Personally I don't like Wraithguard, shooty wraithknights, or fire prisms. The core threat in your list is the squad of 5 Wraithguard. Once they are neutralized, I don't really see any threats. That's my opinion though, your mileage may vary.

Here's a 1000 point list I like a fair bit:
105: Farseer w/ singing spear
160: 10 Dire Avengers w/ power axe (good in all situations) and shimmershield
110: 10 Guardians w/ bright lance
60: 5 Rangers
61: 3 Windriders w/ shuriken cannon
190: 10 Warp Spiders
96: 6 Swooping Hawks
210: 3 War Walkers w/ scatter lasers/starcannons

You could drop the rangers easily. With the extra points you can take another full squad of Warp Spiders (my second favorite unit out of the codex, hawks are my favorite but they're not as useful in the meta) and another guardian squad with BL. You could take the super-autarch (Mantle, Jetbike, Shard, Fusion Gun, Lance). You could take Wave Serpents...

It's hard for me to say, because I play a very different style of Eldar.

Anyway, the real thing you need to consider in a tournament setting is: How can I deal with fliers, being out-shootied hard by Tau, Farsight bombs, daemon speed and circus lists. Given the dramatic difference in threat level between the d-scythes and everything else, I don't see how you'll address Circus, shooty tau, or random fliers (especially heldrakes). I don't mean to suggest that my list is good at doing that either, I'm just raising the question.

Those are good questions. I see your point. I'll need to revise that list. I was only thinking of obtaining and trying to hold objectives.

I personally love scythe gaurd, but that's my opinion. I would trade DAs out for rangers, better objective campers.
