Other permanents you control have hexproof.

You may cast Angel spells and Human spells from the top of your library.

Guide

Gameplan

Deploy Sigarda early to blanket your board in hexproof, then grind out value by casting Angels and Humans off the top of your library while building a wide or tall battlefield. You play a protected midrange game, sticking threats that opponents can't interact with via targeted removal and overwhelming with evasive bodies.

Strengths

Hexproof on all your other permanents shuts down targeted removal, Edicts aside
Card advantage engine casting Angels and Humans off the top of your library
Sigarda herself is hard to deal with as a flying body protecting your whole board
GW gives access to elite ramp, recursion, and resilient creatures

Weaknesses

Vulnerable to board wipes and mass removal since hexproof doesn't stop sweepers
Edict and sacrifice effects bypass hexproof entirely
Off-tribe noncreature permanents and spells don't benefit from the top-of-library casting
No card draw outside the top-card filter; can stall if top is a dead card
Lacks built-in evasion or reach for closing fast games

Key Cards

Heroic Intervention — Backstops the hexproof shell against board wipes, protecting your whole team for two mana.
Sun Titan — Recurs your fallen permanents to rebuild after the sweepers that beat Sigarda.
Giada, Font of Hope — Anthems and ramps your Angels, synergizing directly with the cast-from-top Angel package.
Esper Sentinel — A Human that draws cards and can be cast off the top, fueling the deck's engine.
Cathars' Crusade — Turns a wide Human/Angel board into an overwhelming, ever-growing threat.
Avacyn, Angel of Hope — Gives all permanents indestructible, completing a near-lockout defensive shell with Sigarda.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, Birds of Paradise, Smothering Tithe) and stronger Angel/Human payoffs to maximize the top-of-library engine, and lean harder into one win plan. Prioritize protection against sweepers (Heroic Intervention, Teferi's Protection, Boros Charm) since that's your real weakness, and tighten the curve so Sigarda lands by turn three to four. A Craterhoof or Finale of Devastation finisher converts your protected board into a clean kill.

Archetypes

Tribal (Angels/Humans) — Sigarda lets you cast both creature types off the top of your library for relentless value.
Midrange Hexproof — Blanket hexproof makes a protected midrange threat-based deck extremely resilient to spot removal.
Tokens/Go-Wide — GW token producers paired with anthems exploit the safety of an untargetable board.
Voltron — Hexproof protects an equipped or enchanted attacker from removal, enabling commander-damage kills.
