Parfait, modified From 11/26 list

[doomhed]

I have always had a soft spot in my heart for parfait, as a white control deck was the first deck I built all by myself (Swords, wrath, serra angel, moats, thunder spirits, tabernacle at pendrall vale, ETC). when I saw the deck that made T8 on 11/26, I was quite interested. The card that really made me happy was Lightning Helix. This card has been Extremely useful in both extended and legacy versions of scepter-chant. I have played parfait extensively, but I have not played it as of late much.

His Build-

Maindeck (62 cards):
3 Goblin Charbelcher
4 Isochron Scepter
1 Scrabbling Claws
3 Scroll Rack
2 Zuran Orb

2 Lightning Helix
2 Blood Moon

1 Balance
1 Decree of Justice
2 Disenchant
4 Swords to Plowshares
2 Argivian Find
1 Aura of Silence
1 Enlightened Tutor
2 Humility
4 Land Tax
1 Moat
4 Orim's Chant

1 Sol Ring
1 Lotus Petal
1 Mana Vault
1 Mox Diamond

2 Mountain
16 Plains

Sideboard (15):
1 Abeyance
1 Abolish
1 Blood Moon
1 Decree of Justice
2 Fire/Ice
2 Pyroblast
2 Pyroclasm
3 Rack and Ruin
1 Scrabling Claws
1 Tormod's Crypt

as you can see, there are few changes that have to happen. first, this deck needs only 60 cards. I also believe it needs another helix, as it is more useful early games against aggro/aggro control than the belcher is. belcher also dies to null rod, another reason why I am cutting one. the scrabbling claws would be better off as a phyrexian furnace or tormod's crypt. the 2nd disenchant has become a seal of cleansing (to allow enlightened tutor to grab it). I also cut 1 humility, as wrath will do the job and more.

What other ideas could we borrow from? this deck is heavily influenced by scepter-chant and oldschool parfait. I can see this decks better matchups being aggro/control, Dragon, Stax and Oath. it seems its biggest issues would be with gifts and possibly control slavery. I am thinking of a possible conversion sideboard into my old favorite parfait archetype, Confinement Parfait-

Possible Sideboard
3-4x Solitary Confinement
3x Squee, Goblin Nabob
1x Goblin Trenches (was always good in that version...might be suboptimal)

Also, I am willing to consider almost any changes and I am open to pretty much any new ideas available.

Any thoughts? questions? flames?

There's a couple of things i must put forward:
1) I'm from Italy and - i must admit - my english is not that good.. So i ask you not to scold me if i made a mistake in writing something..
2) In Italy, the use of proxies for tournaments is not allowed yet (with all the consequences that this involves)..

My version of Parfait:

::The Engine::
4 Land Tax
4 Scroll Rack
2 Claws Of Gix

::Me Trying to Control::
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Coretapper
2 Isochron Scepter

::Removals' Department::
4 Seal of Cleansing
2 Abolish
1 Engineered Explosives
4 Swords to Plowshares
1 Balance

::Protections & Tutors::
4 Orim's Chant
4 Abeyance
3 Argivian Find
1 Enlightened Tutor

::Somehow I Have to Win::
1 Goblin Charbelcher

::Mana::
14 Plains
1 Mana Vault
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring

Tot.: 60

Some explanations now.
Italian metagame is split into spoilered/unspoilered. So, since about 50% of the decks runs P9, the other 50% plays a 3x of null rod md..
Then, i have to do something to prevent or, at least, to contain the gift-decks' frightening starts, and at the same time i have to do something not to die when null rod comes into play..
That's why i chose to play a 4x of cotvs, and 6 (yeah, 6) artifact-removals md.
Straight after, i noticed that any cotv with a number of counters on it different from 0, the most of times, hurt me more than my opponent.. Besides i realized that putting a cotv with 2 or more counters on it within reasonable times, was impossible..
Coretapper allows me to have a cotv at 2/3 in play within the first 2/3 turns, and claws of gix allow me to get rid of chalices at 1/2 if i need to (still being a part of the engine)..
The 4+2 artifact-removals, with orim+abeyance+argivian backup, should prevent null rod from messing up my gameplan..
I didn't even think of a splash with red for blood moon, because in Italy Dragon/Oath/Stax are considered a minority, and Gift/T1TEvo/WuTang can easily sfetch for basics in the first turns and make my blood moon totally useless..
