Tapped Out just ate a hella-long response I had been working on. Very frustrating.

Short version is:

1) Definitely need to find a way to speed up/slow your opponent down. It's not Budget, but Blood Moon and a little shuffling of your land base might serve that purpose well.

2) Need to find a way to survive common board-sweepers like Pyroclasm , Anger of the Gods , Electrickery , Bonfire of the Damned , etc. without having to rebuild from scratch. The best options that come to my mind right now are in green, but I'm sure someone else will have ideas to offer up.

3) White opens up all of the best sideboard cards (like Stony Silence , Rest in Peace (not for you) and Leyline of Sanctity . With all the graveyard effects in the format right now, you should definitely put a set Relic of Progenitus in your sideboard as well.

4) Oketra's Monument definitely seems to have a place in this deck.

5) I absolutely hate it when people come in and start giving advice that's based on completely reworking the entire deck rather than trying to keep with the framework I'm clearly trying to establish, but it occurs to me that this deck might benefit more from green than red. It'll ramp up your mana base and offer broader protections like Heroic Defiance and Beast Within . Just a thought.

Hope that helps some!

I would run Sylvok Lifestaff over one of the Scimitar variants, and I'd throw in True-Faith Censer over the Heavy Mattock. Ward of Lights is another good protection enchantment, and I think Heroic Defiance could be really good.
