I took your add white suggestions and came up with this balance.
What do you think?
I can't quite seem to shake it down to 60. Or find room for Duskmantle Guildmage.
Azorius charm giving lifelink to a 15+/15+ Consuming Aberation seems like a strategy to help win games though. :D

  The deck needs Duskmantle Guildmage. Activating its first ability twice, then using Jaces' (0) results in an insta-kill. But, you're only running one Jace anyway, so it should be ok. Also, where are the Nephalia Drownyards? You could justify a few of them, the only super mana intensive early game cards you have are the charms. Also, soul tithe is going to be super brutal in this deck. I mean beyond super evil. Consider it a white doom blade that hits non-land permanents.

    Nephalia Drownyard?
    Simply hadn't thought of it!
    
    And yes, whatever I put Soul Tithe on will die. I can only hope that they pay to keep it alive. Only problem is late-game and if they control the board, and can afford to may for it. But I'm not too concerned about that yet, without having even played this.
    
    What do you recommend I take out to put in Duskmantle? I can't even get this to 60 as is!
