Angels tribal deck.

The deck goes around having a little ramp of mana with creatures that will boost the exalted feature of the deck and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx with devotion to bring forth the big angels and have bigger and better creatures than my opponent. Revolves around Archangel of Tithes for defense and Sublime Archangel for offense taking the exalted of all creatures and combo with Rogue's Passage or Stave Off to make it unblockable and do serious damage on the opponent. Landing the combo Swiftfoot Boots + Shalai, Voice of Plenty or putting a second Sublime Archangel normally with 3 or 4 creatures on field and equiping Swiftfoot Boots to it make sure the exalted for all creatures stays there long enough to make an unblockable attack. When in a pinch I pray for Entreat the Angels to use the miracle cost with lots of mana and turn the board to my side. Finnally, if nothing else works and the game lasts long enough bring out the endgame Avacyn, Angel of Hope or Iona, Shield of Emeria to get the advantadge and win. Usually with the creatures of mana and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx I should be albe to cast each by the 6th turn.

I'm currently on the fence bettween Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves and Whispersilk Cloak because the greaves are cheaper in terms of mana but the cloak comes with unblockable which with exalted is very powerfull. Still the Greaves come with shroud which prevents me from giving protection/unblockable to the creature. Are really the Swiftfoot Boots the best choice? Any thoughts?

Any other suggestion is very appreciated. I'm also trying to put together a sideboard but can't really figure out which cards to put there so all help is welcome.

NOTE: Maybeboard are cards I considered to be on the deck or I would put on the deck when playing in Legacy mode. Don't mind it too much but if you see something interesting in there let me know.
