B/G Constrictor possibly splashing white???

Standard Deck Help forum

So I've been messing around testing some decks to take to FNM and I have pretty much the stock list for the B/G Constrictor list. A big interaction in the deck was Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Winding Constrictor, with rotation Nissa will be gone. The list is still solid without nissa, and she may not be necessary with everything changing. However, I was thinking if the deck still wants this element there is Oath of Ajani available. This means going into white, but with Blooming Marsh, Concealed Courtyard, and Sunpetal Grove Abzan color fixing is available. Plus, if you produce energy Aether Hub is still available too.

My main question is what else does white offer the deck. I've been doing some searches and haven't found any creatures that stand out as far as interacting with the snake. I've seen some creatures that do good when counters are added to them (i.e. Adorned Pouncer) from other sources but need help from the other cards to be good and aren't necessarily good on their own. Maybe splashing white for cards like Ixalan's Binding or Cast Out might be good. I know enchantment removal is terrible in B/G right now and red can't do much either so most decks won't have answers even in their sideboard. It would also mean I wouldn't have to rely so heavy on the double black in Vraska's Contempt, but I'd also be running Walk the Plank and need the double black anyways.

What do you guys think? The mana base is there and shouldn't be a problem, but does white offer enough besides Oath of Ajani to the deck?
