Gerrard's verdict lets the opponent choose, this is bad. Replace it with a one drop like duress, or thoughtsieze if you have no budget.
edge of the divinity is only good with nip gwyllion or mourning thrull. It's a very fragile combo really. If you wanted to keep it in, which you shouldn't (this isn't a WB Nightsky deck) you'd need to run 4 edge for consistency. Personally I'd drop all of the above for more control bits. Honor of the pure is also kind of meh--it's a pure aggro card, and the hymns and creature base suggest you are trying to be a little more midrange.
So, add more control. Blood baron is great and should top your curve. Toss some vampire nighthawks in there. Add 2-3 low cost equipment. Run a good 10 1-mana drops, mostly control cards since you want to lock out and disrupt the early game. (duress, cabal therapy, innocent blood, swords to ploughshares) If you can drop underworld connections for phyrexian arena, not tying up a land every turn is great too, especially since you only run 20 (i'd go as high as 22)
fiendslayer is bad. Knight of Meadowgrain has all the relevant abilities for less mana. Also decide if you want to be more black or more white, since on turn 2 you will most likely have either WW or BB but not both
The problem with Phyrexian Arena would be scarcity. Can't find them anymore. I'd prefer to keep Fiendslayer Paladin to be honest. Red and Black hit somewhere hard locally for me so I'm keeping it.
I'm not running Equipments at all, would rather not run them at all.
Keeping Gerard's Verdict since that card has saved me quite well whenever needed, giving me extra lifegain when he's forced to discard lands and grind the game out.

Any suggestions to make it better? I'm not sure if I'm running enough control elements, or messing up somewhere so feedback is necessary.

What's the Nightsky Mimic route?
Cabal Therapy is a maybe. Thoughtseize is way out of budget.
Originally this was supposed to be lifelink based, however ended up somewhere on a midrangish with a lifelink theme.
