Damn is solid removal here.
Shadrix Silverquill is an excellent source of go-wide +1+1 counters.
Reconnaissance is great in any deck where you turn stuff sideways. This card has a few hidden tricks up it's sleeve and feels almost like cheating if you know what you're doing with it (look at my Edgar Markov deck description if you aren't familiar).
Inkshield feels like low hanging fruit, but it makes Inklings.
Stroke of Midnight/Generous Gift if you find you need more versatile removal.

I've had really good results with a +1+1 counter subtheme. Anduril, Narsil Reforged, Shadrix Silverquill, Felidar Retreat, Archangel of Thune, Drana, Liberator of Malakir, and Nykthos Paragon (an enchantment and Alela conveniently has lifelink) are my go-wide +1+1 counters and Felisa, Fang of Silverquill / Breena, the Demagogue are my single target/support guys.
Reconnaissance is amazing here. Swing with EVERYONE safely, deal combat damage in most situations, and have every one of those creatures untapped by the end of combat.
Vault of the Archangel effects combat in your favor even if you don't activate it. Just the unspoken threat of potential activation makes people think twice and when it is activated, you'll gain huge chunks of life.

Hey, I just built a very similar deck and had a couple suggestions. Have you thought about a couple cards like Ghostly Prison or Windborn Muse to keep you safe early? Blazing Archon is great, but it is more of a late game threat. You have a lot of global forced combat like Goblin Diplomats and Avatar of Slaughter, so you want to make sure those effects don't come at you. You can also achieve this with political pieces like Shadrix Silverquill or Loran of the Third Path. One more thing, I like to have on hand are some surprising wincons like Delirium for big commanders and Incite Rebellion for big boards. Definitely some cool ideas here!

I'm honestly laughing at the "cut Reconnaissance, it doesn't do much here" comments. Any go-wide deck that relies on turning creatures sideways should run this and never consider cutting it.
One suggestion I'd make is Nykthos Paragon. It's not a flyer but is conveniently an enchantment and Alela has lifelink so 2-3 counters on all your dudes is easily done and it just snowballs FAST from there. I do run a bit more of a +1+1 counter subtheme with things like Felidar Retreat, Shadrix Silverquill, Archangel of Thune, etc.
Vault of the Archangel is another card I'd make room for. Just the threat of potential activation affects combat in your favor and a 30+ swing in life totals isn't unheard of.

Hi Spaghetti! You're one of the few people on here who still update their Obzedat decks frequently. I also have an Obzedat deck, it's my oldest and probably my favorite deck I own, but we both have completely different strategies which is good fun.
I love your approach to the build!
My deck is linked here if you wanna check it out, mines an Orzhov ETB deck, but it has a similar strategy of pacing the game down and punishing opponents. Link (https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/juggled-to-death/)
Shadrix Silverquill is sick, I should maybe try to squeeze that in for more card advantage.
Have you considered Tome of Legends? Card is insane value with Obzedat entering the battlefield every turn. It might be worth running over Mazemind Tome. Another great card you might like is Preston, the Vanisher. You get an extra Obzedat ETB trigger every turn, but it does suck that you have to sac the copy to legend rule. It's deffinitly better in mine as an ETB deck, but it could be fun in your deck too.
I see you have Kaya, Intangible Slayer in your maybe board, I was thinking about adding Kaya to mine too, the hexproof is nice, but it's so much mana!
Anyways, glad to see another Obzedat playing in todays EDH scene, there aren't a lot of us due to the overwhelming popularity of other Orzhov commanders.

I would suggest running more card draw. Fortunately there's a LOT of options in these colors.
Coastal Piracy is another recon mission/bident variant. Skullclamp is great in token decks. Plumb the Forbidden is an excellent answer to boardwipes that fills your grip up for redeploying. Tocasia's Welcome triggers off your tokens and anything else cmc 3 or less. Starscream, Power Hungry Flip isn't a faerie but with enough draw power, this guy can hit for a ton of damage. Shadrix Silverquill will typically go wide with +1+1 counters (which is amazing on a flying army) but he does have a draw option.
On the note of +1+1 counters, consider Cathars' Crusade, Felidar Retreat, and Drana, Liberator of Malakir. Archangel of Thune is a bit pricier but is downright amazing here (if you add it, I recommend Authority of the Consuls with it). Divine Visitation is another way to pump up your damage output with this much token production.

You're going to want a lot more draw engines here. I'll try to keep my suggestions budget(ish) friendly.
Court of Grace, Skullclamp, Breena, the Demagogue, Reconnaissance Mission, Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, Starscream, Power Hungry Flip, Aerial Extortionist, Shadrix Silverquill, Welcoming Vampire, and Tocasia's Welcome are all great options that fit the theme and won't break the bank. I'd recommend getting up to at LEAST 10 draw engines (I run 17 in this deck... and it feels GREAT).
