What Direction To Take my G/W Midrange

Hello all,
deck:trick-or-entreat-the-angels
This is my first, and go-to, standard deck that I have focused on and taken to FNM (only one so far and have improved it alot since then). I never really had much wiggle room with my extra trader cards but now have a few shocks and goodies that I could use to contribute more to my deck.
My question overall is, should I leave my deck as is? Would experimenting with a third colour just be an expensive side-grade or would splashing black or blue be really beneficial? I know that flickering Obzedat, Ghost Council with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice and such is quite good, and I already have Thragtusks which are popular in many decks. What kind of shocks and checklands would I be looking at for three colours?
Thanks for any advice (you can also critque my deck in its G/W format as is!)
Color splashing works like this...how big is the divide? In my jund I run almost a full playset of both dual lands available foreach combo. So I run 23 duals and 2 kessig wolf runs. I also have the colors in almost perfect thirds so it works best that way. If you are going to play aJunk build...b/w/g then it depends on if one color really is a splash or a full deck component. If its a splash you can get away with adding a few basics. If its a part of the dd I get the duals.

Also I was most curious about splashing black because 1) Overgrown Tomb and Woodland Cemetery are very cheap compared to most other colour combinations, although Godless Shrine and Isolated Chapel are not, in comparison. 2) going with blue causes cards like Sphinx's Revelation and Geist of Saint Traft to become necessary, which i can't afford.
How does colour fixing work? would I need both Overgrown Tomb and Godless Shrine for the full splash of black, or does working with just Overgrown Tomb work and then let my Sunpetal Grove and Temple Gardens cover plains?
