Also arbiter hinders you whereas Aven Mindcensor only hinders you opponent.

I do actually remember seeing storyteller on your SB and thinking it was decent tech. I'm not sure I prefer Abolisher to anything else I have in my SB but Mindcensor will be a straight swap.
Nice one.

Near identical to our lists, the inclusion of knight is interesting though.

fleshbag is a good tech, will have to find room for it.
I like his deck, the difference is that he has dropped the big threats like siege rhino and can for big cheap threats in knight and tarmogoyf, knight also means you could play fewer gavony townships, and also a one off ld in either tec edge or ghost quarter, which is cool. i will try knights out and report back.

Knight takes a surprising amount of deckbuilding cost, it means going up to 8 fetches(meaning you often do a lot of pain to yourself) and it makes your mana base different, and with less tapables, more sceptable to land destruction, and some of the one off lands you want to play, such as Sejiri Steppe and Bojuka Bog are just bad to draw a lot of the time.
Also the reason it is so much better in the legacy maverick deck that will adopt company, is mother of runes is able to protect it for the first turn, so that you can get some sort of value from it. Without mother, I don't think that it performs, other than it draws removal from your opponent (which is a different use in its own right) due to the fact it doesn't have a direct effect.
I am not including it and sticking with my siege rhinos instead as they are a big threat and have an amazing ETB effect. I would rather use company as a value/combo engine than a threat engine.

Another list doing ok, this one is very similar to our lists and now after further testing i think i am going to be dropping by big creatures that cant be hit by company, i will experiment with it and see how it does,

Ye, the two that have been good for me which you didn't mention are Heartwood Storyteller (which often acts like Standstill) and Grand Abolisher which means you are free to do whatever you want on your turn.
