My G/W Enchantment deck, What do you think?

4 x Aura Gnarlid
4 x Yavimaya Enchantress
4 x Kor Spiritdancer
4 x Silhana Ledgewalker
4 x Ancestral Mask
3 x Rancor
3 x Armadillo Cloak
4 x Canopy Cover
3 x Ethereal Armor
3 x Spirit Mantle
2 x Sterling Grove
2 x Ghostly Prison
4 x Selesnya Guildgate
8 x Plains
8 x Forest

I like the flicker but since Gatecrash Dropped I've been looking at Gift of Orzhova and may use that. The problem with the Sphere is its high cost, in this deck if you get 5 mana you want to use it to cast multiple spells a turn. The 2 penalty with the prison works well here because you just need to slow them down, you don't really need to stop them completly. I Don't like the Mystic here because while her ability is great, she basically just sits there. All my creature choices are aggressive in that they have either self pump, evasion, or both. I originally had O-rings in here but swaped them for the Ledgewalkers because I needed more creatures and the where hard to get rid of, I may put them back in though. I don't like the thicket simply because I don't want to add anymore ETB tapped lands and I can't afford the better Dual Lands.

I'm surprised that you don't have either Mesa Enchantress , Verduran Enchantress or Enchantress's Presence in.  The only way you can draw extra cards by casting aura's is by putting them on the Spiritdancer.  Anyone of these would allow to draw more cards when you cast them on other creatures.

This is what i currently trying, how's it look?

4 x Aura Gnarlid

3 x Armadillo Cloak
4 x Canopy Cover
3 x Ethereal Armor
3 x Abundant Growth
2 x Sterling Grove
4 x Selesnya Guildgate
8 x Plains

Also i have dowsing shaman in my aura deck, which is handly but i always think its a big high costing.

If you don't like the High cost of the Shaman you may want to look at Rofellos's Gift , I don't know what format your deck shoots for but it's a card I've been considering.

well, Kor Spiritdancer draws cards for any Aura spell, not just any enchantment, so you need something like Mesa Enchantress to draw cards off your other enchantments.

something like   Cage of Hands , Temporal Isolation or Faith's Fetters makes more sense than Ghostly Prison in that sense because they are Auras and can be usd to buff your spirit dancer and draw cards.

Umbra Mystic is just plain awesome, especially if you combine her with more rancor effects like Spirit Loop and Aspect of Mongoose (which I think is better than Canopy Cover for that reason).

Since I'm considering Dropping the Prisons for a more aura based removal like Pacifism or one of your suggestions, that would leave me with only 2 non-Aura Enchantments which isn't too big of a loss to the dancer. With the way this deck is geared and with the other suggestions, would some kind of aura removal be better or worse than adding Oblivion Ring s? If I do end up adding more auras that return like Rancor I think I'll add the Mystics but for now I don't think I'll waste the money trying to get any, also I like the Covers because they offer evasion as well but if I do change it over the aspects will be awesome.

I'm thinking of swaping in Champion of Lambholt for the Yavimaya Enchantress , as most times just slapping an Ancestral Mask on her would make all my attackers unblockable. I was also thinking of switching this to mono-green, what do you guys think?

I understand the reasoning for Abundant Growth being in there to draw to cards when it comes into play but Utopia Sprawl would be way better.  The growth only allows you to produce one mana when you tap a land while the sprawl allows you to produce 2 mana.

The reason I was using the growth was just for mana fixing not acceleration, and the card draw was just a bonus. however if I can get them, the sprawls would help alot more.
