I'm looking for ideas to help with my Admonition Angel deck here:

Admonition and Taxes

My goal is to make it more reliable. Click the below accordions for the mainboard card list and the description, respectively.

Deck Card List

• 4x Admonition Angel
• 2x Archon of Valor's Reach
• 4x Bloom Tender
• 4x Exploration
• 6x Forest
• 1x Gaddock Teeg
• 4x Knight of New Alara
• 3x Land Tax
• 8x Plains
• 2x Ramunap Excavator
• 4x Savannah
• 2x Spirit of Resistance
• 4x Sylvan Safekeeper
• 4x Tireless Tracker
• 4x Transguild Courier
• 4x Windswept Heath

Deck Description

The deck is designed to win with either Admonition Angel 's ETB or stompy bears (or a combination). Uses mana ramp to rush Admonition Angel out (and protects her with Sylvan Safekeeper ) and continues that ramp to abuse her ETB effect.

Uses Exploration to mana ramp. Get Land Tax out with Sylvan Safekeeper and sacrifice down to one below opponent's land for a 3-draw deck-thin during your draw step each turn. Use Ramunap Excavator to play that land back out when needed.

Bloom Tender helps with ramp and is a tap for 5 mana when Transguild Courier is in play. Spirit of Resistance is in effect as long as Transguild Courier is in play.

Transguild Courier gets +5/+5 for each Knight of New Alara in play and can get stompy real fast.

Tireless Tracker provides a good place to dump leftover mana for faster draw and can get huge as +1/+1 counters build up.

Archon of Valor's Reach and Gaddock Teeg round out your board wipe protection.

Sideboard: Arcane Lighthouse provides insurance vs full shroud/hexproof (this is rare but possible).

I'm looking for ideas that can help the deck accomplish its goals more reliably. At its core it is designed to ramp out mana in order to get Admonition Angel out quickly, and continue its mana ramp to abuse her ETB. Everything else is secondary, but having a secondary win-con (in this case big bears) is probably necessary.
