Sideboard Tex 'n' Mex —Jan. 14, 2014
Dropped Lifebane Zombie to run full playset of Thoughtseize, due to it being more versatile, and I don't really need more creatures.
Also decided to include a full playset of Rootborn Defenses to help with removal and wraths.
I like the direction this deck is going; it's becoming far more consistent and works a lot better within the idea I had originally built this for.
Thanks to everyone in the comments for their help, wish me luck and good luck to you :D
@RareLaboratoryI think Gods Willing and to a certain extent, orzhov charm are for spot removals. I sideboard a Boon of Erebos if my opponent has a bunch of removals. For Esper controls, I recommend siding Sin Collector & Thoughtseize or Duress

kay19 thanks for basically summarizing it :) Rare, pretty much everything kay said. Keep in mind a good standard deck is constantly shifting and experimenting, and I'm currently exploring Rootborn Defenses and Thoughtseize in the side, with Gods Willing and Orzhov Charm in the main.
Kay, as for Sin Collector and Boon of Erebos, I will definitely experiment with them in the coming weeks :D Thanks for the idea.

Lifebane Zombie isn't something I think you need in this deck. With 4x Agent of the Fates, you shouldn't have trouble dealing with creatures, and this could be a slot for something against control (Duress? Sin Collector?)
Immortal Servitude seems very out-of-place in a deck that isn't made to utilize it. Do you play it X = 3 and get back a couple creatures? What strategy does that defeat? If its a transformative sideboard card then I would focus on it a bit more, but if its just for mass removal or lots of spot removal, then there are better cards for you, such as Rootborn Defenses.
Thoughtseize could surely play in the mainboard, as there are very few decks that it's weak against (Maybe just RDW or another hyper-aggro)

Could you describe the uses of the cards in the sideboard, and essentially cover a plan to beat the tough decks? (i.e. MonoBlack Devotion or Esper Control) You seem to have a solid creature strategy lined up, but many of the cards mainboard just aren't all that against anything with spot removal.
