I prefer Linvala over Selfless Spirit because it's an Angel and synergizes well with Bishop and Righteous Valkyrie. Also, because it can act just the same, or like a Heroic Intervention to give them Hexproof.
Faceless Haven maybe could fit better into a mono-white or in the UW version.
Personally I would be tempted to run 4 Faceless Haven while cutting the 4 Passages and converting the basics to Snow basics. Reason being if you can use BoED ability on either your Mutavaults or Havens (and dodging instant speed removal) you have a land card with the "can't lose opp. can't win" ability that they will need to take out with land destruction. Not a lot of LD being played at the moment.
I searched for an indestructible or hexproof angel you could enchant, there is only one and it is 7cmc unfortunately.
I suppose my last concern would be if you ran into a deck stonewalling you and you deck yourself out. Maybe a card or 2 in the SB that deals with shuffling the GY back into the library???
Whatever the case, it looks fun and let us know what you do.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

I'm not the biggest fan of Speaker of the Heavens. I would be tempted to -2 of those and +2 Realmwalker. Sure it ups your curve but it also ups your Angel count. Just a thought.

Unclaimed Territory could go well, but the list has some clerics that you want to add yes or yes once you draw them, because they aren't generic mana, and could interfere.
About results,I'm testing it on Cockatrice, but for now, all my games were like: mana screwed with 3 lands, or it can be competitive the rest of the games were I haven't been mana screwed. Hope I can test it more, but there aren't many Pioneer players there.
Remember Emeria's Call is not really taking up a card slot. It takes up one of the Plains land slot. I am totally agreed on Brave the Elements. That card has won me many a game.
Pioneer play is indeed down now. Test it when you can and good luck.

As all creatures (on the new list) are cost 3 or less, I added just a green splash for Collected Company.
Going to update first post with this new version.

Emeria's Call as a one of? Maybe sneak an Unclaimed Territory single copy in there as well??? Any results with either deck yet?
