Deck discussion for Venser bounce

I ran a deck similar to this for a little while, except is was a bit different. I ran a few control auras -- Narcolepsy, Paralyzing Grasp, and Arrest, as well as two Volition Reins. In any case, whenever a bigger threat presents itself, you can bounce the aura, and attach it to a different creature when it etb at eot.

IMO, Stoic Rebuttal should go. It'll do little good when your only Artifacts have sac mechanics. It's conditional, and in this deck too unreliable. And actually, if you like the idea of bouncing auras, you could replace the replicas for a few, and Stoic Rebuttal for Turn Aside. I think that would work well.

Also, I run two Contagion Engines in every deck I run with Venser. The ETB effect is incredible, and proliferating a Walker is always a sweet deal :)

And finally, with Sun Titans aplenty, I like running Evolving Wilds (even in mono white). If you've nothing else to grab from your graveyard, the Titan can always bring back a Wild to sac for another land, further reducing the landcount in your deck and increasing your odds of gaining a better draw (nobody likes topdecking land after they've already got enough mana established)

Just a few ideas, hope they help :)

Stoic rebuttal was basicly a Cancel with a perk, but I think I will swap for the turn aside like you suggested. that is a great idea for the Evolving winds, I haddn't thought of it, and it would give me the chance to drop the replicas all together for Aether Adept, Contagion Engine, and arrest. since i will still have a use for the sun titans without sac artifacts

Ohh! I didn't think of using them with Sun Titan.. that's why they were there.. :P Still, I think this looks much better.

You've also got plenty of mana. I think you could drop 1 of each Myr and 1 Plains (or maybe Silver Myr and 2 Plains) and add 3x Wall of Omens. The ETB card draw is excellent, especially as an early game defender and late game with Sun Titan and Venser allowing for multiple triggers.
