I'm building an Orzhov Angels commander deck and I'd love to have basics that match the theme. What would you suggest? (mtgzone.com)

I think I've found the Plains (USG 331 to 334), which depict Serra if I got that right, but what about the Swamps? I understand that they may not exist as Angels are overwhelmingly white-aligned, but maybe there's something?

I don't know how to search something this specific, I found about the Plains thanks to someone else who asked about them.

thanks in advance!

I would try scrfall: https://scryfall.com/search?q=art%3Aangel+t%3Aland+legal%3Astandard+&unique=art&as=grid&order=name

That is all the angel art tagged lands valid for standard. You can change the legal:blah to other formats

oh, I didn't know that the cards are tagged like that. Nice! That answers my question, hopefully there's at least one swamp with angels in the art! appreciated, thanks!

I usually go to tagger.scryfall.com and search a card I know works for what I want, then look at the tags that card has, then swap to scryfall proper and search for all the cards that are legal in whatever format I want that have the right tag, then start parsing down from there.

Scrfall is an amazing tool and still has lots of depths I have not plumbed yet
