Kaalia of the Vast Upgrade Suggestions

Kaalia of the Vast 3 color
Looking for some potential upgrades. It has served me pretty well, but I just want to see if there is anything I can improve upon. This is a non-competitive deck and is played casually between friends.

The things that this deck needs to work on is lands, card advantage, accelerants, and cutting non-synergy cards.

Since Angels, Demons, and Dragons are so big you want to make sure you have enough mana to cast them.

Have at least 37 lands.
Cuts:
Ancient Den - No artifact synergy someone can blow it up with artifact removal
Adds:
Pain lands
Slow Lands
Future Sight Lands
Bounce Lands
Path of Ancestry
Nomad Outpost

Accelerants
Cuts:
Chromatic Orrey - Too clunky
Chromatic Lantern - Clunky but keep if you dont add dual lands

Adds:
Arcane Signet
Fellwar Stone
The talismans
Sol Ring
The signets

General Cuts
Cosmos Elixir - Not a lifegain deck
Fountain of Renewal - Not lifegain deck
Angelic Destiny - Not a voltron deck
Rune of Mortality - Not of Voltron Deck
Wish - Theres no sideboard in commander
Serra the Benevolent - Not an angel can't cheat out
Revitalize - Not lifegain

Cut all the creatures the creatures that are 3 mana or less except Burnished Hart and Kaalia, Zenith Seeker.  You wan't big creatures. No point in cheating out small angels/demons/dragons.

You also have alot of French Vanilla creatures, which means creatures with keywords and nothing else.  Cut those.

Here is a list of budget includes to replace them with:
https://scryfall.com/search?q=%28type%3Aangel+OR+type%3Ademon+OR+type%3Adragon%29+commander%3AWBR+cmc%3E%3D4+usd%3C2&order=edhrec&as=grid

Removal
Most of your removal does the job of destroying the threat but you won't be able to tempo your opponent with it. If you want recommendations for upgrades:
Anguished Unmaking
Chaos Warp
Curtain's Call
Dismantling Wave
Darksteel Mutation
Generous Gift
Heliod's Intervention
Soul Shatter

You want about 6-10 single target removal in my opinion

Outside of that you want haste enablers and ways to protect Kaalia and your creatures so Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves are perfect.
