Back in Ravnica: City of Guilds standard, there was a deck that ran around Tallowisp and Ghost Council of Orzhova. Now that we have access to more cards, maybe it can return?
2. Make a list yourself so we can see what it should look like. ie: the general number of cards to run.
3. I think you are overestimating some of the cards you listed. I can't see Gloom surgeon even being plausible (although a hilarious card). Why just not make an Esper Zur deck without all the spirits to water it down?
The problem with tallowisp is that you can only get enchant creature cards. If it let you get any aura it would be an extremely powerful engine for modern. You could cram it into w/u/b w/b or w/u shells with shoals and crush faces. The issue is you have now though is that it is a bad boggles deck. Also shinning shoal is not good enough to beat burn.
I have an esper zur deck that uses zur, geist, kira, and deputy of acquittals as the creature base for an enchantment laden deck. Deputy is most often ambush viper while I hold up counter mana, but has saved a few zurs. The deck was much more explosive when deathrite shaman was legal, but it's fun now. Some counters, some hand disruption, some dudes, lots of enchantments.

You do know that it can find any aura right?

On mtgsalvation people don't want to discuss ideas, so I give people something else to discuss: my controversial opinions.
It says on the card "enchant creature" which has been oracled to "an aura card with enchant creature."
Correct. If I could tutor any aura up it would be extremely good. You could run U/W with spreading seas, genju of the fields and cards like wheel of sun and moon or chain to the rocks. The enchant creature is too narrow. You need to be able to force a player to cast on your turn or play at instant speed. A enchantment based deck can't do that so it needs the best cards. Tallowisp is not a good enough engine to get those cards.
