Nice build, this seems pretty good as a first draft.

I would get rid of the Gather the Townsfolks in favor of more Idyllic Tutors. Like, sure, it doesn't help more than one Tainted Remedy out at a time, but this deck 100% revolves around it so I think you should be making sure that you can play it in every single game. Plus having backups in case it gets destroyed can't hurt. And Gather the Townsfolk hasn't been that powerful in modern for quite a while.

Maybe you could replace the Vampire Nighthawk and Blessed Alliance (IMO your two weakest other spells) with another enchantment like Wound Reflection? That could seriously shrink your opponent's life total.

So, good deck so far, but these might help patch up the weaknesses.

Emerge Unscathed definitely needs main deck play, probably traded in for Blessed Alliance or Wisps (since it actively hinders your creatures by tapping them).

16 creatures is much too high for a spellslinger deck. You should cut all copies of Lagonna-Band Trailblazer.

Also, try some cards in the sideboard, like Shelter, and Rest in Peace for graveyard match-ups.

Some more cards that work nicely with Mavinda:
Blessed Alliance,
Fell the Mighty,
Ajani's Influence.

Also, Settle Beyond Reality isn't priced as bad as it might seem and repeatable removal with Mavinda.

I'd cut the bad stuff and lean 100% into the enemy lifegain theme. This means up to 4 Tainted Remedy plus 4x Kavu Predator , and cut Idyllic Tutor , Serrated Scorpion , Twilight Prophet , Gonti's Machinations , Roiling Vortex , etc.

I know Blessed Alliance and Rest for the Weary are used with Tainted Remedy, but the best cards with Remedy are ones that have a "drawback" that involves your opponent gaining life and Remedy/Kavu turn that drawback into an advantage. I see you already have Wall of Shards and Grove of the Burnwillows , which are classics. Some other ones are Oust , Fiery Justice , Solitude / Condemn , Devour Flesh with Nature's Claim for the sideboard. Alms Beast is also funny.

Blessed Alliance , Supreme Will , and Unsubstantiate could be pretty useful

Hi! Since you mentionned wanting a removal, here is my suggestion : Swords to Plowshares is probably the best in white in my opinion. Because I'm a (extreme!) budget player, I use alternatives and really enjoy Blessed Alliance , Condemn and Wing Shards to remove attackers. Chee

@Grubbernaut, thanks for your comment!

You think Blessed Alliance might work?

Here's what I found so far:

What happened to blue player's lands?!

Very useful if I don't want to be hurt, and it reflects damage onto creatures.

I could easily use this when I finally get my Jegantha going and use this card:

I can use this to untap Jegantha, only to tap her again, thus having two chances to cast cards that are above my manabase cost as long as Jodah lives.

Great for instants and sorceries.

Greatly weaken your opponent while gaining even more life.
