Paradox Haze targeting yourself will help put more counters on Azor's Elocutors :P

Something I've found about Talara's Battalion, it's more often than not a dead card in hand (in my experience) as more often than not, by the time I can afford to pay for both it and another green card, I've not had the second card to play because I had emptied my hand of all my other cards. I actually prefer to use Wren's Run Vanquisher instead.

Ethereal Armor would be nice to take advantage of the Pacifism and Defang :p

Favorable Winds would do nicely in here. Also, Jötun Owl Keeper would be interesting in here.

Sadly, this deck isn't Pauper legal. I just checked up on the Soltari in Gatherer and found this:
Soltari Champion is a rare
Soltari Crusader is an uncommon
Soltari Monk is an uncommon
Soltari Priest is an uncommon

I know that they have black expansion symbols, but in early Magic they only printed with black symbols. Even earlier Magic didn't have expansion symbols at all. Colour to show rarity showed up later.

White creatures with Shadow that are Pauper legal:
Augur il-Vec
Soltari Emissary
Soltari Foot Soldier {you're already using this one}
Soltari Lancer
Soltari Trooper
Soltari Visionary
Zealot il-Vec

Everyone always thinks of Fling, but never think of Soul's Fire. Depending on the 'combo', I think Soul's Fire could be a better option, but that's a debate for another deck.

Normally they would be blocked, but that's why they're normally played with Artful Dodge and Apostle's Blessing so they cannot be blocked. Makes for a scary turn 4 kill.

Holy crap balls, Eternal Witness as the main target for a Closet would be awesome

You know, Ponder and Preordain are the only reason this isn't Modern legal. Sadly, those two draw cards are banned in Modern.

Looking at your list reminds me of the Kiln Fiend decks I've seen in Modern and Pauper, so Kiln Fiend mite be a good card to add. Sadly, as much as I too like Wee Dragonauts, they're outclassed by Kiln Fiend and Nivix Cyclops, especially in decks running cards like Artful Dodge and Apostle's Blessing to get the damage through. It's been a while since I've looked at Modern Kiln Fiend decks, but I'm sure they now use Monastery Swiftspear too.

Conjurer's Closet could be nice for some 'free' blinks.
Solemn Simulacrum is another interesting blink target.

4 of either Terramorphic Expanse or Evolving Wilds should help get the correct colour land.

Another way to combo with the leaches is to donate it then use spells like Mind Bend to change the leech's wording.

I mostly agree with what you're saying, the deck isn't focused enough on the main goal. But I disagree with the comment about the Drowned Catacombs. Catacombs may not have a fancy ability like scry, but it does enter the battlefield untapped, and that in its own is very important.

I'm not too clued up on Vintage / Legacy, but I have an idea: Painter's Servant + only one of the Circles could clear up a lot of space for other spells.It's just an idea, no idea if it'd be viable in the format.

That's what Orochi Leafcaller is for. The Leafcaller can change green mana into any other colour, including the blue required for Freed.

Congregation at Dawn to set up specific creatures.

Nice find on imprinting Worst Fears onto Panoptic Mirror. First card that comes to mind whenever I see the mirror is Paradox Haze, but with Worst Fears it'd be silly.

Thanks. I'll see if I have any of these cards and make changes accordingly. I will point out though that Silver Knight isn't Modern legal.

I like the idea, but the biggest problem I'm seeing is controlling what creatures are on to when you Manifest them. Courser does help some, but I think you need a more solid way to control what's on top and the first card that comes to mind is Congregation at Dawn.
