MASSIVE UPDATE —May 23, 2018
It's been a while since i played that deck (in years) and i revisited it, i liked that so i updated it a lot. Here the changes:
Hedron Archive - Mana Crypt: In a non annonced update i got an Ancient Tomb, i now got this to complete the broken mana rocks of Commander.
Replenish - Supreme Verdict: You will discover later in this list that i removed a mass destroy, this replace it. AAnyways, this Replenish was put in my Daxos the cursed years ago.
Narset Transcendant - Gift of Immortality: I wanted to up the auras count, expecially the protective aura.
Totem Hartbeast - Righteous Autority: This is in the same idea.
Solemn Simulacrum - Thirst for Knowledge: I get really screwed we i get a hand of auras, with more card draw/filter, we can put them in the graveyard for later use while still running a lot of them.
Muddle the Mixture - Ideas Unbound: I count in the above.
Austere Command - Chart a Course: Once again, i wanted more draw.
Knight of the White Orchid - Jace, Vryn Progidy: A looter who can flashback later, count in the card filter idea and keep the Narset effect, kinda.
Shielded by Faith - Indestructibility: The adtionnal mana cost doesn't matter, this have the upside to protect a thing before Bruna arrive.
Sun Titan - Trinket Mage: Added mainly because of Mana Crypt, but also for the following card.
Basalt Monolith - Expedition Map: Mainly to fetch the haste land, but the recent had of Ancient Tomb make it tasty.
3x Plains - 3x Island: New cards are mostly blue, and many auras (we never cast) are white.
Moorland Hunt - Island: I want less gray mana and even more blue mana.
Hello fellow Tappedout user. Thanks for your kind advices on my deck.
First, i never thought of running tax type enchantment in this deck. I do in some of my others commander, but not this one. Ill hightly consider it. Probably Grasp of Fate will be replaced.
Second, i don't run smaller auras beacause i never really cast them, i all cheat them so the mana cost isn't an issue. I used to run Spirit Mantle over Holy Mantle, but it then got replaced by Unquestioned Authority. Its more or less the same for the other you proposed, but Ethereal Armor could make the cut.
And last, for the draw engine, i don't run those creature because, like i said, i almost never cast the auras. Thats why i prefer card draw cards who give loads of cards, but you need to discard some, usually the auras go because Bruna bring them back for free. Rhystic Study is really good, but i ain't got any of these yet.
Once again, thanks for your advices, you helped me make this deck better.

I like this deck; you get a +1 from me. It's well balanced and you've obviously put some real thought into it. I have a couple of suggestions that might improve it slightly.
Your deck has few creatures, and thus you added both instants, sorceries and enchantments to remove your opponents' creatures (at least temporarily or under certain conditions). I think it would be more effective to replace the enchantments you've allocated to this task (Cast Out, Faith Unbroken and Grasp of Fate) with enchantments that would stop more than just one or two creatures at a time. Why not use tax-cards like Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety and/or Propaganda? Make your opponents pay for all their creatures when they attack you! :)
You're missing some of the cheaper Aura's that, in my opinion, are really excellent value (in terms of CMC). Some examples are: Aqueous Form, Curiosity, Ethereal Armor and Spirit Mantle. Maybe you could add these instead of some of the more expensive aura's you've chosen.
This is just a personal preference of mine, but I would add some more 'draw' cards to this deck, to make it faster. Sram, Senior Edificer and Mesa Enchantress have some nice synergy with your deck. I usually add Rhystic Study to any blue deck I build; great card, especially when combined with other tax cards.
