Have you considered Dragon Turtle?

Also, Colossal Skyturtle gives you some options

Love the theme!

Something like this might do you better:

4x Colossal Skyturtle

4x Shark Typhoon

4x Resurgent Belief

4x Shardless Agent

4x Ardent Plea

4x Cast Out

4x Lay Claim

4x Force of Negation

4x Subtlety or Siege Rhino

I also think maybe you want to aim for a deck that uses 22-23 lands, just so you can more reliably apply pressure early

I'm really skeptical of this gameplan. From what I can tell you're hoping to cast either Ardent Plea or Shardless Agent and cascade into either Founding the Third Path or Resurgent Belief. The problems here are:

• If you cascade into Founding the Third Path, you're likely only using it to try and get enchantments into the grave (it's first activation does nothing for you, so I assume you always read ahead to chapter 2). But from milling 4 cards you're only going to average putting 1.46 enchantments into the grave, which feels like really low value. And then it's 3rd chapter also does nothing for you. This feels like a really, really poor card to use with this current deck.

• If you cascade into Resurgent Belief, you have the problem that your deck has no really easy way to get enchantments into the grave... you might only have a single copy of either Shark Typhoon or Colossal Skyturtle in there at best.

My current feeling is that you need to be doing a lot more to be putting your enchantments into the graveyard, as currently you have almost no way to do that, and they're just going to be stuck in your hand doing nothing. I also don't see how Founding the Third Path helps you at all here.

Niko9: Well, there's Losheel, Clockwork Scholar. But a Ghalma would be nice as well.

I want a gargoyle lord sooo badly. There are lots of interesting gargoyles, but even leaving aside a designated commander, the only thing remotely close to a lord is Wakestone Gargoyle. This needs to change.

Second, turtles and even more crocodiles. Archelos, Lagoon Mystic can be a decent turtle commander, and Colossal Skyturtle is one beast of a card, but we have no real tribal synergy for crocs. The tribe can be turned a great 60-card casual deck, but a commander deck is nearly impossible. (For 60-card decks for both tribes, take a look at my profile.)

AT23 I see that Colossal Skyturtle is both an enchantment and a creature, it might be possible to trigger delirium for cards like Traverse the Ulvenwald
