I really like Ashioks's Erasure. Though I'm diddling with a more midrangey approach.
If anything, I'd do away with all the Charmed Sleeps, Sleep Paralyses and Capture Spheres (flash saves this one a little bit, though why not just use Lawmage's Binding?). Instead, you haveOblivion Rings Banishing Lights which are just overall better,
I realize some of those are there to facilitate draw with verity circle, but I would rather just use Thirst of Meaning instead.
I think Starfield Mystic needs a bit of support as well to be the win condition you deserve, while it's hard to argue with a 2WW wrath, you could save them with Time Warp.
In any case, it would be nice to actually have some enchantments go into the graveyard so it can grow a bit. As it is, your best bet would be to make him indestructible as you wrath, which isn't impossible, but
feels like jumping through unnecessary hoops. The black -X/-X stuff is better synergy with him, so you may consider adding a color in your life. Green is another decent candicate with Setessan Champion,
but doesn't seem to have that much to offer apart from ramp.
If not adding a color, you have stuff like Dreadful Apathy and Heliod's Punishment which aren't super efficient, but there's a tiny bit more synergy to them.
Another approach is picking a saga or two, which will go to the graveyard eventually. I'm not super hot on Elspeth Conquers Death for five, cause its cmc restriction misses a few important things, but it could work when discounted.
Medomai's Prophecy takes its time to go through the chapters and I feel it could do a bit more.
The off color sagas look a bit better, I would be quite partial to Elspeth's Nightmare, First Iroan Games can also be good value.
Final thing to consider is Alseid of Life's Bounty. Keeps the Mystic Alive and gives a counter on sac, can also protect important enchantments. I would most definitely use them with setessans.
