This will focus more on the text box than on the costs and stat lines, so those are still up for review.
Gaia, the Fierce Knight might be better served as a kicker-style card. Tracking a first strike counter would be a lot easier than tracking the rules text it doesn't have.
Curse of Dragon is pretty good. It's more of a build-around card, since flying + either means it won't be blocked often. You're going to need another source of -1/-1 counters. Maybe Crumbling Ashes + Blowfly Infestation?
Does Honest gain the stats of the creature you control or the creature blocking/blocked by the creature you control? The wording's a little ambiguous.
I don't know if this is your intent or not, so I'll make it a straight observation, but the Ward on Goyo Guardian is somewhat worse than Ward . You can tap two lands, a land and a token, a token and a planeswalker, or any other combination of two permanents. This one is a big glass cannon.
Stardust Dragon needs a sentence break and some more punctuation. This might be a good place to use stun counters to track which permanents are tapped for its effect. Or just give it hexproof, since it's almost there. Between ward and optional targeting denial, I know I wouldn't target it except as a last desperate resort. Pure hexproof is less interesting, but it will be functionally the same most of the time.
In Red Dragon Archfiend's "When this creature attacks and deals combat damage," cut the "attacks and." It's redundant with combat damage. This is an all-out aggro card. This one can get live testing, but I'm sure it would get tweaked some more, maybe become slightly faster and less punishing, but weaker stats and buffs.
Re-templating Black Rose Dragon: "When ~ enters the battlefield, you may destroy all other nonland permanents and put a drought counter on ~. This counter remains on ~ as it moves to any zone other than a player’s hand or library.
Exile a Plant creature from your graveyard: Target creature has base power and toughness 0/1, loses and can't gain indestructible, shroud, hexproof, and deathtouch, and must block this turn if able. Activate this ability no more than once per turn, and only if there are three or more nonland permanents on the battlefield and if ~ has a drought counter on it." This is another case where less might be more. There are a lot of effects and restrictions here that more or less work out to "target creature dies in combat." And the creature can still be regenerated, or have protection, or damage prevention, or...
Ancient Fairy Dragon is pretty good. Very heavily anti-enchantment, so abusable with Enchanted Evening. I would require destroying four enchantments (no "up to", compare Hex) and drop the life gain down to 1 or maybe 2 per enchantment, using Fracturing Gust, Paraselene, and Cursebreak as references. The first ability is pure pillowfort value.
Please define "card effect" for Black-Winged Dragon. Is it anything that targets you? A triggered or activated ability that targets you? Instant or sorcery? Some combination of the above?
Lifestream Dragon is another card I would make legendary. At six mana, it's very powerful. Even with legendary, it's probably safe to tune it down somewhere.

Honestly I'm not sure how much good those lightning greaves are doing, I'd probably lean towards taking those out. Also Paraselene looks like it would belong better in the sideboard (assuming you would make one), and doesn't synergize well with your 4 enchantments.
On a closer look, I noticed you have 4x Hushbringer ... which looks like a 4-of of a card that nullifies a solid 16 of your cards. I'd definitely take that one out first.

I totally agree. While it would certainly make mono white commanders far more viable, white already has enough going for it to make it a sought after color for wedges or dual colored commanders.
White sees lots of play in stax decks, as it packs the most hatebears of any color. Thalia, Guardian of Thraben Leonin Arbiter Aven Mindcensor Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite Grand Abolisher Hokori, Dust Drinker Ethersworn Canonist Kataki, War's Wage are all cards that see competitive play. You have far more fringe cases like Vryn Wingmare Alms Collector Thalia, Heretic Cathar Loxodon Gatekeeper and others which are seen on the fringe. The hatebears become a secondary wincon for competitive by pressuring life totals while also stopping the game.
White also gets a BUNCH of incredible supporting effects for stax builds. Armageddon and the expensive Ravages of War close games. Smothering Tithe plays great under stax. There are also numerous enchantments are shut off combos or lines of play, such as Rest in Peace Stony Silence Leyline of Sanctity Suppression Field and all kinds of less effective variants.
White also gives some of the most efficient 1-for-1 removal. While you will fall behind with 1-for-1's in a 4 player pod, its still important to pack StP and Path. White also gets sweepers for EVERY SINGLE PERMANENT TYPE. You read that correctly kids. You can do A-lot-for-1 trades with cards like Wrath of God Austere Command Cleanfall Paraselene and others.
White also gets one of the best pieces of combo protection available, Silence . White has a few tutors that are playable, Enlightened Tutor Steelshaper's Gift Open the Armory Academy Rector Stoneforge Mystic . You get card advantage via effects like Land Tax Tithe Weathered Wayfarer and more.
True, white doesn't have very many cards with the word "Draw" explicitly on it. You're able to accrue advantage, but its mostly incremental. What white lacks in raw draw you make up for with value. The sweepers are the best example of this imo. The opponent may have drawn more cards than you, but trading 1 card for 10 creatures on the board is effectively 9 card advantage.
I personally enjoy most duals or wedges that include White + Black or White + Blue. I find it to be similar to Green, in that I don't feel bad with having it as a secondary or tertiary color, and that it solves a lot of problems and gives me access to cards I want to run.

Looks like a fun deck!
I think you'll want more card draw. I'd recommend Enchantress's Presence and Argothian Enchantress and Mesa Enchantress and Verduran Enchantress .
Courser of Kruphix is a great enchantment that can also help you get some lands.
Starfield Mystic can give you some value if someone plays Paraselene or a similar effect.
Lastly, Standstill and Telepathy are some fun little pet cards of mine that could be fun in this deck.
Hope this helps!

Looks like a fun deck!
If you're worried about board wipes, you might want to run cards like Faith's Reward and Second Sunrise and Unbreakable Formation .
If you have an enchantment-heavy meta, try adding Paraselene and Back to Nature and Fracturing Gust and Patrician's Scorn .
Hope this helps!

If you’re having a problem with pillowfort decks then you can try out Austere Command and Cleansing Nova . A good budget option is Cleanfall , Leave No Trace , Paraselene , and Nova Cleric . If Ashnod's Altar is only in here to provide mana to attack through pillowfort than you’d be better off with a board wipe.
