Sideboard Flames of the Blood Hand and two more Skullcracks in case of lifegain (e.g. Bogles, Sphinx's Revelation)?

Maybe consider Winged Coatl? It doesn't really benefit from Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive since it is already hard to block, but it provides a defence against flyers, an extra Sosuke's Summons -recycling kill spell alongside Ambush Viper, and if you don't have Tetsuko it can still slip through for some damage. If you're willing to invest in Snow Basics for the sake of one card (although if you do, the mana base seems solid enough to add a couple Scrying Sheets), Ice-Fang Coatl also does these things while being cheaper to cast, although it doesn't really like Yavimaya Coast. Admittedly, all the Snow options might break the bank a little (roughly doubling the cost of the deck), but Winged Coatl is quite cheap.

Kor Firewalker might almost deserve a spot on the maindeck; it would help offset all the damage your own Eidolon of the Great Revel will deal to you.

Maybe Drownyard Temple? The deck might be a bit too colour-intensive for it, but it looks like it will sometimes have the mana to spare and getting lands straight back to the field after retracing them is nice.

Consider Blossoming Sands/Graypelt Refuge/Kabira Crossraods, Radiant Fountain/Glimmerpost and in particular Interplanar Beacon. Obviously don't use all of these at once, especially since the first three can kill tempo and the last three are more colourless lands, but they are Heliod-triggers that can be pulled out by Expedition Map and Sylvan Scrying. They also make it easier to stay alive long enough to pull out Urzatron and play the heavyweights. Maybe the respective penalties are a bit too steep for any of these to be worth putting in, but they should at least be worth looking at.

Maybe Journey to Nowhere? Fits the theme and deals with the most common threat more efficiently than O-Ring, but you'd have to make room for it somewhere.

Maybe Cerebral Vortex > Divination? It draws at instant speed and can act as a finishing 3 damage, but you'll have to take 2 when you want to draw cards.

Ah, I see (sorry). But even then, I would consider Curse of Bloodletting a bit weak, since it's usually only going to be triggered by Curse of Thirst and Serrated Scorpion (maybe an unflipped Accursed Witch, but your probably going to want to turn that one over ASAP), and once Curse of Thirst properly comes online its going to close the game pretty soon regardless of CoB. Since the deck's mana sources are all black, I'd recommend Torment of Scarabs or Trespasser's Curse, both of which work on their own and can be hard-casted should you draw them.

I like the deck; really good idea to use the witches with Blood Funnel, but is it really worth splashing red just for two copies of Curse of Bloodletting? I think something like Ghostly Prison or Sphere of Safety might be more helpful (or if you really prefer the dramatic route, Enduring Ideal).

*Facepalm at self* He doesn't, does he? I just saw 'copy' and didn't look back. Sorry 
Nice to know that the comment wasn't total garbage, even if none of the good creatures actually came from Amonkhet. (I agree with your choices by the way, don't mean to sound bitter.)
In an an attempt to preserve some dignity, I'll point out that Volrath doesn't actually demand a -1/-1 counter specifically (I think... my track record at reading the card isn't great); Isareth the Awakener was the first to spring to my mind, but Heroes' Bane could be very scary indeed, and I believe copying Grimgrin, Corpse-Born lets Volrath untap normally, still zap enemies on the attack, have psuedo-vigilance and buff himself. Also, while The Mimeoplasm is generally used as the commander rather than a supporter, it puts counters on itself, is in colour, generally strong and lets Volrath copy a nice critter that died before you wanted it to.

What about all those Amonkhet cards that have a great cost to p/t ratio but come in with -1/-1 counters (e.g. Channeler Initiate, Soulstinger, Decimator Beetle, etc.; most of them are in colour)? Volrath can take advantage of their p/t 'cos he doesn't copy the counter, while still keeping their generally helpful abilities.

10 years... that's kind of humbling (I've been playing on and off for four-ish years). And it's touching that someone made an account specifically for one of my decks  .
About the deck, if tournament legality isn't an issue for you, it was derived from a design built around Wood Sage (the deck manipulation like Halimar Depths and Sage of Epityr were put in with Sage in mind, though Coiling Oracle loves them too); he's pretty cheap $-wise, he'd be good here. Other options (if you can't get the default list at your local stores) include Satyr Wayfinder, Faerie Seer, Sage Owl, Vedalken Mastermind, Manglehorn and, yes, Bounding Krasis .
