I get what you want out of War Falcon but it seems kind of pointless in this deck

@ matt2265 , Thats is a good suggestion for this deck to use Detention Sphere

The reason I don't run Detention Sphere is that it's less versatile. It can't hit other D Spheres. I'm open to running it in the sideboard against something like tokens or Entreat the Angels , but I like the utility of O Ring just a little bit more.

Faerie Impostor is a decent option for one drops, but you don't have a lot of ETB effects so I'm not sure if it would be good. It does potentially reset your soulbond on Silverblade Paladin , however, so I'd consider it. Another option is Doomed Traveler , since it's essentially 2 creatures for 1 white. Plus he pumps Champion of the Parish .
Those and War Falcon are the only 1-drops worth playing in your colors that are in Standard right now.

My initial reaction is to say that the Invisible Stalker doesn't really fit here. The object of this deck is to have board position and to essentially have a bunch of guys out who can each swing for a good amount of damage. With 2x sublime archangels in the deck you're gonna have the ability to swing with one really big creature and leave tons for defense which is really good, however this is the only point at which the stalker is actually useful. Otherwise he turns into a perpetual pinger that requires far too much effort to get him going. He is hexproof and unblockable, both are great, but he needs more help than what he has here. I would replace them with Fencing Ace who can handle any x/1 creature on defense, but then can also be a lethal swinger as well and with the archangel bonus he has better potential in general.
Also if you can, I'd add 2x sublime archangel. In this deck, you'll have the ability to swing with one and leave a bunch of creatures back for defense. Not to mention that she's a 4/3 flyer on her own. If your opponent doesn't have a way to deal with her nearly immediately, she spells certain game.
As to War Falcon , if you remove the stalker and replace it with fencing ace, I think you'll find that you're ability to use it will get much better much faster.
Switch out O-ring for detention sphere. They do the same thing, but the sphere does it better. I know the mana is a little screwy but its not as bad as you might think.
Final note would be to work with the mana base. I'd replace 1x of your MB caverns with a Moorland Haunt and then replace 1 or 2 plains with an island. This will make it easier to have access to blue and give you a use for any humans that end up in the graveyard (which is huge against control who now has to deal with your spirits after board wipes).
SB note I'd remove the Rootborn Defenses in lieu of card:Sphinx's Revelation and maybe another Moorland Haunt . Against control running Terminus and Supreme Verdict you'll run out of cards quickly and lose board advantage. The card:Sphinx's Revelation will give you the life you need to survive longer to build up board advantage again, but also give you the cards you need to replace your creatures.

Hey, thanks for your ideas on my deck. I really like your approach to this deck especially Sublime Archangel , hits the board like a wrecking ball. I'll see if I can get my hands on one or two for my own deck.
One idea though. I agree with rckclimber777 about Invisible Stalker . I have a feeling, that this card doesn't suit the purpose of this deck. Don't get me wrong, he's a great way of sneaking in some damage, especially if he's enchanted with Curiosity or Spectral Flight . But in my opinion lacks the tempo or board presence you want from a 2-drop. I would suggest replacing them by Knight of Glory even if he is not hexproof and unblockable. But his exalted helps you swing for 3 damage turn two with either Champion of the Parish or War Falcon . Also the Protection from black is really good against Zombie/Jund-Decks which appear to be omnipresent.
Anyway +1 from me.

If you're going to be using your guildmages to hand out flight, why not take out your two spectral flights for two guildmages? This deck seems vicious, though - wish I could afford these cards.
