Quite the large edit! I realized my deck's focus was slipping and took the time to shock it back in place.
First off, both Ajani Unyielding and Huatli, Radiant Champion out for Auramancer
and Mentor of the Meek. As much as I like the planeswalkers, the wizard and soldier help more with the enchantment and token strategies.
Kefnet the Mindful out, Meloku the Clouded Mirror in. Meloku does what I want cheaper, returning my lands for more landfall triggers/scrying with my Temples. I have a good amount of card draw already.
Sun Titan out, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind in. I love the art on the promo Sun Titan, it fits so well with the theme... but Niv just fits better with the strategy. His damage from card draws is strong with K&T and even Tatyova in play.
Sakura-Tribe Elder out, Nature's Lore in. The Elder did its job, but with just 10 basics in the deck his options are limited. The Lore can also get almost any of the shocklands in the deck, which helps as well.
Faith Healer out, Teferi's Protection in. The ability to just not be there for... everything, is so much stronger than just sacrificing your enchantments in response to exile effects. Why not just leave the game for a round and let the opponents sort out what to do when you return, strong as ever?
Seedborn Muse and Leyline of Anticipation out, Windborn Muse and Burgeoning in. I decided after looking things over that the ability to Flash anything into play is less important to this deck as having mana and walls, so I went more defensive with these swaps.
Sphinx's Revelation out, Congregation at Dawn in. The Rev hasn't done much for me, and with other cards that help stabilize I decided I needed more ways to dig for my combo pieces or answers, and the Dawn does just that, even searching up three possible helpers at once.
And lastly Growing Rites of Itlimoc Flip out, Sigil of the Empty Throne in. With so many other ways of getting creatures and not needing quite so much mana (which also increases your threat level), the Sigil is obviously a danger to others but keeps in flavor for the deck and isn't ruined if a board wipe happens.
