Also, Behemoth Sledge ? It's not an enchantment, but it hangs around gaining you life until you play your general.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I've dropped a Forest to make room.

Another thought, while a bit of a cheap move might be Shield of the Oversoul it kinda fits all the stuff you'd want, and means your commander is tricker to deal with. Oversoul of Dusk might be a thought to add to your creature base as well.

Shield of the Oversoul doesn't do much for my mostly white flying creature base and Oversoul of Dusk seems a little underwhelming.

I'll just chip in here and say Shield of the Oversoul is often a win-con in several casual decks I run ( Charging Troll or Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers for preference) - it's fairly easy to underestimate, but bearing in mind you're running G/W auras and your commander wants to attack each turn (and survive, I guess?) it's worth at least giving it a try.

As a general rule (get it?), I try to maximize my deck's resiliency should my commander be tucked, stolen, or destroyed. As such, including a card like Shield that only grants indestructibility to four of my creatures—one of which is Eternal Witness , a card I want destroyed so I can recur it—doesn't seem efficient. I have several other cards in the deck, with more universal applications, that come close to the Shield's abilities, such as:

Avacyn, Angel of Hope
Deathless Angel
Bear Umbra
Snake Umbra .

This is in addition to the cards that provide my creatures with protection or hexproof/shroud, or recur them:

Glory
Adarkar Valkyrie
Flickering Ward
Lightning Greaves
Swiftfoot Boots
Whispersilk Cloak
Privileged Position .

what about Mark of Sakiko , or Sakiko, Mother of Summer ?  It's a bit of mana ramp that goes well with well of lost dreams  and lifelinkers.

The deck's existing mana ramp has been sufficient in playtesting so far. Also, once the deck gets a single creature out, there's not much use for extra mana. While the Sakiko cards have nice synergy with the Well, they're too dependent on other cards to maximize their value.
