Tsukimi I understand that argument to a degree but I think it's possible to look at a shaman inside mtg or other fictional setting and separate it from real world shamans. Like I don't look at a card like Avacynian Priest and think of a guy at my local church even though the church of avacyn is heavily inspired by real world religions beliefs.

My cleric deck looks similar, but there have been a number of newer clerics that are good role players in such a tribal deck you may be interested in. Order of the Stars , Beloved Chaplain , and even Avacynian Priest can help you build a defense while you're looking for your win condition.
Heck, since I've rebuilt this deck myself, I find that much of the core no longer is included.
If you're looking for some more thoughts on what I did, you can see the deck here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/24-07-14-clergy/

Lets say someone cast Shock and target my Avacynian Priest, if I cast right away Blossoming Defense and target Avacynian Priest, will it be to late to save him? or that will defend him from Shock? Thanks!

Good shout.
I might take a mix of the Avacynian Priest and the Mystic. That way I can cover any human creatures that I want to lock as well.

Sigardian Priest/Avacynian Priest is a cheaper version of the loxodon.

So I'm bored and I literally just Gatherer searched for white humans :) I'm basically just throwing things at you and hoping some will stick. There's more humans here than you'll know what to do with, but I'm confident that you'll find use out of some of them.
So, without further adieu, here are 51 out of the 644 humans that I looked through.
- Consul's Lieutenant to help your creatures deal more damage
- Hanweir Militia Captain Flip to benefit from your many weenies
- Academy Rector for tutoring
- Aegis of the Gods to protect you
- Auriok Champion is the long-lost Sister
- Avacynian Priest isn't toooo good, but flavor!
- Banisher Priest to get rid of things you hate
- Bastion Protector to be Mikaeus' Bodygruard
- Cho-Manno, Revolutionary because who likes damage, anyway?
- Containment Priest hates Cheatyfaces who play with the graveyard or put creatures on the battlefield from their library. N.B.: tokens are still safe
- Crusader of Odric cause you already have both editions of Odric ;)
- Crusading Knight laughs at Doom Blade
- Darien, King of Kjeldor because, while his peeps are not actually humans, they kinda are...?
- Devoted Caretaker protects your creatures
- Elite Inquisitor is flavorful, and not too bad
- Evangel of Heliod because HOLY CRAP
- Fabled Hero is pretty great cough double strike cough cough heroic cough
- Favored Hoplite is one of my favorite one-drops
- Fencing Ace for flavor (he studied under the Mentor of the Meek, probably) and double strike
- Fiend Hunter is another Banisher Priest
- Fiendslayer Paladin has some sweet artwork. Honestly, that alone should count for a lot. Oh yeah, he's also good!
- Frontline Medic to grant indestructible
- Geist-Honored Monk is slightly better than Crusader of Odric
- Gideon's Avenger is sure to get big
- Glowrider is Thalia's BFF
- Grand Abolisher... hehehe
- Hero of Bladehold loves going wide
- Intrepid Hero punishes green
- Kjeldoran Royal Guard takes one (read: all) for the team
- Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon" because we love creature buffs!
- Lightwielder Paladin could be very rude
- Lost Order of Jarkeld is yet another Crusader
- Masako the Humorless... I can't think of a witty comment for this one :/
- Mother of Runes to protect her children
- Northern Paladin is racist (the irony!)
- Oracle en-Vec reads like a novel, but the end is well worth it
- Oracle's Attendants acts like Kjeldoran Royal Guard
- Order of the Sacred Torch because you are now playing blue
- Paladin en-Vec has built-in protection from red and black
- Preacher gives some very long sermons
- Precinct Captain has lots of friends
- Ranger of Eos because you have weenies
- Riders of Gavony, against tribal, is very effective
- Serene Master is probably the funniest blocker
- Serra Ascendant... if it weren't banned :(
- Soul's Attendant wants to be with her Sister
- Student of Warfare is good, but will be a target because it looks different (like in junior high)
- Transcendent Master, exactly the same way
- True Believer is Aegis' older brother
- Veteran Armorer buffs up your creatures
- Village Bell-Ringer is a better-looking Quazimodo that scares your creatures into blocking
And that's it :D

Your deck doesn't seem to have much of a theme other than white dudes, you want to cement what your deck does. Does it produce lots of creatures? Is it tribal humans? How does your deck win?
I am assuming this is a Casual deck. This will make your deck more humie centric.Plains -> Emeria, The Sky RuinPlains -> Mage-Ring NetworkPlains -> Myriad LandscapePlains -> Windbrisk HeightsBoros Elite -> Accorder PaladinBoros Elite -> Accorder PaladinBoros Elite -> Thraben DoomsayerBoros Elite -> Thraben DoomsayerThalia, Guardian of Thraben -> Thraben DoomsayerThalia, Guardian of Thraben -> Thraben DoomsayerSerra Avenger -> Archetype of CourageSerra Angel -> Archetype of CourageAven Squire -> Avacynian PriestAven Squire -> Avacynian PriestDoomed Traveler -> Angel of Glory's RiseDoomed Traveler -> Champion of the ParishDoomed Traveler -> Champion of the ParishMidnight Haunting -> Cavalry PegasusCrusader of Odric -> Riders of GavonyPacifism -> Swords to PlowsharesPacifism -> Swords to PlowsharesPacifism -> Swords to PlowsharesSpectral Procession -> Swords to PlowsharesSpectral Procession -> Path to Exile
