I was making a similar artwork list and stumbled upon yours. It's very good and I found some great additions. I'd like to suggest some other cards I've found myself:

Wakedancer, Bloodbond Vampire, Asylum Visitor, Guul Draz Vampire, Stream of Unconsciousness, Beguiler of Wills, Nin, the Pain Artist, Oriss, Samite Guardian, Cursebreak, Ruthless Cullblade and Manaforge Cinder

Cheers!

I’m not sure what kind of format this deck is but if its Commander, Grandeur is pretty hilariously useless:

Baru, Fist of Krosa, Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, Linessa, Zephyr Mage, Oriss, Samite Guardian, Tarox Bladewing

Good points. Also check out Oriss, Samite Guardian and Seeker of Skybreak .

Legendary Creature - Dragon Kraken

Shroud, islandwalk, protection from humans, menace.

Your maximum hand size is increased by 3.

Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, draw 2 cards, then discard a card.

Whenever one or more human creatures deal combat damage to you, if ~ is untapped, tap it. If ~ is tapped, sacrifice it.

When ~ dies or is exiled, scry 10.

5/5

Based (loosely) around the Loch Ness Monster (Dragon Kraken typing, shroud/pro-human showing its elusiveness, humans hitting you means they discover it, so it dies, you get the idea). Not everything is based on the Loch Ness Monster, but I wanted to make a dragon for this plane.

Make a planeswalker for this plane (it can be Kiora if you are having trouble thinking of another walker that would be on this plane) that has Grandeur ( Oriss, Samite Guardian , Tarox Bladewing , as examples).

I also got an idea from another person on a different thread about making a Sakashima of a Thousand Faces deck with grandeur cards like Oriss, Samite Guardian and Linessa, Zephyr Mage.

I definitely agree with GoblinElectromancer's suggestions - Clerics were given a lot of new tools to actually win the game in the new set, rather than be supporting characters. I think you need 4x Angel of Destiny, 4x Fiend Hunter, and 4x Cleric of Life's Bond as a good lifegain and removal core. I also recommend 4x Soul Warden.

Here are some other good Clerics in addition to the above that you should consider. In general, I think going a lifegain, rather than a damage prevention, route will be more successful for you. There's a reason they've moved away from damage prevention in white.
Auriok Champion
Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim
Bishop of Rebirth
Bygone Bishop
Edgewalker - but please don't buy any now, as they've spiked and will go back down.
Giver of Runes/Mother of Runes
Mangara, the Diplomat
Selfless Spirit

These cards I think are weak that you can definitely cut for new cards:
Daru Healer
Oriss, Samite Guardian
Pulsemage Advocate
Shieldmage Elder
Ancestor's Prophet
War Report

Krenko, Mobcaller

Legendary Creature - Goblin

Haste

Tribunal - whenever any player attacks, if red sources you control have dealt more damage than sources that player controls, create X 1/1 red goblin creature tokens equal to the difference.

I'm trying to make Grandeur work in modern. Help me tighten up making Oriss, Samite Guardian lock the opponent out of the game!
