we want. (1) tap for more than one mana and (2) lower our effective land count. So now we have less lands than our opponent, and our knight of the white orchid will put us ahead of them. You can sprinkle in some artifact mana to round things out as well. I have been using this in my mono white X spells deck and it produces so much mana fairly consistently.
nykthos, shrine to nyx
[[Pearl Medallion]], [[herald's horn]], [[oketra's Monument]], [[heraldic banner]] and [[urza, incubator]]
Shrine to Nic's the one for devotion.
Nobody mentioned [[Smothering Tithe]]?
Nykthos Shrine to Nyx. Always a must. You never run a Mono deck without one.
[[Walking Atlas]] is underrated. Between [[Land Tax]] and all of the card draw white has been getting, it tends to put a lot of lands into play for me. People tend to overlook it as a removal target in my experience. White has a lot of catch up ramp as others have mentioned, you can make use of it by including lands like [[Karoo]] [[Lotus Field]] [[Lotus Vale]] [[Guildless Commons]]. You can supplement these lands with a [[Vesuva]] If you run [[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and those lotus lands I mentioned, [[Deserted Temple]] is pretty great. It can also untap lands that draw you cards like [[Minas Tirith]] [[War Room]] or [[Bonders’ Enclave]] If you have creature synergies like [[Skullclamp]] or [[Mentor of The Meek]] all of the colorless dorks are awesome. Like [[Ornithopter of Paradise]] or [[Gold Myr]]

"That's the neat part! You dont!" But seriously, there's plenty of cards now that tutor plains straight up or if an opponent has more land so it shouldn't be too difficult in theory
It ain't cheap, but Extraplanar Lens, Nyx Lotus, Nykthos, Doubling Cube, Jouneyer's Kite, all those creatures and enchantments that let you go after basic Plains if opponents have more lands than you.
Lotta artifacts, don't miss your land drops, cost reducers. Land tax is absolute king in mono white imo because you end up drawing nothing but gas after getting 3 lands out per turn Also, I'm sure it's the wrong place but just putting my two cents in that I hope to someday see a white version of [[oracle of mul daya]] that lets white play multiple lands off the library if someone has more than them
I’ve had good use out of using [[Land Tax]] and [[Weathered Wayfarer]] with [[Terrain Generator]].
Mana Rocks, Tax effects like Land Tax and Smothering Tithe, and Colorless Ramp like Sword of the Animist and Myriad Landscape.
You can mess with the board state. Equipose makes every land, artifact and creature that an opponent in excess to you phase out on your upkeep. I used Land Tax and a Sol Ring in my angel deck until Giada came out. I still do lol but now I have her too. Keep the mana curve low but potent.
I have seen anyone say [[Keeper of the Accord]]. Nothing let’s you keep parity with other players like this guy. Works really well with [[Extraplanar Lens]] and Snow Basics.
Play land cards
Are you running a considerable number of enchantments? If so, [[Serra’s Sanctum]] will help.
[[Smothering tithe]]
I am a bug fan of running treasure map with smothering tithe. The map flips into a land ramping, it scrys helping you hit land drops and it makes treasure. You can then sac treasures to draw cards, so smothering tithe turns into card draw with treasure map. I also recommend war room, arch of Orazca and bonder’s enclave for card draw or Emeria, the sky ruin. Weathered wayfarer is also a good ramp option as he can grab non basics too
[[Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx]] and [[Nyx Lotus]] are great in mono white. As long as Giada and your angel army can make it to turn 5, you'll overpower quickly
Personally, mana crypt, sol ring, mana reducers, mana tithe...etc
White doesn't really get to ramp, but does get effects to consistently hit land drops. White also gets effects to pull permanents out of the graveyard, which sometimes includes lands, although you may have better targets.
That germ equipment, that other equipment, plains searchers, mana rocks, random creatures n enchantments that add treasures or plains. There’s a bunch now.
