In a deck featuring this many enchantments, I'd definitely recommend adding Sphere of Safety to protect yourself from attacks. Daxos the Returned could also prove fun in this deck, seeing as you're focussing on enchantments and getting tokens from them. So far, your deck seems to be relatively budget-oriented but in case that ever changes options like Replenish, Academy Rector and Greater Auramancy would all fit wonderfully in here. Have fun with the build.

I've run decks like this before (albeit with green as well), they can sometimes get pretty tough to edit or improve once you make your initial roster. I can't help you choose what to swap in/out or with what, especially since this isn't a color combo I'm 100% familiar running, but I have some recommendations to expand your maybeboard...

Overall, Daxos the Returned would be a good way to take additional advantage of and further feed your experience counters, though I'm unsure if it fits the deck strategy itself 1:1.

There are any number of cards that can take advantage of a sacrifice engine, some mainstays in decks I made a while back (and since scrapped) would be Smothering Abomination, Sifter of Skulls, Blood Artist, and Zulaport Cutthroat, though countless more exist for sure, and these are all single cards.

I also would point you towards "Emerge" cards (such as Distended Mindbender), co-opting your opponent to sacrifice things as well (such as with Voldaren Pariah  ^Flip, Rankle's Prank, etc), and even some stat balloons like Elenda, the Dusk Rose (or DIY a stat balloon with Sadistic Glee).

Personally, some good supporting cards might be Shadows of the Past, Black Market, Moonlit Wake, and Inheritance, though these are just some examples of directions you could go in.

Lastly, I encourage you to take a look at some of the more recent sets in general, especially Wild of Eldraine's "Bargain" mechanic. It might have a good amount of synergy here.

Oh Humility. I have humility and a Daxos the Returned spirit token in play with 5 experience tokens. What is the spirits power and toughness?

Daxos the Returned maybe? You have a ton of enchantments and he would provide more creatures.

White has a few flyers with Myriad that would make it easier to damage opponents, and Hammers of Moradin can tap down blockers.

Probably some other stuff from Daxos the Returned's EDHREC page (if not necessarily Daxozzz himself)

I'm already on board! Kamigawa Sagas are going to be a gnarly addition to this!

Have you thought about Stony Silence to get under some skin, you can always get rid of it in a pinch!? If not Forging the Tyrite Sword can grab Illusionist's Bracers for double recursion! Daxos the Returned could be fun here as his tokens are enchantments! Solitary Confinement seems like a sweet combat trick AND a discard outlet!

Starfield of Nyx is a handy extra Opalescence!

Also Moon-Blessed Cleric and other soft tutors could be cool!

I'm glad to see one of my favorite users come up with a really sweet deck idea! I will be watching this VERY closely.

Hope you're well! -GoldenDiggle

I feel like you could take out Daxos the Returned as you're not really running heavy enchanchments
