Would you suggest knight of the white orchid, topan free blade, or hanweir miitia captain in place or broken concentration. or should i just get shatter void to replace broken concentration and leave it alone

Something like Gisela, the Broken Blade could be good 1 or 2 of in the side board for its ability to win combat. Or even Thalia, Heretic Cathar because she synergizes with her Lieutenant and can slow the opponent down with her ability. Spell Queller may be of use as a way to further impede your opponents' plans. Perhaps an Elder Deep-Fiend for its ability to be flashed as a way to get damage through. Declaration in Stone is always good in 
decks. A Descend upon the Sinful/Planar Outburst/Tragic Arrogance or another similar card just in case you get behind. Fate Forgotten is a very nice card to have in your side deck for removing pesky artifacts/enchantments. Hallowed Moonlight can be a really good card against CoCo.
For the most part, you will need to see the meta you are playing in before finalizing the numbers.
I might start off with a sideboard like:
1x Gisela, the Broken Blade

I would play Void Shatter over Broken Concentration, sure the Concentration can be used if discarded, but Shatter exiles the card, which can prevent graveyard strategies/reanimator effects.
Of Knight of the White Orchid, Topan Freeblade, and Hanweir Militia Captain Flip, I would go with the Captain. It is less intense on your mana than the Knight, and has upside if you can get to 4 creatures. If you were to replace anything for those creatures, I would remove the Silkwrap since it's a narrow card.

What do you mean by broken concentration can be used if its discarded?
July 7, 2016 4:39 p.m.
It has madness, so if you discard it or an opponent forces you to discard it, if you pay its madness cost, you can cast it. In this deck, madness is virtually non-existent, so you probably won't want to use concentration.

Tenacity is a nice combat trick/pseudo-vigilance/life gainer that can cause a large shift in the game. Based on what your deck currently has, I'd say remove the Silkwraps for Tenacity

Dear Ryjo, I played in a tournament, I went 2-2, should have been 3-1 but player drew a great card. One think I kept running into was cards that wipe the whole field. Life this card that gives all creatures -4 -4. There were other cards. Not sure what to do about that accept hold the void shatter until they do it. Any suggestions.
I also took out the 4 immolation glares, I was never using them and I took out the 3 silk wraps for the same reason they were just sitting in my hand. I placed the 3 hanweir captains and 2 declaration of stones. I also added 1 hidden dragon slayer and one tenacity. I would like to add 4 dragon slayers to make my deck faster.
Any other suggestion to help win more and also to deal with the kill the field crap. Also, there iss a card someone used 1 white X colorless gain x colorless creatures. Do you know what it is and should I add it in my deck. I think it would go amazing with always watching, tenacity.

I think the wipe you were talking about was Languish. Eerie Interlude is a good sideboard card because if you cast it in response to Languish, you can exile your creatures until the end of turn, and when they return they will be unaffected.
I think the other card you are thinking of is Secure the Wastes, and it's a powerful card, especially with Always Watching and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar's emblem.

Languish is perfect. thanks
I only have 2 always watchings, should i get more and if so what should i take out, also, should i put secure the wastes and gideon and of so how many and what should I take out.
July 13, 2016 10:15 a.m.
I would say to side board the Declaration in Stones and Void Shatters. Then fill those slots with 2 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, 2 Secure the Wastes, and 2 Always Watching . Then make sure you side board a couple Eerie Interludes for use against sweepers.
July 13, 2016 12:20 p.m.
So you think 4 always watching then? also what about tenacity?
Also, I cant afford 2 Gideon Ally of zendikar at 22 dollars each right now. what should i do instead?
July 14, 2016 2:02 p.m.
Dragon Hunter is very good for some early aggro, especially if you follow it up with Always Watching .
Ryjo says... #2
I would say cut an Ojutai's Command. You only have 20 lands, so getting to 4 lands could easily take turn 5 or later to get to, and having too many of them in your opening hand could without the ability to cast them could leave you too far behind on tempo.
I would also recommend making a deck and linking to it, because the list makes it hard to read.
If you wanted to display one of your decks, say the one locate at http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/joshm/,you could write:
