since the release of AVR ive been wanting to build a green/white human deck for standard play. my brother is just starting to play magic and pulled a Sigarda, Host of Herons. so i figured id build one for him. this is what ive come up with so far.

Lands:

4 plains
4 forest
4 gavony township
4 sunpetal grove
4 razorverge thicket

Creatures:

4 avacyn's pilgrim
2 borderland ranger
4 champion of lambholt
4 champion of the parish
2 gideon's avenger
2 hamlet captain
1 mikaeus, the lunarch
2 riders of gavony
2 silverblade paladin
2 somberwald sage
1 sigarda, host of herons

Spells:
2 day of judgement
2 gather the townfolk
2 increasing devotion
2 rally the peasants
2 righteous blow
2 cathar's crusade
2 oblivion ring

i dont know enough about how green and white mesh together to make this competitive. i think the creature base is ok, but i need some SERIOUS help with the spell base... thanks in advance.

get rid of the DoJ and add in Fiend hunter 3 of

rally is only good if you have a red mana source other than BoP to cast it

Also Cavern of Souls are good in tribal

You should also be playing 4 Gather the Townfolk, since the best play the first two turns is, T1 Champion of the Parish T2 Gather, Turn 3 Sage, Turn 4 Heron/rally/ect

Also I hear that Honor the Pure is good with mostly white creatures, this is barring that you are playing no more that 5 nonwhite creatures and 16 or more white creatures.

I notice you said he just got into magic, but he should have most of these cards
