Choose target creature you control and target creature you don't control. The creature you control gets +2/+1 until end of turn if it's a Knight. Then those creatures fight each other. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

I second the idea of cutting down to just 60 cards in 2 colors. Then, I'd try to identify the main gameplan you like to follow when playing the deck. That will inform any cuts, additions, and other revisions you make down the line.
The first archetype that jumps out at me is definitely knights. They are often Mardu () these days, but just Rakdos () should work just fine for casual play. You already have
Belle of the Brawl
,
Barrow Witches
,
Charity Extractor
,
Embereth Paladin
.
Locthwain Paladin
,
Garna, the Bloodflame
,
Ogre Errant
,
Raging Redcap
, and
Tentative Connection
which can definitely fit such a style. Most of the lower cost creatures and spells wouldn't be that bad either. I'll list some cards from the modern card pool under $5 that I think could be strong additions to such a deck.
Ashenmoor Liege
,
Bloodcrazed Paladin
,
Cavalier of Flame
,
Cavalier of Night
,
Champion of Dusk
,
Elite Headhunter
,
Embereth Shieldbreaker
,
Foulmire Knight
,
Hanweir Lancer
,
Hero of Oxid Ridge
,
Knight of the Ebon Legion
,
Kulrath Knight
,
Midnight Reaper
,
Murderous Rider
,
Olivia, Mobilized for War
,
Stormfist Crusader
, and
Weaselback Redcap
are all knight creatures with various effects, costs, and price points that I see as playable. For more general knight synergy,
Blacklance Paragon
,
Fervent Champion
,
Joust
,
Sigiled Sword of Valeron
,
Tournament Grounds
, and my favorite,
Smitten Swordmaster
are options too. Toss in some solid removal like
Lightning Bolt
,
Terminate
, or
Bedevil
and you have the recipe for a strong tribal aggro deck.
The other major archetype I see being possible here is some sort of angel/dragon/demon big stuff deck. The problem is that such a deck is likely to be much slower, making it tougher to keep up in 1v1 games. Plus, a lot of those cards are legendary, so they tend to come with a hefty real-world price tag. Still, I've seen Kaalia of the Vast do some very scary stuff in casual. Such a deck would support your larger creatures as well as spells like Cauldron Dance and Victimize .

Human Peasant type cards, some Knight cards, Queen cards and Castle cards from Throne of Eldraine. Cards that create Food tokens (so the king can eat), some Walls for protection, Joust and Tournament Grounds for the king's entertainment. The Royal Scions because they're royal.
