Deck Description

I first started this deck with Fiendslayer, Mutavault and Archangel of Thune. Build up creatures quick then buff them with Archangel and path of bravery. The Slivers fall in for life link and double strike. And of course there's extort.

Deck discussion for Life Host

I keep wondering if I should move Obzedat off my side board to my main deck but his casting is high. remove a fiendslayer, desecration and a tithe replace with 3 obzedat?

I think you're right in thinking to add in your Obzedat's however I would suggest some other things as well. I understand the point of the slivers however I would suggest some alternatives. This is just my opinion however so feel free to disregard any of it.

1. Add 2 Obzedat's and remove 2 Siphon Sliver's
2. Add 2 Debt to the Deathless's and remove the 3rd Siphon Sliver and 1 Bonescythe Sliver
3. Add 2 Dying Wish's and remove 2 Hive Stirrings's
4. Add 2 Pontiff of Blight's and remove 1 Mutavault and 1 Bonescythe Sliver
5. Add 2 Sanguine Bond's and remove 2 more Mutavault's
6. Add 2 Vizkopa Guildmage's and remove the 4th Mutavault and the 3rd Bonescythe Sliver

Obviously you could play around with what you add and remove but I think those 6 cards I mentioned would be great additions to either the main deck or sideboard. Hope this helps a little. :)

I did have prior to adding in the slivers Pontiff of Blight, Sanguine bond, and Debt to the Deathless. I removed those for the Slivers and have been deciding on which of the three would best suit my sideboard. I think the Slivers would be better for post rotation though?

I'm not sure what Theros will bring however either slivers or some of those other cards could work equally well; it just depends on how you want your deck to work. To be completely honest, I think that Sanguine Bond and Debt to the Deathless should definitely be in there. Obzedat can still be sideboarded as you have or you can move it to your main deck - it's kind of an on the fence card. I was taking a look as well, and you don't really need Orzhov Charm either - you could try sideboarding it as well and substitute in some other slivers if you wanted (Sentinel Sliver maybe?). I think your move of taking away Path to Bravery and adding in 2 more Hive Stirrings is a good idea (especially if you decide to keep the slivers in there), but I wouldn't completely get rid of it - Path to Bravery is still good enough to sideboard. It's a tough decision because there are so many options but just think of how you want this to work out. Obviously you need to think of the best synergies (ie: if you want slivers, add more to fill the gap). You have a good base, just need to tweak it a bit more I think, and decide on a final direction for your deck and it's purpose - creature abilities or spells and effects?

Obzedat is better in the sideboard as a control killer. You already have enough 5 drops. However if you really want to add him in. I would consider moving one of each of archangel and blood baron to put him in. You could also drop the path of bravery they seem extremely sub par. Your deck doesn't really need the anthem effect.

I have been toying with removing Path of Bravery and adding in another Hive Stirrings and Godless shrine. or just adding in two more Hive Stirrings.
