Like the title says, I need some help deciding whether my average CMC of 3.15 for one of my decks (60 cards) is too high. It's a monowhite soldier deck centered around throwing tokens onto the field and buffing them with cards like Field Marshal. I'm making it just so I can play it with friends, so I'm not looking for peak efficiency, but I don't want my deck to be too slow.
Here's the deck: Monowhite Soldier-Spam
First: you want more 4-ofs.
Second: Crusader of Odric, Angel's Feather, Safe Passage, Holy Armor, and Fencing Ace are going to slow you down. You can drastically speed up your deck by cutting some of these and swapping out for Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Boros Elite, and Champion of the Parish (most of your guys are humans except for the 1 or 2 kithkin).

sylvannos For whatever reason, tappedout redirected the link to a deck of similar name, so I changed the my deck's named and remade the link. If you can check it now, I'd appreciate it.

@AShadyZebra: Ah okay, gotcha. Oddly, your guys' lists are similar, so the same ideas still apply. While soldiers, most of your creatures are still humans. Champion of the Parish and Boros Elite are all-stars.
Since you're not playing Modern or anything, you can also play Honor of the Pure as well as Crusade. Either will be stronger than Cathars' Crusade due to speed.
You might also try Decree of Justice over Conqueror's Pledge. For one, it can't be countered. And two, it draws you a card. Conqueror's Pledge does cost less for more tokens, so that's always a plus. Maybe run both?
Other cards I didn't mention before are:
