I feel like if I played this I would want Kitchen Finks over Lone Missionary and 2 Restoration Angels over some Sun Titans. I'd also run Weathered Wayfarer and Knights of the pale orchid. Also I'd run 4 fetchlands and cut 2 Hallowed Fountains and some basics.
I think your card choices are valid, but ill reply that will be a game in a hundred where you absolutely need to revive a creature with sun titan and you can't because of the cost (restoration angel) or loose because your kitchen finks hand is not good enough to stop burn, or too slow! This is a goodstuff.dec with synergy, and all pieces tied together will win games consistently, in my opinion!

Leyline of Sanctity and Auriok Champion out of the board would fix burn and many other matchups. Combined with maindeck Kitchen Finks and you will be fine with Burn and not playing a crappy 2/1.
Edit: Crucible of Worlds Tectonic Edge to supplement Ghost Quarters, and Fetches should be in here for sure as they are good with Sun Titans.
Pale Orchid is really great, first strike 2/2 for 2 that mana fixes any plains (so hallowed fountains a go) and it enters the battlefield untapped? Its fantastic early and sometimes even late when you've been missing land drops.
Leonin Arbiter is counter intuitive because we do a lot of searching.
Resto angel is costly but effective.
Phantasmal image is actually really useful, terrible by itself but when you go Titan>Image>Copy Titan> Image>Copy Titan>???VALUE??? then its just silly.
I like Otujai's Command especially with Resto Angel so you have something else to play if one doesn't pan out. I'd also cut some lands for a Crucible of Worlds and a Weathered Wayfarer or two.
Collonade interfers with the emeria plan, but if you are running the 2 singleton islands to cast your blue spells, i see no problem with a 1-of collonade!
Trying to speed up the emeria, or trying to cast sun titan early isnt the way this deck should work, in my opinion! The biggest strength about azorius titan is not being afected by any specific sideboard strategy, that would "hate" out our deck. Graveyard hate shuts down the recursion, but you have so many turns to find answers to grave hate (and this deck is filled with them) that when sun titan hits or emeria is turned on, you enter hyperdrive mode! And if you want you can just ignore the hate, we have so many flyers and titan is HUGE, opponents just die when you are attacking!

Would splashing Green for Sakura Tribe Elder over Pilgrims Eye not be worth it? Can make a nasty ramp chain for Emeria
Also probably want 3-4 Meddling Mages and Rest in Peaces in the board, looks like Amulet and Grishoalbrand would be nigh impossible for this deck
Also, may want to run a 1 of Elesh Norn in the sideboard against B/r decks. If they're at all familiar with this deck, they'll probably Slaughter Games Sun Titan
Phantasmal is a good card in a deck like this but I'd say as a 2-of.
Vs combo (particularly non-twin ones that aren't super interactive), Meddling Mage is very good. I run a set of 4 in my bant company deck I'm playing currently and it has won me so many games vs amulet bloom, ad nauseum, etc.
Orchid is interesting. Fantastic on the draw because you'll generally be behind on lands, but after that he's pretty trash. Pilgrim's is better really (which is kinda funny) and i'd even rather run Simulacrum
Phantasmal should be ran, but only as a 2 of I think.
Mizzium Meddler is pretty funny against Splinter Twin decks, affinity, and Infect. I could see a version of this deck using Meddler and Restoration Angel to be devastating against some of the meta. I also am a fan of Mizzium Mage. I like Phantasmal Image a lot because if copying whatever they have brings you up to speed with there board by giving you a copy of there best guy. Sure it might be cute to make 4 Sun Titans later on, but it will end a durdle fest real fast.
I've been working on a BW version of the Titan Value deck. Haven't tested yet but am looking for feedback. It's obviously a big departure from the Azorius version. Maybe it's more your style?
It still ramps to Emeria activation with Sun Titan activations but it uses hand disruption and spot removal to control the game. It has a token making sub-theme that I think fits the overall plan very well.

Not sure if 25 or 24 lands is correct.
Enjoying it so far!
but I noticed this morning that it has some...

What do you guys think of Aether Vial and Celestial Colonnade in this deck?
