Mana Tithe punishes a deck that frequently taps low to hold up Counterspell, cast Snuff Out, or dig with Lorien Revealed, letting you blank a key spell for a single white mana. Peach Garden Oath gains solid life off your wide, cheap creature base, buying time against their removal-and-card-advantage grind built around Thorn of the Black Rose and Baleful Strix. Clowning Around's token army is picked apart piecemeal by Snuff Out, Cast Down, and Agony Warp for poor value, so cut it; the lone Guardians' Pledge comes out too since it doesn't address a hand full of removal and permission. Dust to Dust and Thraben Charm stay boarded since their only artifacts are the artifact creatures Baleful Strix and Mukotai Ambusher, too narrow a target to dedicate slots against.
