Riders of Gavony might also be stronger than Sublime Archangel , you'll be attacking with many creatures more often than just one and you might want to try out Path of Bravery

@Demarge: I definitely preferred Riders of Gavony over Sublime Archangel after testing, only problem is that I'm not sure if they are a solid 4 of in the main. Also I considered Banisher Priest , but Fiend Hunter is in for the removal, and I would prefer to have him not be as easily killed by removal spells.

I think with such a low curve, you should cut 4 Plains and put in 4 Elite Inquisitor s.

Banisher Priest dies to shock and pillar of flame and thats a thing so I think Field Hunter is a solid choice. Personally I would take Inquisitor over Captain as a white white two drop. Vigilance to attack and block is very nice for such a deck and I don't see the use of Gideon in the sideboard. His ability is one that is only good when you are winning so it's really just a win more condition so I would stick with something that would ruin your game like board wipe like say Faiths reward although I have heard it's too slow so you will have to run some test first. Also Beckon Apparition is not as effective as Rest in piece. So I would go 2x Rest in piece if you want effective control of the graveyard state.

Thraben Doomsayer is just not as good as other white three drops, even though his fateful hour is awesome.

No, but he works so well with Champion of the Parish , and will make trump blockers

I would take him over the Sublime Archangel most times, with only one way of getting damage through, having no trample

splashing green for Mayor of Avabruck Flip is worth it.

i made a build very similar to this i did Elite Inquisitor and nearhalth pilgrilm and also over doomed traveler id do Boros elite more aggro. i also did 3 rootbourne defense in main and switch fiend hunter for Frontline medic if your dudes are indestructible no need for removal

I ran a similar deck which splashed green just for gavony / rancor / mayor of avubrook
if you want to stay mono white, a great sideboard is Angelic Overseer , will keep you in game against board wipes, flying and bigger threats..
I never found Sublime Archangel to be all that helpful in thisdeck b/c swinging out with the team was almost always more useful then 1 really big creature that didn't have trample. Since you should be outracing any other deck and have FS advantage.

Banisher Priest would likely work better than Fiend Hunter for this deck, it's more built for offense.
