Cool deck idea. Maybe auras that return themselves could be good: Brilliant Halo. Cessation. Dragon Breath. Dragon Scales. Fiery Mantle

Cessation that built in return is powerful.

With 27 artifact creatures, 18 artifacts and 4 artifact lands I'm confident your commander will always cost 2.

Slow Motion and Cessation potential upgrades to your aura creature control theme. The return to hand clause is very powerful.

Cessation, Sluggishness and two more similar enchantments from each color (different sets) will trigger Spirits as they go from Battlefield to Graveyard to Hand. Not sure if any of them would fit your theme but I thought the interaction was cute.

Flickering Ward is great value. Fallen Ideal can put those tokens to use.

If your interested in being annoying, there are several Urza block enchantments that return to hand when they go to the graveyard from the battlefield: Sleeper's Guile for some evasion, Brilliant Halo (not that great), Despondency to nerf a creature, Cessation and Slow Motion can be really annoying.

UPDATE:

I wanted to add more "creature prisons" with return to hand effects. Sadly I could only find one I thought was passable (Cessation and Forced Worship seems a bit too weak to play). While looking at removal cards I also restumbled upon Chaos Warp which suddenly seemed very fun.

OUT: Condemn, Journey to Nowhere

IN: Cage of Hands, Chaos Warp
