Have you thought about Banisher Priest or Fiend Hunter

I've considered them (and was rocking Fiend Hunter 4-5 years ago with my very first attempt to play modern), but overall they have several innate disadvantages to them here. While they are essentially a removal spell tacked onto a human, if they are removed it doesn't help much and will trigger ETBs of creatures removed with them. This means that it is usually in poor taste to target creatures with ETBs with them, and on top of this, it allows your opponent to "flash" in a blocker at instant speed by removing them at instant speed. I'm also looking to keep the curve low, because I have a surprising amount to do on each of my turns and I'm fairly happy with where my curve is currently at. Fiend Hunter and Banisher Priest are good cards, but I don't believe that they have a place in this particular build. Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless!
