Deck discussion for G/W midrange Standard

I dont like the ×4restoration angel. Its a great a great card, but this is not a good deck for it. You only have 3 thragtusks as good targets, and its really bad with rancor.
Here is my version of G/W aggro, http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=402347 mine is a bit faster and I think it's overall a bit better(at least based on the popularity of decks in my local meta, mine is tuned slightly for Rites and removal-loaded combo. Mine is also cheaper(Thragtusk+resto angel=$$$)

about the resto angel... i thought about changing loxodon for centaur healer to have 4 more targets for angel but he is just not as kick ass as loxodon. Although i don´t have much targets for it, resto is a great card to protect your creatures against removal. It also resets strangleroot geist. Maybe i can add a couple of armada wurm in the future but i don´t know. I think that thragtusk is a must have on G/W decks, it is in the top 5 of greatest cards in the format (in my opinion).

Not a good deck for resto angel? She can end of turn instant speed reassign soulbond of silverblade or silverheart to herself, next turn swing for 6 or 7 respectively. Add rancor on her with silverblade and 10 damage? Resto angel breaks the format in my opinion, thragtusk is just a bonus target.

I would maybe cut down on the silverhearts to 1 or two and add a sigarda, hexproof is awesome in this format. Also with the cutting of silverheart you can cut 1 primal hunter and add 2 garruk relentless to search for sigarda, silverheart, armada wurm, thragtusk, etc effictively giving you possibly three sigarda's and three silverheart's mainboard.

Resto angel is great! It has so many uses... i thought about replacing it for sublime archangel but its way too expencive and it dies with a 3 damage removal. Also you can´t atack with more than 1 creature, and thats a big problem against control and tempo decks. Garruk relentless is nice but i just love primal hunter, he is very powerful and with his -3 if i have a silverheart i can draw 8 cards (likely for sigarda to appear). My only concern is that i have too many 5 mana drop but i don´t want to cut anything...

relentless is good. but with as many creatures as this deck runs, I think the draw ability would be better than a simple search spell. Plus you have to sac a creature to trigger it. I do agree with you about restoration angel. Even Bant control runs atleast 2 of her. She is probably the best white creature in standard right now.
