Puzzlebox seems ABSURD with it but not sure it's really needed in this Tithe deck. It's also just basically win-more, honestly. Ditto Heralds (maybe less so)..I just happen to own 2x and they seem so sweet. Those 4x could easily be 4x Etched Champion or something. The Antiquities War is mostly for giggles. I could also just split it 1x/1x with Revel in Riches too. So much cheese.
Ideas?
Too much spot removal for multiplayer. Having a couple spells is fine but 12 is way too much since you're going to run out of cards. I rarely-if-ever play more than 4 since I vastly prefer mass removal such as Sublime Exhalation and this is true even if I have some creatures myself. There's too many players playing too many threats for spot removal to shine so "less is more" when it comes to those types of 1-for-1 effects.
The mana is too inconsistent; you're going to struggle to cast your colored spells. I would snap play 4x Exotic Orchard and 4x Fellwar Stone in this deck. I've talked about this before but playing 4x Exotic Orchard, 4x Fellwar Stone and 4x Smothering Tithe enables you to reliably assemble all 5 colors. I wouldn't bother with Lotus Petal in a fair deck since it's only relevant if it's powering out a Tithe. Nothing else in your list is worth going down a card to cheat out.
Consider Baleful Strix as a 2-drop. It's a solid addition to these builds.
My biggest worry for your deck is that it basically only plays Magic if you have a Tithe. This means that virtually any removal spell is GG and there's also going to be a ton of games where you don't see one and those seem like they would be miserable to play. Cast anemic threats, make 1-for-1 trades and slowly lose. You might want to go less all-in on Tithe, or conversely, go more all-in and add additional cantrips/tutors/draw spells to locate it.
My thought on Smothering Tithe is that you don't actually need to build around it.
But if you DO go for the combo, you better be snaring a game-winning amount of mana from it quickly, because once people see your trick....

Windfall, Magus of the Wheel, Whirlpool Warrior, Wheel and Deal, Reforge the Soul & Winds of Change-types with Tithe are cute for mana production. They might help to find tithe too. Are you looking to just win on the spot via *I-win* cards, like Exsanguinate for example?
Personally, I'm going to start by popping Tithe into a white devotion build with Armageddon, with the aim of powering out a massive Martial Coup or about a scoop-town of angels from Luminarch Ascension.
