Out of curiosity, why did you choose Brion Soutarm for this list? Sure he's a 4/4 with lifelink for 4 when it comes down to it, but that's still a 6 turn clock and I don't see a ton of things to throw in the list. I don't know a ton about Stax so I am just wondering if I'm missing something.
Yeah, landing Brion isn't really the point of the deck. He's there for the colors. Worst comes to worst, he's a solid (and cheap) back-up plan. That and in my local playgroup he's like "my" commander. The deck is mostly about resource denial for my opponents.
I've seen it, I just didn't know if there was something about the archetype that Brion contributed towards I was going to say that considering you run a fair number of artifacts, Jor Kadeen might be a better finisher given that he only has a 3 turn clock. But if he's 'your' commander in the playgroup, then I rescind my useless advice!

I figured you had, but I thought it would explain the general deck idea better than I could. I honestly think if I ran another Boros general, my friends would disown me. The "useless advice" is still appreciated!

There's a pretty good thread on the stax deck style, if you haven't checked it out.
