Hello guys,
Don't wanna read about the idea behind the deck? Take a look at the deck and tell me how you would thin it down to 60 cards.

I made a post more than a week ago asking for help with refining a modern mana/angel deck.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to partially go a completely different route, and break up the base for the deck a bit more.
This is the deck how it is now, but since the concept im thinking of is so different, I think I will post it as a seperate deck, and refer to this deck as the more defensive variant (will still get some tweaks though).

The whole idea of this deck is to create as much mana as possible with extrplanar lens and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. And with every modern white deck, it runs 4 Path to Exile.The main problem for a lot of years has been that the deck took a while to get online, I think I found the perfect answer for this:
Creatures with the level up ability. It provides a creatures for a relatively low amount of mana, and will scale later into the game based on how much mana you have. The cards I want for this deck are Student of Warfare and Transcendent Master.
For some extra early game power (since a big number of modern deck play for an early game victory) as well as some protection for my creatures once the get big, I want to play Spellskite and Eight-and-a-Half-Tails. The latter can protect all my permanent in the late game, as well as making them unblockable. Also works well with Spellskite since I can change all target of burn spells to Spellskite, and after that make Spellskite get protection for white and make al spells that target him white. (Checked with judge, is possible).
So with that, my early game (in terms of low CMC) looks like this:
4x Spellskite
The last card of that list Restless Apparition is a new card that I really would like to test, works well with a lot of cards in this deck. A good mana outlet that combo's with Rogue's Passage and 3 devotion to Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx.
Those are 29 cards, which is just too much.
Except for early game cards, I also have late game cards, and just straight out mana sinks.
For the late game cards, I was thinking of this:
Only 11 cards, but maybe some can be cut.
Mana sinks:
So how would you thin this deck down to 60 cards? Do you think it has any potential?Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions are greatly appriciated!
