To clarify the title, this is a red and white control deck with a focus on Transcendence.
Old school MTG player here and first time posting. Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section.
Have been making updates to my deck and wanted to get some input if that's cool. Note that I am NOT experienced with and would NOT like to play with modern decks (Jace things) since I play among my core group of friends with our baseline decks that we built over 10 years ago.
At the moment, the deck is sitting at 62 cards and would ideally like to cut 2 down to 60. Furthermore, there are a handful of cards that I mention below that were strongly considered for the deck that are worth checking out as well. Please note that in terms of budget, I've already purchased the expensive cards that I list and would preferably not to add more of them (e.g. Land Tax).
Welcome to the forum, unfortunately you posted in Standard (Type 2). Mods should move this to casual or legacy, but seeing how you're just playing with friends it's probably in casual.

The idea behind the deck is that I can get the Transcendence/Sulfuric Vortex out quickly with the help of Lost Auramancers and Enlightened Tutor while protecting them with cards like Fountain Watch and being able to bring them out of the graveyard using Auramancer and Open the Vaults. Should the combo not pan out, I can always climb back up to near 20 health using Transcendence before sacrificing the enchantment to gain an additional 6 life with Faith Healer. There's also a second combo in this deck with Sulfuric Vortex, Oblivion Ring, and Worldfire.
ANY help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Here's the deck:
1 Tethered Griffin
2 Fountain Watch
