Took me a long time to put together Todd Anderson's deck from Pro Tour KTK, but I'm nearly there. The main things I'm missing are one Mana Confluence, two Phyrexian Revoker, 2-3 Temple of Enlightenment (I can borrow one from an EDH deck), and the Master of Waves playset.

One issue, however, is that most of the deck is pre-Fate Reforged and DTK. I replaced a few cards with newer options for the moment; Pacifism is way better than the Singing Bell Strike Anderson had, Encase in Ice is a great sideboard card tutorable by Heliod Pilgrim, and I just traded for the Narset Transcendant and am seeing how she does in place of the Ajani Steadfast for now. However, I'm not sure what other cards might be good that have come out since then. Valorous Stance gives a little more flexibility than Gods Willing, but Gods Willing scrys and protects from exile spells where Stance doesn't. Sage's Reverie looks like a good way to dig through the deck, but it's expensive and doesn't offer evasion. I also feel like I should have three more Pacifism in the board, and I may or may not want more Encase in Ice to deal with red decks and Siege Rhino. I'm still dubious about the set of Stratus Walk, as it doesn't seem to do a whole lot at the moment.

I'd love some suggestions for updating the list and tuning the board for the current Standard metagame (or at least my FNM's metagame, which seems to be a lot of mono-red, from what I hear). This deck has sounded like a load of fun, and I'd like to take it to at least a few FNMs before rotation.
