Gravitational Shift is offense and defense, Contempt and Mark of Eviction can be cast every round for more fairies and combo a little with your only etb creature if you want

Celestial Unicorn doesn't really fit. Ivory Cup isn't as useful as it sounds.

Gravitational Shift is great with flyers.

Get your land count up to about 34-35 and most of the other cards you add should be artifacts or enchantments if you want free fairies. Alexi's Cloak, Propaganda, white enchantments that exile things, Helm of the Ghastlord, Bident of Thassa, Contempt, Mark of Eviction, card draw etc are all good choices.

I'd throw in a Mimic Vat and maybe Callidus Assassin, Rite of Replication and Evil Twin. Copies of their creatures counts as their creatures right?

Verduran Enchantress maybe? Mark of Eviction and Contempt can be cast over and over.

Arcane Lighthouse and Detection Tower so you can steal creatures with hexproof.

Rhadamanthus on Interaction between Argentum Armor and …

Contempt gets destroyed, then the creature gets bounced at end of combat.

Both Argentum Armor and Contempt trigger at the same time (Contempt's current Oracle text has been updated to say "When enchanted creature attacks..."), and because your opponent is the active player their Armor trigger goes onto the stack first and then your Contempt trigger goes onto the stack on top of it. Contempt's trigger resolves but nothing happens yet because it just creates a delayed trigger to bounce the creature "at end of combat". The Armor's trigger then resolves and destroys Contempt. At end of combat, after damage and everything, the delayed trigger from Contempt will trigger and the creature will be bounced. Contempt won't return to your hand because it's moved to the graveyard.

Even if Contempt was destroyed by something else in response to its trigger going onto the stack, the creature would still get bounced, because removing the source of a triggered ability that is already on the stack doesn't remove the ability from the stack.

The fact that Contempt is no longer enchanting the creature doesn't matter because the bounce trigger just references "that creature" who triggered the ability (the current Oracle text has been simplified to just reference "it"), not a creature specifically currently enchanted by it.

My opponent has a creature in play that is equipped with Argentum Armor and I have enchanted it with Contempt... when he attacks with this creature, does he get to destroy Contempt before it will bounce Contempt and the creature back to their owners' hands? Or do they get bounced before Contempt is destroyed? Does one of us get to choose the order, or does his turn priority put Argentum's trigger on the stack first, then Contempt, resolving Contempt first...? Thanks for the help!

Hey DreadKhan, thank you for your suggestions. The two lands you suggested are realy cheap and can be a good addition to the deck. I will have a look which lands I can delete out of my original deck to add those since I don t want to get rid of too many basic lands. The other cards you suggested seem to fit realy good into my deck too. Especially Contempt, Slow Motion and Fool's Demise seem to be good cards for this deck. But I realy don t know which cards to take out of my original deck. Maybe you can suggest one. Thank you!

Darkwater Catacombs and Skycloud Expanse tend to play very well for me, low budget or not tbh. War Tax is a solid pillow-fort effect. Slow Motion is a really good budget card, since you keep getting it back. Contempt might be worth casting. Fool's Demise Mark of Eviction are also interesting, mostly as repeatably castable enchantments that can hinder opponents.
