Personally.... I'd find a way to add more captivating vampires and weasel in a play set of Vampire Nocturnus. In mono-black vamps, he wrecks days. +2/+1 and flying so long as top card is black for all of your creatures, hard to argue with.

How does hero attack for over 30?

But yeah, overseer is garbage. But mono white humans needs to be QUICK. Otherwise you get curb stomped.

And adaptive automaton? It's cute, but too easily dealt with. Try Honor of the Pure. Less destruction of enchantments in standard than artifacts...

Coat of Arms isn't standard legal and Spare from evil is terrible in the mirror match.... Just a thought.

There really isn't a way to get him out quickly. He's 6cmc. He's huge. And with 4 of them in the deck, you're going to run into him as a dead draw far too often...

Drop the overseer for another hero in mainboard and in sideboard, drop the porcelain legionnaire for abolishers. Drop the mentors for another crusader and another mayor.

That's what i'd do personally. The mentor isn't as good as everyone thinks he is, and the hero brings a ton of firepower if you can get her out and protect her. Better than the overseer at least. You want more crusaders because of how absolutely ridiculous they are and the mayor's pump ability is fantastic so long as you can keep him human side. Abolisher is an amazing card in standard as he screws over just about anything that needs to be done on your turn by opponents.

I'm not a huge fan of mikaeus or geist-honored monk, but they're not bad cards. So I won't say anything about them. Why relentless though? Isn't Wildspeaker better?

Why so many of the planeswalker Sorin? You'll run into him too frequently that way, won't you?

I'll have to test out the dispatch a little more. It's fairly limited in that it only zaps creatures away, but it does work rather well... Going to have to shuffle a bit. Hero of bladehold is in the sideboard. She's good for when I need to punch a little harder and with a bit more width, but usually the crusader does the job just as well.

Thanks for the suggestions, though! I'll try them out!

Also, no curse? Curse of stalked prey will help put those +1/+1s on quicker.....

I have a deck built solely for testing out decks like this. See if you have an answer to everything here. If you don't figure one out and use that for sideboard help. Also keep in mind what other decks you might face. Pod is common. Humans a REALLY common. Sideboard should have answers to those decks/cards that are powerful in those decks.

Here's my test deck. (It is legacy, that's all I build. But it'll still be helpful.) http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=264500

Maybe make use of an obliterator or two?

Throw myr matrix in for infinite myr spawning with the infinite mana combo. I love these decks and have built one for myself. It's one of the most fun, if one of the more stupid, decks that I've built.

Maybe a Diabolic tutor in order to have more chances of grabbing the obliterator?

Honestly, I'd cut the mentors all together. They're just not as good as everyone thinks they are. Late game, you should be dropping bombs. Ones that are too big for the mentor or enough of the little things that the mana being spent is on your creatures and not card draw.

As said above, the overseers aren't bad. But they're expensive and you should add no more than two unless you want to run into them really often.

As for the automaton..... They're cute, but they die easily. I run them in my humans for the sole reason that they are artifacts and that's how my deck runs, but otherwise they are too easily destroyed. Burn, shattered, doom blade...... Just too much hate and too easily done.

-2 abolishers, -2 mikaeus, +4 mirran crusaders. It'll add some offense to your deck without hurting it too bad. Also too many of a legenday is not necessarily a good thing. If you run into them too frequently, you'll end up with a dead draw...

And why sword of feast and famine? The extra mana won't help as much when you have no instants. And the second main phase won't be as effective of a drop as you don't have many super low cost humans. Try instead war and peace? Humans should be a quick deck, especially in white. You'll get some nice damage on them from their hand still being pretty full. Plus it's half the cost (In $) as opposed to feast and famine.

Would work pretty well. Vorinclex is huge, but he really is only good for screwing others over and offering you a surplus of mana... Drop him out and the pod should still work and you get to field wipe, sac it into a sheoldred and then wipe again with her pull back.

Try side boarding go for the throat in case you face a black deck. Also, maybe shatter for use against artifact heavy decks?

You're probably right. I was running a ton of war chiefs due to the fact that they make the deck cheaper to play. I should probably swap out at least one for one, huh? (I really can find either one whenever I please due to matron.)

Thanks for the suggestion though! Any more help would be awesome!

Honestly, most pod decks are running U/W/G, so yeah.... It would work rather well. But it's far from original.

I like the idea of a black pod if you're going to try for it. I really recommend massacre wurm as your 6 drop though. Field wipe is nice....

Might want to try ethersworn canonist. It'll throw a serious wrench in some other decks plans, but seeing as how you're running a deck full of artifacts, you shouldn't have a problem at all throwing out a piece of metal every turn.
