Hello everyone. I woud like to know some comments on this deck. There is a few slots that needs to be filled with cards, so please respond. :'D

// Lands
4 Flagstones of Trokair
3 Inkmoth Nexus
3 Wasteland
4 Ancient Tomb
3 City of Traitors
2 Horizon Canopy
4 Plains
1 Karakas
//24

// Spells
2 Smokestack
1 Armageddon
2 Ravages of War
3 Trinisphere
4 Chalice of the Void
3 Crucible of Worlds
4 Mox Diamond
4 Humility
4 Moat
3 Elspeth, Knight-Errant
//30
Need to fill 6 slots - any ideas?

// Sideboard
SB: 4 Leyline of Sancticity
SB: 3 Pithing Needle
SB: 3 Powder Keg
SB: 3 Relic of Progenitus
Need to fill 2 slots any ideas?

I chose to replace Mishra's Factories with Inkmoths to speed up the kill. Equal 4/4 flying infects.
I also added 1 Karakas to bounce Emrakul, The Aeon's Thorn since alot of decks only is able to "cheat him into play once" and then fail their extra turn to recast him.

I placed 3 Relic of Progenitus in the sideboard based on the fact that Dredge decks now have gotten "Leyline of Sancticity" which allows them to be unhitable vs. Tormod's Crypt, Bojuka etc. (the only cards there is able to attack their graveyard now is Leyline of the Void and Relic of Progenitus.)

The 4 leylines in vs. burn, storm, discard and so fourth. Since our Ancient Tombs can cause alot of lifeloss and our "locks" sometimes need a few turns to function I've added them to protect me meanwhile.

The only thing Staxx has needed for while is a Draw-engine, many people changes from White to either black or blue staxx deck based on their need for a draw-engine. The people who still play white staxx or Dutch Staxx somethimes uses Crystal ball etc. But I don't believe in Crystal ball and is still searching for a satisfying draw-engine. I've added 2 Horizon Canopy because with a Crucible of Worlds it will make the deck able to draw two cards each turn at the cost of stopping the land drops. This isn't a good engine but it's the closets I've got to a "viable draw-engine."

24 lands is way to few. id say 26, maybe 27 when counting on your draw to come from canopies.
Adding som plains seems a decent idea, for more nonbasic-hate resistance.

Also, i would up the else+smokestack count to 4 on both.

When playing staxx you sacrifice your carddrawing/deckmanipulation options for sheer power from the stax elements.

I might be able to add 2 plains and hit 26 lands.

Smokestack seems fine with 3 I believe (but i'll test it with 4 :D)

What do you think, is white the way to go? so many build staxx in blue and black atm.

I also might re-switch the mishra factorys back in to replace the inkmoths seems like the 2/2 is too important as humility hit the board without a tight lock on them yet = moat.
