What's the black for? I would suggest splashing green instead and run  {Gaddock Teeg},  {Knight of the Reliquary}, and  {Qasali Pridemage}.

{Spellskite} is an interesting add. Not a conventional choice, but I really like it, especially now that {Splinter Twin} decks are getting so popular. What was your reasoning being using it?
Also, may I suggest {Phyrexian Revoker} for SB. It is amazing against Pod, Eggs and many other decks.

I'll definitely add the revoker to the sideboard. Spellskite is there to protect my beaters from removal and to mess with a few deck types. Since it can disrupt how a person plays game 1 and helps me by default I decided it had a place Mainboard.

I think Smiter is a solid card, especially since Thoughtseize and {{Inquisition of Kozilek}} aren't may abilities. Also, not a fan of Spirit of the Labyrinth MB. You're looking to hit, what, {{Sphinx's Revelation}}, sometimes {{Cryptic Commas}}, if you're lucky {{Electrolyze}}, and {{Think Twice}}?
You're right, labyrinth is a sideboard card for sure. What is smiter?

Oh yes. I can see that fitting in quite nicely..

Any suggestions?
This is stupid and if you wish to ignore it do so but maybe splash blue for {Grand Arbiter Augustine IV}. Also maybe try a {Chancellor of the annex} to piss the crap out of a lot of decks

I really like both cards but death and taxes is a weenie based deck using ability a like thraben and gaddock to stifle opponents play. They wouldn't fit very well unfortunately.

Maybe if you didnt have to splash arbiter would be tight, but definitely not worth blue for it him

Boseiju with nothing it can be used for seems bad..

No  {Leonin Arbiter} or  {Brimaz, King of Oreskos}?
