Hey, there!

First, what's your budget like? 'til I know that, I'll keep suggestions "standard".

Second: Cuts.

Sleep + River's Rebuke - not really an EDH card, since you usually have more than one opponent.

Martial Law - similarly, this is just one creature, and there are bound to be so many more problems than just one on the field at a time.

Invisibility - There are better sources of evasion (getting damage through to other players). Also, getting damage through is something Augustin isn't the best at, so that might not make for a strong win-con.

Robe of Mirrors isn't bad to protect your commander, but for 1 more mana you can use Curator's Ward (because Augustin reduces it) and then get 2 cards if someone uses a boardwipe later. I call that a deal. Diplomatic Immunity is another equally costed option as well, if you find your playgroup runs an obnoxious amount of enchantment removal, since it itself is also untargetable.

Consulate Crackdown - Kind of mediocre for what it does. For just one more mana, you can instead run Farewell or Austere Command, which both produce a much better effect.

Some things traditionally run in Augustin are used to basically slow the game to a crawl, and others are used to tax your opponents while this is going on to create advantages for you while you draw into your win conditions: Cursed Totem, Hushbringer, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, Vryn Wingmare, Containment Priest, Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip, Hushwing Gryff, Silent Arbiter, Ethersworn Canonist, Wandering Archaic  ^Flip, Smothering Tithe, Rhystic Study, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Sphere of Resistance, Torpor Orb, Damping Sphere, Static Orb, Karn's Sylex, Meekstone, Crawlspace... not quite an exhaustive list, but it's a really good start, and gets the point across.

There are some weird cards that you can use as win conditions to go with the "stax" style, like Azor's Elocutors.

If you're interested, https://edhrec.com/commanders/grand-arbiter-augustin-iv has some more suggestions as well - in my opinion, it's not a terrible place to start as a new player, although I'd encourage you to switch it up as you and your wallet like from what's listed there.

https://scryfall.com/ can also be a really good tool if you like to go full nerd and search for alternative cards with similar effects to really expensive cards - I've stumbled across a few hidden gems over time by using it.

Hope that helps, and Happy building!

Balaam__ What do you think about cutting Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip?She's kinda of a dead 3 drop to me.

Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip back half might be the hate piece for amulet titan that fits into your deck. Also front body isn't bad. A worse gaddok teeg is still dec.

Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip and Verge Rangers have proved to be inconsistent. Arcane Signet shall provide more ramp, while Hate Mirage will be one heck of a sucker punch.

I definitely think that Thalia, Guardian of Thraben would be better than Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip, it's cheaper and improves your mana curve a little. I would suggest 21 lands for this deck, or even 20. For dealing with artifacts or enchantments, you could put in Pithing Needle, but you could also try Hopeful Initiate.

Thanks again for your suggenstions! Some of these are definitely worth considering for me.
Adeline, Resplendent Cathar seems to be a better version of Hero of Bladehold. True there is no battle cry .. I will try this one out.
Reidane, God of the Worthy  ^Flip also seems like a good addition and Skullclamp truly is a great card I play in my other token-based decks. I'll probably slot one in the next time I play.
