I am constructing a type 2 mono-white life gain deck. Below is the decklist (thus Far) and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

4 Serra Ascendant
3 Felidar Sovereign
2 Baneslayer Angel
2 Transcendent Master
3 Wall of Omens
14

Other Spells
3 Ajani Goldmane
1 Oust
1 Silence
2 Landbind Ritual
4 Journey to Nowhere
3 Condemn
2 Solemn Offering
1 Narrow Escape
1 Brave the Elements
1 Excommunicate
1 Luminous Wake
20

Sideboard and Manabase under construction
The manabase, though not made quite yet, will definitely run 4xKabira Crossroads, 3xTerramorphic Expanse (for land thinning, I would usually use the Zendikar fetchlands but...well that's going in the wrong direction for this deck)
Is there a way to add Kor Skyfishers to combo with your Crossroads?
I would throw Ajani's Pridemate there really good in life gain decks.
I would use the 4 copies of wall of omens even in place of having one of the felidar Soveign because it helps speed the deck up slightly as well as offers you the wall to defend yourself early game. I'm not a fan of Landbind ritual as until you have at least 6 or 7 mana it's not worth playing, and that's only plains, not the special named white lands you plan to use in the deck. You would be better off with rest for the weary as it is way cheaper and more often then not you have a land drop the turn that you play it. As nearly every monster in the deck has Lifelink, I don't see a reason to have the copy of Luminous wake in the deck. An extra copy of brave the elements I would think would be better as you have very little in the way of creatures, so doing your best to keep the ones you have on the board is important.
