Have you considered Siona, Captain of the Pyleas? If you replace it with Commune With Spirits you can look seven cards deep into your library and create chump blockers. If you choose to go this route, you may want to consider replacing Paradise Druid with any combination of Karametra's Favor and Nature's Embrace. If you go for the latter you'll definitely want to consider Stirring Wildwood.
Considering Light-Paws is a Legendary Creature who helps tutor auras you can get away with removing one.
As for your sideboard, you're probably going to want to go more auras that can stymie your opponent. These can range from taxing effects(such as Curse of Silence, Detention Vortex, Oppressive Rays and Soul Tithe) to activated ability prevention(such as Bound in Gold, Intercessor's Arrest and Overwhelming Splendor) to Protection(such as Guildscorn Ward and Holy Mantle.
Thank you for reading me out. I hope this helps. Happy Hunting!

I was really thinking hard about the problem of Oppressive Rays and Detention Vortex when I was laying to take a nap. I think Oppressive Rays is far more useful. This is because it automatically basically makes a creature useless except for its ETB, and Detention Vortex does not affect ETB either. Then, the opponent would only pay for Oppressive Rays if they had enough mana, but since Oppressive Rays is 1 MV, it can be used early on with a guarantee that they won't pay it. So, we're gambling on using it later in the game where there are at least 4 usable mana on the field, and the person really wants to use their card. This would cause him/her to completely waste his/her applicable mana to use the enchanted card. However, after, say 8 mana in the game, Detention Vortex becomes better than Oppressive Rays unless I use it on multiple creatures that I know the opopnent wants to pay for. So, it overall makes a better card as long as I keep the opponent slogging through using his/her mana to use his/her cards. The fact that Oppressive Rays is a making opponent pay 4 cost for me only buying 1 mana to use it makes it superior to nearly all soft counter cards there are even in .

As said before Angelic Gift doesn't seem great since we have Tetsuko. I think Oppressive Rays is a good option, since it should be better than Detention Vortex in general on creatures.

zapyourtumor Unfortunately, Portable Hole is an artifact, so I can't tutor it. How about Detention Vortex instead? Or Oppressive Rays? What about Sky Tether for whatever has flying that I can't block, or Angelic Gift as a way to do that as well as draw a card and also if the player can't block the flying card?
