Ok so here's my new human deck that I plan on playing at my FNM this week.  (hopefully they have all been building to counter my infect deck which won last time)
Anyway, it's currently siting at 80 cards, and I'd like to see if you guys have any ideas on maybe how to make it more effective.

I've put everything i've considered using into the sideboard so you can see what I have to work with. I have left out plenty of black and such as its been running predominantly white.

You have about 15 hours!
See what you can do

I'm also interested in thoughts on the strategy of running {evolving wilds} and {swamp}s vs s{himmering grotto}
Ofcourse dual lands would be king, but I just don't have any.

Also interested in thoughts if I should run the {caged sun} (I'm pretty sure I only have one)

A few other cards that I did consider early on but I removed were: (I have 2 of each)
{Chalice of life}
{Steel Hellkite}
{Executioner's hood}

I wouldn't bother with the {Caged Sun}.  You have no outlet for 12 mana and all it would really do is give +1/+1, which you could do better in other ways.
Take out {Elixir of Immortality}, it's not a competitive card.  You won't need {Manalith} with {Evolving Wilds} and if you only need to slash black for Sorin and the Vault, go with the Grottos, they'll slow you down less than swamps and wilds.

[Wally]

Ahh yea the outlet for the cage I was thinking the steel Hellkite

I might just keep 2 swamps in there to hopefully give me a decent ratio of getting a black land.

Pulling the others and updating now.

[BlackJester]

Lose the {Heavy Mattock} too.  3 to cast and 2 to equip is too much for +2/+2.  Swap them for Inlaid daggers if you can.

[Wally]

K I'll pull em out.
I don't have any more of those daggers tho
Might be able to dig up a {varidian claw} or two tho?
Or another trep blade.

Go trep.

I don't like trep blade it is to costly to use.  {avacyns color} is a good card if you are looking for equipment and it is cheap to cast and equip.  Personally if I am paying 3 to cast and 2 to equip....it is going to be a sword not a trep blade.

I have two of those collars somewhere should I put them both in?

Also what are thoughts on the flail, the demonmail hauberk and the scythe? Vs said blade?

[cltrn81]

No to all those you asked about.  The flail is good on a pumped unblockable but I would not use it in anything but an unblockable.  2 avacyns collar could be helpful if you are looking for cheap equipment.

[Wally]

Updated. I snuck in some {viridian claw}s too. I pulled them from other decks.
My thinking was, lifelink and deathtouch are great with first strike.

On that note. Thoughts on {bladed pinions}

Also should I add the parallel lives now that I have the shimmering grottos for the off chance I can play it?

[Wally]

This has all been very equipment based, so I take it my balance between creatures and other is ok?

[Wally]

Not long now, I guess we will see how it plays out.

Sideboards can only be 15 cards max.
