Now that Avacyn has been announced by the mothership, I thought I might be the first to attempt a deck around the recently previewed Avacyn, Angel of Hope. I'll try to stick to an angel theme so, here we go!
I think you need roughly a million more mana rocks, and they should likely include Caged Sun and Gauntlet of Power. You have an 8 CMC general, a bunch of other expensive creatures, and your best line of play is to drop her and immediately follow up with some kind of board wipe. That's a ridiculously expensive line of play, and there's pretty much no way you're going to pull it off with the deck as is. Adding mana rocks also makes Armageddon slightly more reasonable without Avacyn in play.
I might also consider Devoted Caretaker as another way to protect Avacyn from the relatively small number of things that can remove her.
I don't really get what Fireshrieker is here for. Once you start controlling the game, double strike seems like overkill. If you're not controlling hte game, Fireshrieker doesn't help you get to that point.

Mask of Avacyn <---Good show sir, I see style points in your future :p. Only suggestion like some others have stated is get that chick some mana rocks! ( one of my favorites to do is stuff my mono color decks with snow lands and use Extraplanar Lens. Because honestly how many people use snow lands?

Calling for a ban before a card is released. Too pro haha. She costs 8 and WWW at that. Something so expensive better be freaking good.
Love the deck man, living the dream. I intended to build her if she was B/W, but I have enough mono colored decks already with Mono Red and Mono Green. Very happy with here being Mono White though and to reiterate, MANA ROCKS!
I do. Any mono-color I ever build uses snow lands.
Technically, every deck should use them. Just sniping other people's Extraplanar Lenses is worth the minimal investment. Plus, Mouth of Ronom is just fantastic.
On topic: Moar Mana Rocks. Like, a lot more. Also, wraths help you get to the late game as well.
Oh, and remember that Cataclysm makes you sacrifice your permanents, so Avacyn won't make it asymmetrical.
I think I just straight up replace Konda in my my mono-white board-wipe/indestructable deck.
Avacyn only costs 1 more, is permanently 8/8, and extends indestructability to all my stuff.... just seems better than Konda.

Sol Ring, Grim Monolith, Mana Vault, Gilded Lotus, Everflowing Chalice, Mana Crypt if you have one. And then for some additional help with making the land drops:Journeyer's Kite, Armillary Sphere, Land Tax,Weathered Wayfarer, and maybe Thawing Glaciers.Edit: the aforementioned Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun should be great, too.
BTW, I love that you included Worldslayer. My thoughts went straight to that equip too when I saw her.
I do. Any mono-color I ever build uses snow lands.
I also use snow lands.

Well, there's all of the artifact ramp. From good stuff like Sol Ring, Thran Dynamo and Chrome Mox to terrible stuff like Marble Diamond.
Well yes, there's artifact ramp, but I'm talking about cards that can put plains directly into play.

Druidic Satchel and Oath of Lieges are the only two other cards I can think of.
Probably not playing Druidic Satchel, but Oath of Lieges seems like it would be worth playing.
