U/W Gideon Focus

i have been working on this deck for a while now. the ideal combo of the deck is to combine gideon with other cards (such as lightmine field and day of judgment) to create board advantage in my favor and then (ideally) swing with sphinxes to win. i also have a nifty mechanic going with deprive, halimar depths, and ponder along with wall of omens and knight of the white orchid to create a nice combo that allows me to control my draws and or cycle my deck on a regular basis. all of the cards listed in the deck list are cards i have successfully tested and found to have merit in the deck. unfortunately, i keep running into the dilemma of having too many cards in the deck. so, i turn to you all for suggestions. i only started playing very recently so my collection is not entirely the best. i have had great help from friends in acquiring many of the cards i do have. some of the cards for the deck are still being acquired. my only request is that any suggestions not include jace. i know that he will be a tremendous addition to the deck once i get him, but as of now, it will be a while til i acquire any copies of jace. thank you for your help!
