I guess we need to decide on what the broken thing we can do is. Estrids is a powerful banedrifter, but so are uro, and, endurance. I think we need to go relatively deep to not just be bad Bant or stoneblade.
Endurance is not a "Banedrifter", it's loaming shaman with reach and flash.
You do need to go "relatively deep" to build a better Uro but I'm already doing that lol (why else play cards like History of Benalia or Omen of the Sea in legacy).

I think Serra’s sanctum plus classes are the answer. Classes provide a critical density of cheap enchantments for serras sanctum, and provides a bunch of mana sinks for all that extra mana. The current most common enchantment based decks either don’t have enough uses for white mana (enchantress) or enough enchantments (curses) to play 4 like elves does. Classes also means that we should always have a backup enchantment target so we can go deeper on synergies without being punished.
Theory crafting:
Paladin Class should be the starting point. It both enables and uses Serra sanctum the best. It is a poor mans version of Gaea’s cradle plus allosaurus shepherd.
Extremely poor mans version lol
I think you are overrating the 1st ability on Paladin Class by a lot
Then I don't think the Glorious Anthem effect is even very good (the deck just doesn't have enough creatures in it and isn't aggressive enough)
The best enabler for Serras Sanctum is
1) abundant growth because it's a cheap enchantment that just replaces itself
2) Wild/Utopia sprawl because its a cheap enchantment that also ramps (so you can successfully cast your expensive cards even in games where you don't have serras sanctum).
I really don't understand this sudden obsession with Paladin Class

Yorion is another low opportunity cost way to sink a bunch of white mana. Serras sanctum solves the issue of running a 5 drop in a low to the ground deck.
What does "low to the ground" even mean here, the list is firmly midrange
Quote:
History of Benalia is better by itself and also is a nice use of extra white mana.
Were there meant to be some in the list
Quote:
Legion’s Landing is similar to paladin class in that it is both a good enabler and utilizer of Serra’s sanctum.
Is it? Paying 3 mana to make a 1/1
You also can't copy it with Estrid because it's legendary
