@deathandcatmix I am a fan of your B/W Taxes, have you tested shadow of doubt?
looks useful to throw people off in game 1, synergistic with ghost quarters and path and at worst cycles itself.
I've had some board states where they had the mana to pay for leonin arbiter so I couldn't disrupt them as much. Could it work as a 4th arbiter? You mentioned before that 4 sometimes felt too much especially in the late game.
Double black at any time that would be relevant is too much to ask in either of our WB lists. The black is a splash, heavier in his than in mine, but BB before T4 isn't something that should be planned on. It's also a spell and has all the negative things that come along with that. It does nothing but inhibit search, Mindcensor would probably be better since it's more castable/vialable and still comes with a body attached. That said, Mindcensor hasn't made the cut in either of our lists.
That's right, I forgot about that guy. Yes he's much better here, thanks

Hey guys, LSV put up a series of videos on youtube where he plays this (stock list, not the Twin version). Good to see it get some more love from the pros.
Is he really running the 1 Leyline of Sanctity without a way to cast it? How hard would someone mulligan to get that in the opener?
I've moved away from brave the elements as I'm trying to be more proactive. It felt good to have them at the right time to stop an abrupt decay but felt a little sad as a combat trick. Also doesn't affect black sweepers.
So far I'm digging shining shoal. Usually I pitch spectral procession or archangel of thune and redirect their bolt to their delver. Or saving a few guys from pyroclasm/anger and point that damage at their face. Pitching the archangel to me feels perfect as I never want to see her in my hand early
Elspeth is good to maintain pressure after a board wipe and pump a Serra ascendant.
I don't think brave the sands works with our deck, I typically use our life buffer to race them. I'd rather use honor of the pure instead as it has more board impact.
Kitsune ascendant seems interesting but isn't mark of asylum just as good without jumping through hoops?
With Collected Company decks poping up everywhere, soul sisters can be on the rise again. I played against an Elves deck and he killed my Affinity deck on turns 4 and 5 (so 2-0). I can see Soul Sisters having a good matchup against these decks. Our Wrath effects would beat them pretty bad. Mirran Crusader could be MD.

Or is a turn 1 sleight of hand / serum visions too important?
It also doesn't play well with early harvest.
I don't feel they do enough as they can generate a lot of mana.
2x Wrath of God for me along with 4x mainboard Path to Exile is the best I've come up with so far.
Currently I'm testing Tom Ross tech - 2x Shining Shoal
Other than Wrath of God, what else could we use vs. elf ball? Day of Judgment doesn't stop regeneration from Ezuri, Renegade Leader
Also path to exile their key ramp elves
