{thragtusk} is a great card
Silver blade paladin is awesome might consider a 4th
Resto angel is pretty good but works best with stuff like thragtusk
Thalia is awesome slows down your opponent by a turn and dosent effect you much .
Might consider mana ramps instead of the falcon (is a nice blocker for the first few turns but it's not to hard to kill) so you can speed up. Right now your hard casting everything so your running at the same pace as just about every other deck. I'd much rather have a turn two Smiter then a turn one bird {arbor elf} {avcyns pilgrim}

I usually run 24 land in most of my decks. But I usually prefer to have a hand full of land then have to mulligan. Depends on how it's been running mana wise

I'd drop the falcons.  And sideboard Thalia.   Add in avacyn pilgrim.  My GW is similar but hits really hard by turn, 3-4.

Those falcons have gotten me some quick wins. They can provide massive damage early on. Potentially 5 damage turn 2 in the air and tons more when silverblade comes out.

I totally forgot to put smiter in my deck.   I'm a failure at magic.  Lol

Updated. Put more lands and thraggy in. Also just took out a healer and put in  {Sigarda, Host of Herons}. Opinions?

I'd replace one of the 1 drops with  {Experiment One} as your later drops will boost them.
I'd strongly recommend getting 4  {Temple Garden} if you can as they will really help the mana.
I would also focus your mana to one colour for your 1 and 2 drops. I'd pick green and then replace giant growth with another 2 drop, probably  {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} as then you will only have 8 non-creature spells and she will hinder your opponents more than she will you.

I've been looking out for another Thalia. I want to run 2

Definitely 4 {Temple Garden}s.

Just throwing this in here. Adding  {Sigarda, Host of Herons} was the best choice I have made for this deck. She's such a beast card! I think once I add the  {Temple Garden}s this deck will be done. It got 2nd in FNM last night.
