It feels so dumb to splash white and not have Swords. On the other side as soon as is start playing swords, the Punishing Fire is weekend or has to be removed.
I am not sure about the Eternal Witness.
The Tundra is just for postboard games against combo or burn.

I really like the deck, it looks really solid.

The only thing that feels wrong is that you're running Zenith AND 4 Goyfs. Usually, 4 Zeniths => fewer goyfs (usually 2) and a wider toolbow. However, I admit I'm basing this on other decks and theorycrafting, so I could be horribly wrong.

You could also add more White for Swords (as you mention). Knight of the Reliquary seems like a bomb in here. Dunno what to cut though.
