This is a friend's human deck from the innistrad starter deck he is a new player and has made a few adjustments but would like some suggestions!

Maybe something big like a Sun Titan, if you have any. Gideon's Avenger has also worked quite well for me. And I am always a fan of some hexproof, Swiftfoot Boots or Mask of Avacyn. Nice Deck :-)

Okay, first I just want to point out that i'm going to comment in increments. My friend got the same deck and has made it work for him so I'll help out as best I can. Artifacts: I would suggest Sharpened Pitchfork. Silver-Inlaid Dagger is good, but first strike is always useful, as well as that humans get +1/+1 from it, making it even better. Butcher's Cleaver is expensive, but gives humans lifelink so I'd put 2 in the sideboard for later, or your friend might find they work well in the deck all the time. One more: Blazing Torch is good vs. any black deck(on average) because vampires and zombies can't block the equipped creature, so I'd have 3 in the sideboard.
Creatures: I can't help much here, but I'll give you some ideas. Gideon's Lawkeeper is nice to have, but I'd drop a couple of them. 2 more Elite Vanguards. Thraben Sentry is fun to have, as well as Mausoleum Guard. I personally would take out Benalish Veteran. I would also put the Elite Inquisitor in your sideboard because its only a 2/2 against any other deck, so I would leave room for more generic cards. Take out or move to the sideboard 1 or 2 of the Fiend Hunters becuase I wouldn't leave that many in the deck, because you use those on more powerful cards and you won't want them all slowing you down. Also put in the sideboard a few Slayer of the Wickeds. Unruly Mob might be a good idea for this deck as well. That's all I have on that.
elite inquisitor is awesome! against a non-vamp, etc. deck he's still great! dropping a 2/2 for 2 white with first strike and vigilance is really good! won me many games.
Enchantments: Too many Oblivion Rings, take some out, or put them in the sideboard. Spirit Mantle and Honor the Pure are great in this deck. More if possible. I also like Divine Favor.
The other stuff: Gideon is a good card, but I don't like him. Your friend can decide whether or not to keep him. I'd put in another Timely Reinforcements, but remember: its only good at certain times and may slow you down. You might wanna find another card to do a better job.
first: narrow it down to 60 cards. best chance of getting gideon. (I'm not really sure why you have him in there. he doesn't do much for the rest of the deck.) some suggestions for cards to take out would be stuff like benalish veteran which personally is just a sucky card in the first place. overall it has a lot of potential with cards like your friend has in there. I would suggest maybe some stuff like elder cathar to boost up the other humans and maybe some unruly mobs because inevitably your humans are going to die and it would be nice if you got some bonuses from that. good luck!
It was fun seeing your friends deck. Thnx for the opportunity to help. Hope I did. PS: if you looked at my quick win deck I'd very much appreciate it.
