I would have added "sacrifice a land: Thantis is indestructible until eot" to make it land-matter and able to survive the forced combat and removals
Oh man that + can block more than 1 creature (even if it was just 1 additional creature) would have me playing it in a heartbeat.
Edit: Also, I think Windgrace and Saheeli are fine. Not crazy good but good enough. They do what I want to do with walkers in the zone which is play lots of board wipes. Saheeli fits in well with that strategy by rewarding you when you play noncreature artifacts that survive board wipes and Windgrace is pretty decent resource generation. Saheeli is actually a pretty stupid good Stax General
Thantis, the Warweaver has a similar problem imo. I want to like him so bad, but his cmc just seems too high to me. Im only going to be able to cast him once or twice per game at that cost and its just not enough of an immediate impact for a 6 drop if someone has the removal.
