Much rougher idea, not as interested. But what the hell right? Blink and control, win with beats when their stuff is all tapped down I guess. Might not mind doing soldiers, will look into that later.
Crystal Shard could be a versatile way of bouncing your general. It is also great when your opponents forget about it and tap out, not really something to rely on but I've 'got them' before. I've also found it to be quite powerful with Archaeomancer or Mnemonic Wall. You're already running a few instants and sorcery to return and you could really lay down the law with recurring Cyclonic Rifts. Kismet and Frozen Aether fit the theme as well.
Good to see another Lavinia commander around. I made my deck and planning to try it out this weekend. I think she has potential to be really powerful in certain situation and a great tempo swing.
I like Ghostway, it can protect your creatures from removals, boardwipes, and gives your general another ETB trigger.
If you're blinking a lot Rasputin Dreamweaver likes that happening to him. He's more of a commander choice but he can be useful as acceleration too. Checking out decklists that run him might give you some ideas. Meddling Mage also likes being blinked and it's halfway decent as a way to stall out combo decks in earlier turns. People forget about Otherworldly Journey a lot too, but it's a solid flicker effect that even pumps up your creature a bit. Nice for making Lavinia beatdown a bit more effectively. Empyrial Plate is a cheap and solid way to turn "draw, go" into a clock for control decks, especially with an evasive or pseudo-evasive general. Equip costs on flickering creatures can be too much though.
You might like Preeminent Captain for a soldier theme, Benalish Commander can be fun, though tokens don't like being flickered. Loxodon Gatekeeper is another Kismet effect on a creature, and he's a soldier to boot. Stormfront Riders lets you return guys to your hand while making a soldier token. Stonecloaker is in most Rasputin lists, and Admonition Angel can let you exile a bunch of your own CIP creatures then flicker or return her to your hand for a storm of triggers. Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir gives all your dudes flash, same with Vedalken Orrey so you can hold back Lavinia or other guys and make the deck much more of a creature-based contol deck. Momentary Blink is another good flicker effect, with Flashback even.
Lot of stuff you can pack in, just depends on the theme you're going for and how you want the deck to operate.

To be frank, I don't like anyone in this list.
I believe that she is best when we don't overemphasize her detain aspect but treat her as a good ETB creature.
Regarding Soldier theme this is my list:

The most notable aspect in my list is Skullclamp and Mobilization.
