What cards will give angels the most speed?

Equipped for the Mission (AW)
Type: Hero Enh. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Set a Hero aside. On return, reveal one card from top of draw pile for each turn Hero was set aside. Take up to two good cards revealed into hand. Shuffle the rest into your draw pile. • Play As: Set aside a Hero. On return, reveal one card from top of deck for each turn Hero was set aside. Take up to two good cards revealed into hand. Shuffle [return] the rest (if any) into your deck. • Identifiers: NT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: Hebrews 13:20-21 • Availability: Angel Wars booster packs (Common)

Angel of His Presence (Ki)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 7 / 5 • Class: Warrior • Special Ability: Draw the top card from your draw pile. • Identifiers: Generic OT Male Angel • Verse: Isaiah 63:9 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Uncommon)

Servant Angel (E)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 5 / 6 • Class: None • Special Ability: Holder may draw a card. • Identifiers: Generic NT Male Angel • Verse: Revelation 22:3 • Availability: E Deck

Angel of the Harvest (RA)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Silver • Ability: 8 / 4 • Class: None • Special Ability: Discard the top card of opponent's deck. If it is a Lost Soul, put it in play instead. If it is a good card, add it to opponent's hand instead and you may draw a card. • Play As: Discard the top card of opponent's deck. If it is a Lost Soul, place it in play instead. If it is a good card, place it to opponent's hand instead and you may draw a card. • Identifiers: Generic NT Male Angel • Verse: Matthew 13:39 • Availability: Rock of Ages booster packs (None)

and if you want you could try some combo like:

Ahimelech, Priest at Nob (Pi)
Type: Hero Char. • Brigade: Teal • Ability: 3 / 3 • Class: None • Special Ability: Search discard pile for a weapon class Enhancement and place on your warrior class Hero that has no weapon and convert weapon to that Hero’s brigade. • Identifiers: OT Male Human, Tabernacle Priest (House of Ithamar) • Verse: I Samuel   

and place a weapon class enhancement like:
Two Thousand Horses (Ki)
Type: Evil Enh. • Brigade: Pale Green • Ability: 2 / 2 • Class: Weapon • Special Ability: Holder may interrupt the battle, draw 2 cards from the top of own draw pile, and play the next enhancement. • Play As: You may interrupt the battle, draw 2 and play an enhancement. • Identifiers: OT, Depicts a Weapon • Verse: II Kings 18:23 • Availability: Kings booster packs (Common)

Those are good.  I'd also use Gabriel Meets Zecharias - Get your faster heroes out faster.  Also works with Ahimelech in the post above.

I personally think the search cards are perfectly fine ways to get "speed." I've never put Equipped for the Mission in a deck (probably because it takes so long), but it can be a pretty nice card in some decks I would think. The "draw one" angels I don't think are worth adding, but they can still be nice.

I use Angel of the Harvest, it doesn't always draw cards, but there is a good chance, and sure it will occasionally give your opponent cards, but it also helps with Lost Soul generation (slightly) and sometimes kills key defensive cards.

Godspeed.

LOL that made my day

add Golgotha to bypass your own Three Nails.

Golgotha (Di)
Type: Site • Brigade: White • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Anytime during battle, you may place a skull icon card from hand or discard pile on Golgotha: N.T. characters of that brigade cannot be ignored. Return that card to its previous location at end of turn. • Identifiers: Jew, Holds one skull icon card • Verse: Matthew 27:33 • Availability: Disciples booster packs ()
