Does this deck makes sense?

After [[badgemole cub]] and [[Ouroboroid]] came into the scene, the pioneer death & taxes lost it's charm. It's no longer a deck about slowing opponent down and denying resources through inevitability, and more about going over the top with mana and a wide board with some creatures that happens to have some extra utility. To be honest, I'm not even sure if white is the best pair for the elf-cub-roid shell, it was just the default for the death and taxes evolution.

After this minor rant, I was theory-crafting that black maybe the color that brings the resources denial strategy back. [[Lighstall Inquisitor]], [[Thoughseize]] and [[deep-cavern bat]] rips the opponents hand apart, while [[Thalia, guardian of Thraben]] and [[Archon of Emeria]] makes casting whatever left a bit more difficult. [[dark confidant]] substitute CoCo in its role as card advantage machine.

The truth is, I rather the deck to be mono white and and had more land resources denial like the original modern deck with [[Leonin Arbiter]], but this is not possible with the current pioneer carpool.

Anyway, what do you guys think? Is black the truth for D&T in pioneer? Should the elf-cub-roid deck be GR or another color?
