Thanks a lot for your comment Destroyerbirb! I definitely love the snow archetype. If you have your deck posted please share it, I would love to see more snow decks (at least for casual play).
As for your suggestions, these are my thoughts:
-
Add Diamond Faerie: the issue I have with it is that, is not only hard to cast, but the +1/+1 ability does not do a lot for me in this deck.
-
Add Phyrexian Soulgorger: is definitely a card I would consider as a one of or 2 max, because once I play it I need to win on that turn.The fact that is colorless helps a lot. Is probably worth trying.
-
Add Icehide Golem: I like this card a lot and I used to have them in the deck, but my experience with it is mostly negative. It dies to everything, it is hard to keep in in play for more than one turn.
-
Add Engineered Explosives: is definitely a card to include, I just do not own one at this moment, but is the natural replacement for Ratchet Bomb.
-
Add Pithing Needle: I do have a couple of them, the only reason I went with Sorcerous Spyglass is because this is kind of a ramp deck and 2 mana is not hard to get.
-
Remove Dryad of the Ilysian Grove: I find it hard to cut him from the deck since it not only fixes the mana, but also adds an extra snow permanent into play as early as turn 2 if you get a perfect opening hand by playing extra lands. The only way to replace it would be to lower the mana curve a lot so as to be able to put something into play every turn, like the options you suggested, Phyrexian Soulgorger and Icehide Golem are probably the best options to replace him since they are colorless and cost little mana.

Have you thought of adding Diamond Faerie for more casual play, plus Phyrexian Soulgorger as a threat and Icehide Golem. (It's such an underrated card) I play a snow deck like this, and it's fun. I would add the Engineered Explosives in the sideboard instead of the Sorcerous Spyglass, and a Pithing Needle instead of the other Sorcerous Spyglass. Also, the Dryad of the Ilysian Grove has little synergy in the deck, so I would cut it. But that's just my opinion.

Budget may forbid, but Prismatic Vista is a great card for a snow deck. You have a very low mana curve, I think it’s a good idea to have fewer total lands and mana dorks; alternatively add in Diamond Faerie as a sink for all that late-game mana.
With as much gas as this deck has, it may be a good idea to run Growth Spiral instead of Into the North, as you get card draw in addition.
You don’t need 4 of Marit Lage's Slumber; maybe 2x and 2x Lightning Greaves to attack immediately.
You have no non-creature removal; at bare minimum you might want to obtain Remand.
I run a 5-color snow deck, it may be of interest to you.

You can probably cut Diamond Faerie for 1 more Glacial Rev and one mana removal like Skred :)
If your mana can support it, Frostwalk Bastion can be a great manland.
How has Ohran Viper preformed for you?

That's a tough question. After a good look-over, I think I'd cut the
Boreal Druid
s. My thought process on that is this: generally, one-cmc mana dorks are most powerful and most useful when you're playing them on turn 1 to slam a high-power 3 drop on turn 2. The only thing you're running that I would consider being worth the dedicated dorks to be able to slam on turn 2 is Blood Moon - and in order to do that, you have to have exactly forest, boreal druid, blood moon, and either mountain or prismatic vista in your opening hand & first draw - since you're only running one mountain, that's highly unlikely.
I'm not saying Boreal Druid is a bad card, I'm just saying that in the type of shell you've built here I think more often than not when you draw it, you're going to wish you had drawn something else. That does bring your creature count a bit low though, and seeing how it's already on the lower end that's something we want to avoid. All things considered, here's what I'd do:
Cut: 1x
Marit Lage's Slumber
, 3x
Growth Spiral
, 1x
Carnage Tyrant
, 4x
Boreal Druid
Add: 1x
Into the North
, 2x
Assassin's Trophy
, 2x
Diamond Faerie
, 4x
Glacial Revelation
Of course, that's just my opinion. Whatever yuo decide to do, good luck and have fun with it!

Check your decklist. You have two copies of Intangible Virtue listed in your enchantments.
That being said, in Fairies is something of a trap, as there are literally only 10 Fairies with that colour in them - and Diamond Faerie with Rubinia Soulsinger also have , taking them further out of your colour identity.
I would honestly go straight Oona, Queen of the Fae if you intend to keep to the Fairies theme, and delve into the Tribal mechanic. Coat of Arms is traditional while Door of Destinies is a good alternative. Brass Herald should be a bulk Rare from 8th Edition or an Uncommon from Invasion for the budget alternative to Adaptive Automaton .
Sol Ring is printed in every Commander precon, so getting your hands on one should not be difficult or expensive, and is a good mana accelerant.

Out of curiosity, have you considered a half-snow deck? What's the upside to only playing snow cards? I know Glacial Revelation gets good, but is it really worth playing a bunch of, quite frankly, bad cards like Diamond Faerie and Gelid Shackles ?
I'm personally a big fan of BUG for a snow deck. Ice-Fang Coatl and Dead of Winter seem really good, but I'm not sold on the rest of the snow cards.

In Modern Horizons, given the all of the cards are spoiled now, I think Snow is a real deck.
Based Green, while splashing white and blue, this list has a lot going for it.
The Manabase isn't bad. Between Prismatic Vista and like 7 fetches (3 misty, 2 Windswept, 2 Flooded), along with 2 plains and 2 islands, 4 forests, and a Scrying Sheets , that manabase works well, because this list has a lot of ramp. Mouth of Ronom , Frostwalk Bastion , Boreal Shelf , Artic Flats, as well as some other lands are considerations, but I am not a huge fan.
Into the North , Rime Tender, Arcum's Astrolabe , and Boreal Druid help our mana a lot.
Ice-Fang Coatl and Ohran Viper are card draw/removal, but On Thin Ice and Gelid Shackles are strong answers too. Glacial Revelation is the strongest card in the deck, while Ambominable Treefolk is our massive beater.
Diamond Faerie is a secondary option as a finisher, my rough list runs 2 mainboard. It can close out games.
Icehide Golem is another quick beatstick.
Simple list, ramp, draw, removal, and beaters, but all of them are well above the normal rate.

Additionally, I think a mono-green list and simic list may have legs too.
