New to modern and would love some combo insight with my deck. As always any discussion is welcome

If you're trying no be competitive I would advice you to include 4 Path of Exile. As of now you don't have any way to disrupt either Splinter Twin or Collected Company Combo. On the same note you have slow mana. I would advice fetches and shock lands (Windswept Heath,Temple Garden, Overgrown Tomb, Godless Shrine) if you're on a budget you could include Canopy Vista. You could also include Shambeling Vents since it doubles as a creature and as fixing. Otherwise the idea is nice and seems very much fun to play. If you want to look into more cards for modern you could use I would advice gatherer.

Hello, I am no modern specialist, yet when I look at the deck I have the impression unbalance between killing the opponent with Card Advantage and Big creatures on the one hand (I think you don't really need even half the "creatures" you have to get the opponent to death) and the control of the board and the tempo to get out all these big monsters. If you plan to take out a game in modern format by the way big monsters, I think you need to know that it is a very difficult plan to get out because many decks will either try (and often manage to proceed) kill you with a combo much more quickly, either by an aggressive plan which is often as quick. If you plan not to win by turn 4-6 lets' say without too much disruption, you have the control role to prevent the opponent from crushing you. You surely have life gain that can slow down (but don't be too optimistic) burn, some early blockers (I think not enough) against aggressive creatures. You need a plan to disrupt combos, path to exile as suggested is a good card since useful against aggressive and some combo plans. I think you need also mana acceleration, so that your big creatures can have more impact against these decks.
And then I think you need disruption to fight more permissive control decks.
To sum it up:
Reduce the numbers of big creatures, you d'ont need so much. Try to keep some that are good against control decks (gaea's revenge is a good example)
Put some mana acceleration so that you can ramp up your big spells against quick decks.
Include some disruption against combos and permissive decks (you need to know what are the key cards to win against these decks and find a way to get them on the board).
Some mor thoughts:
If you include mor cheap spells, eidolon of blossoms could be a great card isn'it?

Cheers up because it is an uphill battle but it is good to try, because building your own deck and optimize it is a great way to become a skilled magic player!

Some cards I would think testing in this deck:
utopia sprawl, sheltered aerie, overgrowth, mana bloom, verdant haven, frontier siege (either mana or fighting mode with your angels), fertile ground, trace of abundance
Dovescape (some flying power with disruption/soft lock and you can get back your enchantments with starfield of nyx)

After looking into enchantement cards for Modern I would advice the following:
Eidelon of Blossoms,  -> provides you with card advantage something you need in the deck.
Greater Auramancy -> for the sideboard. Provides protection against disruption.
Idyllic Tutor -> Tutor effect so you can search for the appropriate enchantement for the right situation.
Seal of Primordium -> Sideboard or Mainboard -> provides a counter strategy vs affinity while fitting in the plan of the deck.
Choke -> Sideboard. From time to time completely hoses some blue decks in Modern.
Leyline of Sanctity -> Sideboard -> great vs thoughtseize type decks.
Leyline of the Void, Rest in Peace, Ground Seal  -> Sideboard -> Great vs graveyard based decks.
Stony Silence -> Sideboard -> Another great card vs Affiniy + other decks like Tron.
Suppression Field -> Sideboard -> Another way to counter combo decks like Splinter Twin and Collected Company.

Hopefully this helped
