As long as I'm going with the Enchantress concept, I'd also love to fit in the Arcane Laboratory + Erayo, Soratami Ascendant combo. Arcane Lab is against the whole deck's engine, which is "Play Cards to Draw Cards"...but the prospect of totally locking down opponents is too juicy to pass up.
Hummm... If I could suggest, could you divide your deck up into different sections such as creatures, artifacts, enchantments, instants, sorcery, plainswalkers, and lands?
It makes it a lot easier to read and give feedback for.
Angus Mackenzie -> Spike Weaver it is a lot less mana intensive. Sure it is limited in how many uses you can do it but if needed you could use it vs multiple opponents in one turn.
Birds of Paradise Turn this into a land ramp card instead. The problem with mana critters is they get eaten up by the first wrath spell and then you are out of your ramp. They tend to see more play in 1 v 1 than multiplayer due to this.
Knight of New Alara my problem with this guy and a lot of the lieges is that you dont run a lot of creatures. It isnt worth it just to ramp up jenara because you are spending a card to probably give her a few +/+ effects instead of just paying 2 mana to ramp her up. The mass pump for your general tactic tends to work better for Rafiq in my mind.
I would also try to stay away from too many aura effects. People can too easily 2 for one you with enchants. I for one would turn a few of the auras into regular enchants or turn them into equipment.
It isnt cheap but Argothian Enchantress is probably the best of the card draw critters for this style of deck.

Very good point, and in EDH the speed of Birds isn't as important. It might be better as a Garruk Wildspeaker ?

I'm loath to give up the Murkfiend Liege for it's untap ability...and I dropped Lieges in to begin with just to avoid relying on too many Auras. There's too much Artifact hate (thanks to Sharuum) to rely heavily on equipment.

Other maybes: Sun Titan and/or Hannah, Ship's Navigator to get my enchantments back...but what would I strip to make room?

Done!
True, and I'd use Weaver if
