Rules Q&A
Baleful Eidolon
Enchantment Creature — Spirit
Bestow (If you cast this card for its bestow cost, this is an Aura spell with enchant creature. This becomes a creature again if this is not attached to a creature.)
Deathtouch
Enchanted creature gets +1/+1 and has deathtouch.

Baleful Eidolon is missing the Enchantment type.

Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar and Baleful Eidolon could give more Deathtouch. I like Flaming Sword for surprise First Strike.

It should also be pointed out that enchanting a creature (or other game object) isn't an inherent property of all enchantments, but rather a specific ability you'll find printed on (or errata'd for older cards) Auras, and on creatures via the Bestow ability.
Raid Bombardment, for example, is an enchantment, but you can't use it to enchant a creature because it doesn't have the "enchant creature" ability.
Curse of Verbosity is an aura, but you can't use it to enchant a creature because the relevant ability is "enchant player," not "enchant creature." Abundant Growth is an aura, but says "enchant land," not "enchant creature."
Meanwhile Aether Tunnel does have "enchant creature," and thus can be enchanted to a creature. Same with the Bestow ability on Baleful Eidolon (note that Bestow says "it's an Aura with enchant creature").

Oh if you don't like brain maggot then Gnarled Scarhide, Baleful Eidolon, Spiteful Returned or Nighthowler would all be fine...

I'm not the best at making EDH decks. Here's a website that shows recommended cards for EDH decks, based off of other people's decks: edhrec.com
However, briefly looking through the deck it looks like you have generic cards in there that don't really have synergy with your commander like Baleful Eidolon or Marang River Skeleton. You might want some more lands since a typical EDH land base is around 36-42 lands. Since have very few ways to ramp, you'll to up your lands and draw-power. Also you don't have that many cards that can protect you or screw over your opponent. Having some Artifact and Enchantment removals are important.

If you look at most EDH decks, the bulk of their cards fall on the 2 to 4 CMC slots. I would try out stuff like Kami of the Waning Moon, Hired Muscle, Farbog Revenant, Crypt Ghast, Baleful Eidolon, Lost Soul, Mindwarper, Morkrut Banshee, Nether Shadow, Pale Rider of Trostad, Searchlight Geist, Keening Banshee, Souldrinker, Skulking Ghost, Thief of Hope, Vampiric Spirit, Wicked Akuba, Death Denied, Horobi's Whisper, Soulless Revival, Three Tragedies, Swallowing Plague.
Everything else is too expensive or pretty terrible.

Grim Enchants

A W/B enchantment Pauper deck with Grim Guardian always appealed to me, so this list is pretty cool. A couple things:
Spiteful Returned is not pauper-legal. It has only been printed at uncommon. I'd probably replace with Hopeful Eidolon or Baleful Eidolon.
Pillory of the Sleepless is much stronger than Stab Wound. You want to maximize life drain while also removing the creature, which it executes far better than SW.
Including a copy or two of Unmake to the sideboard is strong backup removal in case your opponents are heavy on enchantment hate and your O-Rings no longer work.

If I were to create a deck based on the suggestions I gave, right off the top of my head, it'd look something like this:
Non creatures:
4x Rend Flesh
Creatures:
2x Waxmane Baku
