- Don't play Counterspell. You tap out most of your turns, and the double blue is not going to work with your mana base.
- Don't play blue at all. Halimar Excavator in this build is weak, as you have only 2 March from the Tomb as a payoff. And that is also not the best. Void Rend can be replaced by a lot of other removals.
- You should avoid 5 mana cards. With only 20 lands in your deck, you won't be able to play them.
- Play 4 Hada Freeblade. It's the best turn 1 play you have.
- An aggro deck needs some other 1 mana plays as well. I would suggest maybe some 2 Expedition Envoy, 2 Changeling Outcast and 1 Cliffside Lookout. That would bring the number of 1 mana creatures in your deck to 9, which is about right if you want to have one in your opening hand.
- Retreat to Emeria and Kor Entanglers are garbage. Don't play any of them.
- Don't play more than 1 Lantern Scout. Second copy does pretty much nothing. Talus Paladin is better and you should play 2-3.
- In the end, you have to decide whether you want to go all-in on life-gain/drain, or all-in on attacking and +1/+1 counters. Now you are split and then you do neither efficiently.
- The path with attacking is probably better. In that case, you want to play 4 Kazandu Blademaster, 4 Bojuka Brigand, 4 Kabira Evangel, a few Rally the Ranks and remove Cliffhaven Vampire, Ondu Cleric.
- If you go with life-gain, add 4 Serene Steward

I find your build interesting. I think 3x Captain's Claws are too many. You could consider introducing Oath of Gideon, Lantern Scout, Throne of the God-Pharaoh or even Retreat to Emeria. You could algo blow up a copy of Sun Titan or even Captain's Claws to add another gideon. Just test it.

I'm not sure I understand the inclusion of Mastermind's Acquisition and Possibility Storm in an otherwise low-to-the-ground taxes deck, but I do like the idea. If I'm not missing a kind of game-ending combo there, I would suggest going up on Thalia, Heretic Cathars (to maybe 3?).
Some other humans you might like:
Abbot of Keral Keep - card advantage!
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death - recur your Freebooters, Thraben Inspectors, Lieutenants... could be a lot of good value, and goes well with General's Enforcer!
Dauntless Bodyguard - it's aggressive and protects key cards like Lieutenant and Kudro.
Knight of the White Orchid
Kytheon, Hero of Akros
Flip
Gideon of the Trials - particularly good against Inverter combo
Mardu Skullhunter
Order of Midnight
Sin Collector
Stormfist Crusader
Tithe Taker - classic Taxes-type human!
Tomik, Distinguished Advokist - aggressive and very good against Lotus combo .
Some sideboard possibilties:
Arashin Cleric
Banisher Priest
Charming Prince
Dire Fleet Daredevil
Dragonmaster Outcast
Fiendslayer Paladin
Giant Killer
Harsh Mentor
Kambal, Consul of Allocation
Lantern Scout
Robber of the Rich
Tocatli Honor Guard - obviously you'd have to side out the Freebooters, but this is very good against Inverter
After doing all this research I'm also inspired, so I might make my own list. :)

Light of Hope and Lurrus of the Dream-Den from ikoria could also do really well, but you'd have to cut the Affa Protectors/Lantern Scout for lurrus.

I think Lantern Scout could make a great addition in place of Affa Protector if you're willing to spend a few bucks.

This is two different decks fighting each other for space.
One deck is BW Ally lifegain/rally. For that, you want to be running Bloodbond Vampire, Drana's Emissary, Kalastria Healer (which absolutely wins games), Zulaport Cutthroat, maybe Lantern Scout.
The other is Mono-White lifegain. Ajani's Welcome, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun, Authority of the Consuls, Archangel of Thune, Ashes of the Abhorrent for the sideboard, maybe Linden, the Steadfast Queen, Lone Rider Flip, perhaps, as a finisher, Nyx-Fleece Ram is stunningly potent against fast creature decks, in a similar vein to the also-pioneer-legal Wall of Essence.
I think your first step in making improvements to this deck is deciding which of these your deck wants to be.

A lot of cards you play use +1/+1 counters and you say that you have trouble with Boggles? you could try Abzan Battle Priest Lantern Scout is a cheaper one off option
I see these as the only ways I can think of to drastically turn the tide on Boggles
