Stasis snare would be good. And as much as you want to avoid creatures, blight caster could be a good way to try to control the board.

Blightcaster would definitely work in my deck, have to look at what spot it could take after playtesting some.

     Going off what WWolfe said here's an interesting combo that you might want to try: Blightcaster, Grim Guardian, and screams from within. Let the magic happen.

Problem I have with Spirit of the Labyrinth is slows down my card draw.

Great Auramancy combined with Aegis of the Gods...

The spirit of the labyrinth is something you'd want to sit in the side board. Personally though I used to run it in my Orzhov extort deck. It worked great because it placed a heavy emphasis on the discard of the opponent's hand and made them take damage because of shrieking affliction. That card combo with mental agony, black cat, drainpipe vermin, slate street ruffian, mind rot and other W/B spells that made discards happen. It really sets the tone and the speed for a duel when you can control what resources your opponent really has access to.

Oh I normally love that type of control, in fact I have a discard package in my Skullbriar deck which catches a lot of people off guard because he's usually straight aggro.

I have it set aside in case I decide to use it in this deck.

You really want full control, play spirit of the labyrinth with eidolon of rhetoric and to really have fun play this as well personal sanctuary and
grand abolisher. Opponents focus is to get rid of some of that.

I'm seriously ROFL. I have those cards along with Aegis of the Gods & Greater Auramancy set aside (along with Sterling Grove & Privileged Position) for a Bant deck I'm planning out.

Got in some playtesting tonight with my son. Made the following changes:

(in for out)
Enlightened Tutor for Soul's Attendant
Replenish for Make A Stand
Agent of Erebos for Wall of Essence
Blightcaster for Wall of Limbs
Auramancer for Wall of Souls
Blessed Spirits for Souls of the Faultless
Spiteful Shadows for Sigil of the Empty Throne

Really like the walls as creatures but they just felt too gimmicky and didn't really do what I wanted them to.

Fair enough, and it looks like that you're pushing heavily towards the enchantment theme more now. Speaking of Bant decks, have you considered incorporating an exalted theme into your Daxos deck? There are plenty of W and B creatures that have the effect and the actual plane of Alara is good for W/B cards as well. It's a world worth looking at.

I've thought about Exalted, but that's one of the basis for another EDH deck I'm working on and I didn't want to repeat the theme.

     It sounds like you've been playing MTG for a while. How long have you been involved in the game?

I started playing during the middle of the Innistrad block so not all that long but I came to the game having played strategy games and chess for quite a while. My friends that were into the game before me said that helped speed my learning curve.

ETA- debating swapping Celestial Ancient in for Archangel of Thune.
