Mostly I'm looking for what would be a better fit for my deck between Quicksilver Amulet and Cryptic Gateway. But, with all the choices of Beasts and support out there, any general opinions on where I could steer the deck are certainly appreciated.
Anyone out there willing to help me pare this down? I don't know if I should just go mono white, but I need a way to get some card draw. The card quantities/selections were jumbled together off what I thought had some synergy. Again, this is a casual deck, but it'd be nice for it to be a clean/efficient deck as well.
I'm putting together a very casual deck while stuck in the household to play with my wife. It's G/W and just about every card has creature type "Human Knight" or supports either/or. There are no format restrictions, but we have agreed to not use any banned cards and respect restricted rulings as well.
Here's my problem:
I want to play Angel of Glory's Rise to dump my graveyard back onto the board en masse, should the game stall. I am not sure if there is anyway to protect her as she's being cast. Once she hits the board I can reasonably keep her protected. Plus, the flux of Humans should be enough to clean things up.
I've been staring at Gatherer and my eyes are starting to bleed. Is there a G/W/Colorless way to protect her, or is there another card(s) that I've overlooked that would help me get Humans out of my graveyard en masse?
Deck:
Creatures:
4 Arbor Elf
3 Arboreal Grazer
3 Kalonian Tusker
3 Krosan Warchief
3 Leatherback Baloth
2 Ravenous Baloth
3 Elder Gargaroth
3 Garruk's Packleader
2 Thragtusk
1 Rampaging Baloths
Enchantment:
4 Wild Growth
Instant:
3 Beast Within
Plainswalker:
2 Garruk Wildspeaker
Artifact:
2 Quicksilver Amulet
or
2 Cryptic Gateway
Land:
2 Contested Cliffs
4 Fire-Lit Thicket
4 Rootbound Crag
12 Forest
I do worry, beyond the Arbor Elf and Wild Growth, that things are going to be too slow. Even for my casual games.
Thanks!

Thanks!
