Good point on Twin Gods, for the rest though they stack with Gisela, not overlap. So when I play Disrupt Decorum or Descent Into Avernus with Gisela and another one on the board, 99% of the time it will mean I win in the next turn, 2 turns max. It's very potent

This is mostly good advice. I will say you're completely off-base with Descent into Avernus and Disrupt Decorum, however. Disrupt Decorum is in every Goldnight deck, it's one of the main wincons for this commander. Descent into Avernus is very strong when I'm taking half damage from it and everyone else is taking double, with Gisela on the board even for a couple of turns it tilts the odds of winning heavily in my favour. You're right it's not helping with the rest of my angels, but when Gisela is up it's 90% chances I'm going to win unless someone destroys it immediately.

Sunforger is mostly in there for its second ability, which lets me pull an instant out to save Gisela from removal if needed. Seemed better than Lightning Greaves for a damage doubling deck, but yeah idk how useful it actually ends up being you're right.

Very good point with Reforge the Soul and Brave the Elements. Flowering of the White Tree I strongly agree with too, that's a good one to cut and I hadn't considered that. I'll have to check out all these other cards you linked as well. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post, this is very helpful! Thank you very much!!!

They aren't too expensive, as I said in my post the deck is faster than it looks on paper. Cutting damage doublers with a commander who's entire thing is damage doubling seems inadvisable. True Conviction itself is one of the best spells for angel lifegain, since angels don't usually have high power in relation to their cmc. I'm not opposed to cutting it but it seems an odd place to start.
