Dear Tom,
Thank you for your E-mail. Your deck looks like a lot of fun, and it looks pretty strong as well. I'm not entirely sure why this deck would lose so consistently, but I can see a few flaws in it.
First, there's your lands.
The whole purpose of Flagstones of Trokair is that you can play two, the Legend rule will kill them, and you get to so search for two Plains. They're best in a deck with a lot of Ravnica duals, but in your case they act as land searchers that you don't spend any mana on, so you can thin your deck easily. If you only play one, you're defeating the purpose. Get four. And drop Calciform Pools; I know you could theoretically get Akroma out faster with it, but every charge counter requires "1, Tap:", so you're spending a lot of mana over several turns. In a deck with so many small creatures, you're hurting yourself with this land. Or you're just not getting Akroma out any faster.
Next, your spells. Gaze of Justice and Devouring Light are both pretty weak in comparison to Condemn, so I advise trading them all in for 4 Condemn. Spirit Loop is nice, but gaining life isn't really as important as you think. I'd replace it with Griffin Guide. Imagine a 4/4 flying Knight of the Holy Nimbus! Glorious Anthem is probably the best noncreature card you've got in here, so you would want a few more copies, and speaking of which, what about a Glorious Anthem that accelerated your mana? It exists, and it's called Gauntlet of Power. It's an expensive card money-wise, but you did say no budget, and it will get your huge angels out pretty fast. It could easily replace Extraplanar Lens, and also Sword of Kaldra.
Finally, if your strategy revolves around Akroma, Blazing Archon, etc., you may want to consider a few Resurrection or Debtors' Knell to bring them back if they die. Monowhite reanimator decks are always fun, aren't they?
Condemn, Gauntlet of Power, Resurrection....all these cards are pretty expensive. Normally I wouldn't recommend them too highly, but if you can afford them, by all means. Sometimes when a solid deck keeps losing, the answer is to pull out all the stops. Good luck to you!
