My original plan with the deck was to have a ton of mana artifacts, so that I could cast Daxos on turn 2 or 3, then be able to cast whatever I pulled from other players' libraries. Unfortunately, the majority of the time I pulled land. This meant I drew a ton of mana artifacts but had nothing to do with it. I ended up pulling a bunch of the mana rocks for cheaper draw and some answers.
The equipment suite was always in the deck. Despite having some limited evasion, it's still pretty simple for people to block Daxos. Giving him a Sword and double strike makes him that much better.
There are a few different ways to see what's on the top of a persons library, but most of them are bad, like Lantern of Insight and Wizened Snitches. Plus, people like to run Sensei's Divining Top and Crystal Ball, which are problematic for going heavily into this route. I cut way down on this stuff, and stuck with just a few cards that were usually useful even if people could shuffler their libraries.
Tarasco, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and am a subscriber to your channel. I have also built Daxos the Weak, as like you mentioned, was intrigued by his ability. When I get a chance I will post a deck list, to see if you would like to make any suggestions. Thanks, and keep fighting the good fight sir!

I don't like Moonring Island essentially because you use 2 lands to get the effect each turn. That's not very efficient. I'm running Jace, TMS, Azorius Charm, Memory Lapse and Hinder. Cards that were mentioned that I completely forgot about that could also be included are Portent and Submerge (because most of the time it'll be free). But I wouldn't go overboard with these effects, because if Daxos isn't in play most of the time they aren't very good.

Keep doing your great work!
I think, maybe another good card to get the cards you want with Daxos might be Unexpectedly Absent
Thanks! Yeah, that would be a good addition, specifically because it doesn't need Daxos to be useful
