This popped up in my recommended and since I also have a Giada deck it was great to see your build! There are some angels I've never heard of in here which is great, I will definitely have to look into adding some of them to mine! If I can throw out suggestions, there are some angels in your deck that I actually considered putting in mine but that I thought weren't as efficient. Angel of Vitality will almost always have the +2 in a commander game, but I will also suggest Righteous Valkyrie as a 3 mana angel that both helps you with lifegain and gives all your creatures a boost if your life is high enough. Angel of Grace is cool but I feel like when I'm about to get knocked out, most of the time being at 1 life won't save me. In my 5 mana slot I have Angel of Destiny instead, which fits into your lifegain theme and can finish someone off immediately. Angel of Flight Alabaster also isn't likely to have much utility (though I don't have Drumbellower in my own deck, so maybe it does for you, but the likelihood of them both being out still seems smaller than I would like)- I would suggest Battle Angels of Tyr, which is also a 4/4 but with way more impactful abilities. I feel like there just aren't enough non-Angels in either of our decks for Glorious Protector to be of much use in most games- in my own deck I have Guardian of Faith, which while not being an angel itself, has a similar effect but can save your angels too. Platinum Angel is a classic but is also 7 mana, and this deck can get really top-heavy with all the strong high-CMC angels. Instead I added The Book of Exalted Deeds, which you can use to make one of your angels into a Platinum if you need that ability, but also works with the lifegain to get you extra angel tokens. Some other cards in my deck that I think would also work well in yours are: Valkyrie Harbinger (uses lifegain to make more angels), Dawn of Hope (uses lifegain to draw you cards), Sublime Archangel (gives everything exalted, so you can crack in with one of those pro-color angels for huge damage) Mana Tithe (no one ever sees it coming!!) and Pristine Angel (also has protection since you seem to like that.) Sorry to go on, I don't mean this as criticism, I just also love Giada and want to share what angels I have been using that I think are really good! Giada is such a good commander and I'm glad you have so much fun playing her because I do too!
Wow there are some great suggestions in here! Some of which I did not know (because I skipped some of the sets they are in.), I especially like Angel of Destiny! I will have to look into that one for sure! Pristine Angel! How could I have forgotten her! Especially with Drumbellower in the deck it will do just fine. Thank you for the excellent suggestions! I will most likely return to you comment in the future to upgrade the deck as I have no plans of disassemble it yet.
There are a few artifacts in here that do so, as well as filters to sift out lands. I have not been in situations where I needed more than I already run.
Oh my, those are quite aggressive to run. However in most stores and friendly circles around here, land destruction either straight out prohibited, or frowned upon. That being said, I like your style.

Jee-aa-duh!
BLINDING ANGEL COME ON MAN

There are a few artifacts in here that do so, as well as filters to sift out lands. I have not been in situations where I needed more than I already run.
I think your missing my 4 favorite cards to run in angels, strip mine, wasteland, Armageddon and ravages of war
Oh my, those are quite aggressive to run. However in most stores and friendly circles around here, land destruction either straight out prohibited, or frowned upon. That being said, I like your style.
I dont have any of these cards 🐏🐄🐚
