Defy Death
Sorcery
Return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. If it's an Angel, put two +1/+1 counters on it.

No player can cast spells or activate abilities between returning the creature card to the battlefield and checking whether it’s an Angel.

If the creature is an Angel only on the battlefield (perhaps because it’s a non-Angel creature card and Xenograft is on the battlefield), it will get the +1/+1 counters.
