Welcome to the club, shellsh0ckn0w!
As wallisface and Caerwyn have mentioned, knowing how much money you're willing to spend and if you're aiming for a certain format are important. I'm also going to ask if there are any colors you want to use or avoid.
Looking at creatures with Evoke, there are seven with a toughness 4 or greater, and just two have an Evoke cost under 4 mana. If you include Evoke cards with a toughness of 3, there are many more useful options, but you're going to need an additional Glorious Anthem, +1/+1 counters, or similar effects to bring their toughness up to 4.
Cheap, high toughness creatures like Wall of Omens and Aegis Turtle can provide a strong defense as you build to a different win condition, or you can turn their toughness into offense with cards like Assault Formation and High Alert.
Another potential angle is to build around Righteous Valkyrie, Bishop of Wings, and Kor Celebrant, using high-toughness Angels and Clerics to build an army.
The card is definitely slow, probably too slow for any tournament-level Constructed format, but a solid control shell will mitigate that, and it can be sped up a little with sacrifice effects. Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim, Severed Strands, Korozda Guildmage (which is a pet card of mine), and other effects that give resources based on a creature toughness can help, as well as more general sacrifice effects like Village Rites.
Above all, have fun!

First of all, this deck is fantastic.
Hrm, Pillory of the Sleepless could work in sideboard if they aren't creature heavy enough to warrant 12 fogs. "Didn't get to sleep last night till the morning came around"
Wall of Omens could help to stabilize, and help you find the Heaven's Gate or Jovial Evil that you just can't seem to draw already. "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls."
If a reasonable budget wasn't the name of the game, I'd recommend Painter's Servant in a heartbeat. "I see a red door..."

Hi grumbledore, I know you have plenty on your plate from things we've all been reporting to you, but I wanted to bring a few more things to your attention:
-
Decks with Maybeboards that are from Archidekt seem to have the Maybeboard factored/calculated in as if they were a part of the 99 for that deck.
-
Aggravated Assault was listed as a Ramp card, and not an Aggro card.
I know you made an update to categorize more cards a couple days ago, but in addition to other Uncategorized I previously mentioned, the following also lack categories:
-
Baleful Strix - Draw, even if it is a Cantrip effect?
-
No Mercy Could be Removal and/or Stax.
-
Wall of Omens & Spirited Companion - Draw
-
The Pathway lands - Barkchannel Pathway Flip, etc
-
Extinction Event - Removal
-
Thalia, Heretic Cathar - Stax
-
Stonehorn Dignitary - Stax or counter, especially in the context of a Blink or reanimation deck, since it blanks a combat

I don't get Wall of Blossoms over Wall of Omens. Because the deck is mostly white, you'll have more consistent card draw in the early game with Omens. I would swap those out and add a plains in the place of a forest.

Planned Land Changes
- Treetop Village -> Branchloft Pathway Flip
- Vesuva -> Spara's Headquarters
- Dryad Arbor -> Seaside Citadel
Planned Flicker Changes
- Green Sun's Zenith -> Wall of Omens
- Threats Undetected -> Wall of Blossoms
- Gilded Lotus -> Farhaven Elf
- Yavimaya Elder -> Wood Elves
- Explore -> Mystical Tutor
- Turnabout -> Preston, the Vanisher
- Stroke of Genius -> Solemn Simulacrum
- Angel of Serenity -> Sun Titan
- Turnabout -> Emiel the Blessed
- Acidic Slime -> Reclamation Sage
-
These changes are intended to streamline the deck by reducing the overall average cmc of the deck or reducing coloured pips in low cost spells. There's also a shift towards more ETB creatures rather than instants or sorceries for bread and butter effects.

No, she doesn't shut down shocklands. Paying life for your shockland is not a trigger. It does not use the stack, you cannot react to it, just like you can't react to the creature type being named with a Cavern of Souls. Because the oracle text says "As ... enters the battlefield" not "When ... enters the battlefield".
It looks like the people defending her never played with Tocatli Honor Guard, Hushbringer, Torpor Orb or Hushwing Gryff and have no idea what the oracle text actually means. And Norn is worse, since it's every permanent entering the battlefield, not just creatures. Like Strict Proctor.
TypicalTimmy I looked at your Miirym deck, here's the "occasional benefits" Elesh Norn is actually going to shut down or interfere with:
That's a lot of synergy, ramp, carddraw and wincons shut down by a commander. About 1/3rd of all your nonland cards. And that deck is going to have a hard time removing her too, by the looks of it.
Now there are a few cards that get better playing against Norn: bouncelands like Boros Garrison don't return lands to hand anymore, Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger doesn't need to sacrifice itself, but effects like those are not enough to catch up with the Norn player.
What's this "no game-winning effects in white" everyone is talking about? Cathars' Crusade will end the game in a hurry, especially if you pair it up with something like Blessed Sanctuary. Double up on every O-ring effect. Stonehorn Dignitary will keep you alive, especially if you play Teleportation Circle and Conjurer's Closet, as one definitely will in this deck. Felidar Retreat and Emeria Shepherd with all your Land Tax effects will snowball into an enormous boardstate easily. Solitude will rule the table. Sun Titan is still one of the most played white creatures for a reason. For carddraw that white wasn't supposed to have, Spirited Companion, Carrier Pigeons, Combat Thresher, Farsight Adept, Inspiring Overseer, Mentor of the Meek, Priest of Ancient Lore, Resistance Squad, Roving Harper, Rumor Gatherer, Search Party Captain, Skyscanner, Thraben Inspector, Wall of Omens all double up with Norn. Because everyone memed that white is a bad colour, nobody seems to know what the color has to offer. It could already hold its own without such a saltmine of a card for the command zone, and if you need this middle finger to half the popular deck archetypes to even consider building it, you do you, but prepare to be avoided.

I feel my blood pressure spike every time I look over a deck you build.
As far as what to cut, I think I remember you saying mono-white sacrifice and board wipe tribal so my recommendations are with that in mind. I'd cut the following:
Liquimetal Torque . I'm not sure what you'd want to turn into artifacts, you don't have anything that cares about when an artifact you control is put into the graveyard, and you have plenty of removal that I don't think you'd need to turn other people's permanents into artifacts.
Doomskar . This one I can see why you wouldn't want to cut it. Board wipe at instant speed. But it is the only Foretell card in the deck so once you exile it everyone will know there's a board wipe incoming.
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben . It's symmetric, it's staxxy, doesn't really fit your theme I think.
Spirited Companion or Wall of Omens . They do the same thing, one of them is just a defender.
Soul's Attendant . Just a Soul Warden that costs $2 more.
The Fall of Lord Konda
Flip . It's removal, but it feels underwhelming, and it's second ability conflicts with Helm of Possession.
Oketra's Monument . I feel like every time I build a mono deck, I always end up cutting the monument. That might just be me though.
Altar of Dementia . It's an amazing sac outlet, but idk if you want to go for milling out your opponents or self mill.
I'm not sure what else you could cut. I hope that helps a little bit lol
