Firstly, thanks for reading. I've been a casual player for a while now and I'm looking for some advice in bringing this deck up to an acceptable FNM standard.

The basic strategy is to use enchantments and extort to wear down the opponent and gain life, while protected from aggro and high power with the removal and my own big butt creatures. Bombs come in the form of Obzedat, Guardian of the Grove and Angelic Accord. Against a control deck the idea is to outpace them with the low cost of the enchantments and attacking creatures, possibly sideboarding in some hexproof with Alpha Authority and Ranger's Guile.

I'm aware of Theros coming just around the corner so I'm trying to avoid M13 and Innistrad Block cards and all of the cards I included so far are from M14 and RTR/GTC/DGM.

I own most of the cards in the main deck list already and I'm working within some fairly limited budget constraints so there's only so much I can spend on single cards (e.g. Archangel of Thune is extremely pricey in the UK right now, otherwise I'd already have it in the maindeck).

I'm fully aware of how my deck is deficient in terms of shock/dual lands. I'll finalise this part of the deck after Theros' new lands are introduced and I figure out what maybeboard items end up in the brew.

Any tips, help, ideas and criticisms would be greatly appreciated. Please don't come out and say "it's shit", "don't bother", "it won't work in meta", etc, because I live in an area where the two LGS's FNM isn't what you'd call 'high level FNM' and I'm having some fun by not copying pro netdecks.
