I need some help mostly with coming up with a sideboard for this. And tips are welcome, I don't often build serious standard decks.

I know for sure my sideboard will have {Selesnya Charm}s. probably {Rest in Peace} is a good idea as well, but I don't know how many I should include.

And I'm wondering if it'd be worth the investment to include a couple {entreat the angels} - main or side board. But if i somehow manage to find those in trades, what do i take out for them? Thoughts?

No, no penis wurm.  Without mana ramp, Thragtusk just seems like a better option, costing one less and helping me recover and stabilize. Sure it'd be nice to put 2 or 3 wurms in, but what would I take out? Collective blessing?

-1  {Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage}
-2 {Collective blessing}
+3 {Armada Wurm}

If you don't think you can cast penis wurm due to high cost then using collective blessing and guildmage are a bit counterintuitive.
Also the wurm makes Seance a little bit more usefull (personally I see no reason for 2 of it right now when all it would help with was if you had a thragy in the yard...

Solid advice, thank you! Right now seance works pretty well with thragtusk, sublime, and the Wayfaring temples. Would be nice to add the Wurm to its uses as well, and you're absolutely right about the guildmage and blessing. I will see if I can get a hold of a few, unfortunately that spikes my deck's cost up yet another $60 bucks haha

Any sideboard advice? I'm really struggling with it. This deck looks pretty mid-late game, what can I side in to help me vs super agro fast Rakdos type decks?

I found my selensya deck has serious issues with flying, maybe you could look a that for your sideboard options?
Stuff like {Plummet}, or {Prey Upon} might help there. {Bower Passage} might also be an option or just run more angels.  {Sigarda, Host of Herons} could be an option here too.
