Shining Shoal
Instant — Arcane
You may remove a white card with converted mana cost X in your hand from the game rather than pay Shining Shoal's mana cost.
The next X damage that a source of your choice would deal to you or a creature you control this turn is dealt to target creature or player instead.

I think most of the viable options at this point have been included, but I will toss in Sickening Shoal, Shining Shoal, and Disrupting Shoal as possible reactions to the turn 1 scam. However, I do think your personal deck choice makes a greater impact on which options you should be pursuing such as being able to cast your hate pieces if not in your opening hand (looking at you leylines). In addition you also have to consider which between grief and fury is the greater obstacle for your deck. If you are a combo deck for example needing to assemble many pieces, planning against grief would probably be better. If you are aggro, I'd say fury would be the better choice to combat. The ultimate point being your hate of choice should combat what hurts you the most and gives you the most freedom throughout the game instead of trying to find a 1 size fits all winning solution.

Blazing Shoal and Shining Shoal would be cool tech for this strategy.
As for cuts:
Volcanic Salvo big CMC is useful but the card is lackluster. Greater Gargadon and Heroes Remembered are at least neat exile tech (especially with the Shoals I just suggested)
Emeria's Call  Flip the tokens are useless to this strategy and there are cheaper ways to grant indestructible.
Loxodon Warhammer and Maul of the Skyclaves for the 2 Swords I suggested. All your other equipment serve a clear purpose.
Steel Seraph is this just swiss army knife value? Angelfire Ignition at least exiles for a trigger. I'd swap Semblance Anvil for the Seraph unless I'm missing something.
Torbran, Thane of Red Fell great card but I don't see it as being degenerate in this strategy. Jester's Cap can ruin the combo opponent or at the very least use other people's high CMC to feed Bell Borca.

You do not have to let them know before the spell resolves. Any choices required as part of casting a spell are made when the spell resolves. You choose targets and the value of X as part of casting the spell, so they will know that you intend to redirect damage to them and how much damage. The choice of sources isn't known until you create the redirection effect when Shining Shoal resolves. There is going to be anther round of priority before the damage is actually dealt and redirected. so depending on what they were wanting to do they may still be able to do it.

Say I want to cast Shining Shoal targeting my opponent.
Do I have to let them know and/or target "your choice" before the spell begins resolving?

I also have a Celestial Kirin deck that I have come to enjoy a lot. Check it out here: Exploding Sheep Tribal
35 lands seems a bit too few, since you really want to hit land drops to be able to cast your spirits at the right time. I have 37 and still feel the pinch sometimes.
One of the best-performing cards in my deck has without a doubt been Citanul Flute. I can't recommend this card enough, since it allows you to get the right spirit for the job every time. It also fetches out Ugin's Conjurant immediately if you want.
Mirror Entity is a spirit and a powerful finisher for your deck.
Strict Proctor is something I'm trying out, as it gives the commander a lot more flexibility in whether or not you want to blow up the board and it also hoses a lot of strategies all by itself.
No Shining Shoal in your deck? This is like having a wild card that can basically be any CMC from 2 and up. Not to mention the ability totally gets people and it's hilarious.
I missed out on Skyclave Relic and will add it to my own deck. Thank you! Other ramp spells you might be interested in are Astral Cornucopia and Wayfarer's Bauble, which get around Kirin's ability nicely.
Someone suggested to me Avacyn, Angel of Hope. I tried it and have not looked back. The card just makes this deck work perfectly.
I've found that a glaring weakness of this deck is facing opposing token decks. This is why I'm playing Declaration in Stone as a good way of dealing with large threats and masses of tokens for cheap.
I used to play a token package myself, but I have moved away from it, since having indestructible and evasive spirits was usually just better. It also made more space for all sorts of other goodies.
With all your indestructible stuff, Protector of the Crown is pretty hilarious.
