White Control

Trying to run a part control deck here with enough firepower from creatures to win the game with a tough offense as well.
Still stumped on the argument of Day or Divine Reckoning.
Offense:
Champion of the Parish (Almost solid humans so he does well), Mirran Crusader is here because he's great and with Dagger equipped he swings for 10, Angelic Overseer is one of the offensive fatties, Elite Inquisitor because for WW he's ridiculously good. Gideon's 6/6 ability is also a huge aspect of the offense
Draw Power:
Mentor of the Meek
Control:
Oblivion ring, Fiend Hunter, Bonds of Faith, Divine Reckoning, Gideon's Lawkeeper, Gideon's top two abilities, Sunblast Angel to work in conjunction with Lawkeepers and Gideon's ability
Equip/Enchants:
Silver-Inlaid Dagger - just crazy when you're running humans, costs hardly anything to equip and makes my Crusader's hit way hard. Bonds of Faith - another tribal card for the deck since we are running humans after all.
Main Deck (60 cards)Draw sample hand

3x Silver-Inlaid Dagger

Sideboard (15 cards)
Sideboard
3x Celestial Purge
3x Grand Abolisher
3x Nevermore

I need help on the sideboard to fill it I don't run white often enough.

Will this work?

Nope, Gideon doesn't enter the battlefield as a human and also when he becomes a 6/6 he doesn't mystically re-enter the battlefield, he's been there the whole time...Champion NEVER gets a trigger from Gideon Jura.

why not use Elspeth Tirel instead of Gideon if your somehow after adding counters to Parish... it can also combo well with your mentor :)

well you can forget about that coz i read Elspeth Tirel's ability again and it says "Put three 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens onto the battlefield." and it doesnt specify that its a human token so it wouldnt work with Parish =/ lol

here is my version of white control. it's built around control and tokens.

might help you with a few ideas. the deck description helps to understand why i picked everything i did. in my opinion day of judgement / divine reckoning both synergize very well with doomed traveler and mausoleum guard. but also imo mausoleum guard is too expensive for what he does which is why i threw in intangible virtues to strengthen the synergy.
