I think of them I think the Jitte will fit your build the best. It generally works nicely in conjunction with stax builds as you can push harder on keeping creatures out of play.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
Death Match: Overcosted for what it does. I wouldn't touch that really.
Umezawa's Jitte: Very very good equipment that is criminally underused in EDH. If you have space for more equipment it's a good one to run, since it serves as removal too.
Mana Vault: Great early game acceleration and the 1 damage per turn doesn't hurt much if you don't choose to untap it. I'd say yes.

Probably right about Death Match, not really needed. Will most likely squeeze Jitte in seeing as i've had success with it in the past, and vault will go in for testing.
White: Elspeth, Sun's Champion-Definitely a shoe-in for the deck. High cmc is annoying, but all of her abilities are relevant to our game plan. Ray of Dissolution-A decent option if your meta game sees an overwhelming amount of enchantment decks. Heliod, God of the Sun-Initially, I wasn't super excited for this guy. The more I look at him however the more I want to test. Great cmc, relevant(albeit a little expensive) ability, also is an enchantment so it helps sanctum and is easily recurrable.
Black: Erebos, God of the Dead-Super great card, not sure if it fits the deck however. We usually take a good bit of self punishment, and usually have decently sustained draws. Grey Merchant of Asphodel-Again, great card. Not so much here with our lack of ways to abuse it. Hero's Downfall-This I can get behind. Instant speed, versatile removal. Read the Bones-Love it. Scry 2 and draw, and the 2 life is sort of irrelevant as a one time payment.
Multi: Ashen Rider-Great card, but we have no real ways to abuse it in this deck. Triad of Fates-Decent alternate general, that's about it.
Also, some other changes.
-1 Dark Confidant
+1 Land Tax
I felt with Dark Tutelage already, we didn't need to hurt ourselves anymore, especially with Confidant's "liability" of being a creature. Tax lowers the avg cmc and helps us recover after a wipe/hit land drops.
-1 Wayfarer's Bauble
+1 Nihil Spellbomb
I love Bauble, but I was at a loss on what else to cut here. Needed some more grave hate, and the cantrip is nice.
Personally, of those choices Heliod seems the most..... questionable. The mana per token is somewhat high is my biggest concern with him for a somewhat stax build. I am not saying it is wrong, but its something I would say is questionable.

Yeah, i'm probaby hyping him up more than he's actually worth. Only testing will tell. I have high hopes. What do you thin about the other changes? Anything from the set I missed?
Rescue from the Underworld is a strong effect to think about but you are so creature light that I dont think it merits any real consideration in this list.

Lets take a look at Theros:

-1 Angel of Despair
+1 Vampiric Tutor
Lowering the avg cmc, and adding another tutor to our arsenal.
-1 Night's Whisper
+1 Read the Bones
A strict upgrade, I feel.
-1 Call to the Grave
+1 Elspeth, Sun's Champion
Call was always kinda meh when played. Elspeth is just awesome.
-1 Sigil of the Empty Throne
+1 Heliod, God of the Sun
One token producer for another, also lower cmc.
-1 Wayfarer's Bauble
+1 Nihil Spellbomb
I love Bauble, but I was at a loss on what else to cut here. Needed some more grave hate, and the cantrip is nice.
-1 Loxodon Gatekeeper
+1 Hero's Downfall
Downfall is just too good not to run. Loxodon has felt win-more lately.
That's really all I see from Theros. Agree? Disagree?
