Nice deck, however I do think some improvements could be made.

Firstly, it would be good to add a couple more dual lands to increase deck consistency. You need 14 green mana sources to be able to cast ancient stirrings turn 1 more than 90% of the time, and 13 black mana sources for Heartless Summoning (source https://www.channelfireball.com/articles/how-many-colored-mana-sources-do-you-need-to-consistently-cast-your-spells-a-guilds-of-ravnica-update/)

Secondly, one of the problems that Heartless Summoning decks have is that they aren't very good when they don't have it. You have improved this by including multiple copies in Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma and Conduit of Ruin, however if anything removes your Heartless Summonings you don't have anything to recur, protect or win if you don't have it. Consider adding recursion like Noxious Revival, protection like Heroic Intervention or more low-cost creatures so that you can win without Heartless Summoning effects. You can do most of this in the sideboard  if you create one but you should main deck some of the prior effects

As I said, this is a great deck and I hope you keep working on it :)

And Artisan of Kozilek doesn't count as recursion as you're probably using Heartless Summoning to cast it.

Thanks for the tips!
which "low cost" creatures do you suggest me to add? Ramping creatures? And what would you take off?
