I'm actually finding that Relic Seeker is somewhat redundant with Serene Steward in tow, and I dislike when I get creature-congested and try to limit myself to 5.

I strongly disagree with Relic Seeker being redundant. Having Relic Seeker and Mini-Seeker in your deck just makes your draws a lot more consistent. It's not like having multiple ways to give your creatures +1/+1 every turn is bad and unlike Serene Steward it doesn't require any setup. I've also tried both Murder Investigation and Knightly Valor in my decks and I found them to be cards I discarded frequently. I would much rather cast creatures than easily destroyed supports. Even if the effects were permanent, Murder Investigation is a card that's great sometimes, but frequently a dead card in your hand. Knightly Valor is a card that is good most times, but I'd much rather be casting a creature with a similar effect. One card that I didn't mention that is beyond phenomenal is Felidar Sovereign. Unfortunately the card is mythic so it's unlikely I'll see it anytime soon. Felidar Sovereign will probably replace Kytheon's Irregulars in my deck. With 3 lifelinkers, it's unlikely that Serene Steward's ability will go to waste. Plus the card is a an absolute beast. A 4/6 viglance lifelinker for 8 mana is a just a terrific value card.

What to take out for the Lantern Scout is the tough part though. Or maybe the ally deck is better used with the new PW

It's not like having multiple ways to give your creatures +1/+1 every turn is bad and unlike Serene Steward it doesn't require any setup. Having your hand clogged with a bunch of top tier creatures is not a bad problem to have. You could perhaps consider a cheap spell like Ondu Rising or Lithomancer's Focus. Actually, Ondu Rising is a tempting card to take advantage of both Noyan Dar and Serene Steward's abilities. I've also tried both Murder Investigation and Knightly Valor in my decks and I found them to be cards I discarded frequently. I would much rather cast creatures than easily destroyed supports. Even if the effects were permanent, Murder Investigation is an extremely situational card and Knightly Valor is less useful when you're not as reliant on Vigilance to kill creatures.
