You have quite a bit of lifegain in here, which would interact well with Cat Collector. Would probably cut onw of the more vanilla cats for this one.

What's the intention of Urza's Saga here? With only seven artifacts, and only one of them is 0-1 mana, you're not getting a lot of value out of it.
I recommend finding a few more life gain payoffs. While having more life can be a good buffer, it doesn't mean anything if it just slows the game down. Archangel of Thune is higher-budget than most of the other cards here, but it's a cornerstone for this sort of deck. On the less expensive side, Cleric Class does a lot of things this deck seems to want, and Valkyrie Harbinger, Attended Healer, Cat Collector, Angelic Accord, and a few other cards at or below $2 turn life gain into more creatures.

I thought about going the token route before and decided that if I wanted to go there I'd have to lean too heavily into it to make it worth it. This deck doesn't really benefit large amounts of creatures so the only usefulness they would actually get would be their ETB on my lifegain to quick boost some creatures with +1's. That being said, there are still some cards I like in the selection you gave.
Cards that depend on large amounts of mana aren't going to go far in this deck so the Secure the Wastes is out, but the Grand Crescendo has utility in at the very least being a 2 mana response to board wipes so I like it. Call the Coppercoats would make for a good 3 mana surprise at instant speed for attacks and defense.
Cat Collector and Horn of Gondor are too slow when the point is to gain life or capitalize on instances of life gain. Other cards are cheaper or better and I wouldn't want to trade them out.
Myrel, Shield of Argive is also pretty slow on buildup, especially considering I don't have a soldier deck, but she's always still a good card to keep in a back pocket for white decks. A lot of turns will go by with me not quite reaching 5 life gain in a single turn so I don't know how useful Resplendent Angel will be, but she's only 3 mana so I'll hold on to her for a while and see how it goes. I would have to be topdecking lands on an empty hand to use her 6 mana ability most likely.
Without leaning more into mass creatures Leyline of Hope doesn't provide enough for 4 mana. I'll pop off with 1 or 2 10/10's and start swinging and that +2 doesn't change much. Nyx Lotus Looks like a good choice for this deck if i need more mana for the curve though.
All in all, I love the suggestions and thank you very much for looking over my deck. It is always appreciated.

Excellent looking deck, zelous666! I really like that you chose Hopeful Initiate and Reluctant Role Model; wasn't even aware these existed and they really add to the utilities the deck can make use of.
Considering the amount of cards you use to gain life based on creature-ETB, I was wondering how you'd feel about adding some cards that generate creature tokens. These could be permanents like Cat Collector, Horn of Gondor, Myrel, Shield of Argive or Resplendent Angel. One-shot deals could be fun too. Call the Coppercoats, Grand Crescendo and Secure the Wastes for example.
Other cards I could recommend would be Nyx Lotus, because of the massive devotion this deck can conjure up. Also, Leyline of Hope to double lifegain AND provide a nice anthem to your critters could be fun. Enjoy!
