Snake Basket
Artifact
(X), Sacrifice Snake Basket: Put X 1/1 green Snake creature tokens into play. Play this ability only any time you could play a sorcery.

Kaya's Ghostform can't enchant Lotus Petal. Maybe you are thinking of another card Venoctus?
Bretagard Stronghold, Cryptic Caves, Encroaching Wastes, Blast Zone there are a ton of lands you can sac for value (and not that expensive of most).
Snake Basket is a lot of chump blockers but not thematic. Any of the Goad enchantments.

carpecanum Thanks for the suggestions!
Stolen Strategy can certainly lend itself to some fun games, and I'd highly consider it if I were building a "fun" deck. This deck is just meant to be fast, strong, and consistent. I would never play Zada if I wanted to have fun...it's just too linear and repetitive. Stolen Strategy is the kind of card that can keep you from running out of steam, but if Zada loses momentum it'll take more than random spells to save the game in the kind of meta I'm designing for with this deck. Fun card though!!!
Snake Basket seems slow to me. It would be useful with infinite mana, but that's really rare in this deck. For my "get creatures on the field" cards, I usually look at the mana-to-body ratio. A 1-1 ratio is pretty good up to 3 creatures, and past that it tends to be an extra mana because everything is contained in one card. So 5 mana for 4 bodies would be good. Snake basket has a loss of 4 mana, and most of the time I won't be able to create enough tokens for it to be worth it. See something like Tempt with Vengeance for a great example of a "create x" spell.
Mob Rule seems amazing in concert with Battle Hymn. I don't know how often I'll have the mana to cast it but I definitely think it's worth testing!

Stolen Strategy could give you access to more creatures and spells. I wouldn't consider it in 1v1 games.
Snake Basket maybe and I would definitely try out Mob Rule for more creatures to target.

Some thoughts
-
Snake Basket isn’t modern legal.
-
with this many 1-ofs and 2-ofs, i’d suggest a playset (4-of) Whir of Invention.
-
Try and get your deck down to 60 cards, 74 is faaar too many cards, it’ll make your hands and draws much weaker.
-
when you cut back to 60 cards, you’ll probably want to go back to 22-23 lands (percentage-wise, this is the same as you’re currently running).
-
Modern is a fast format, and you’re running waaay too many high mana cards (cmc 4 or above). I would suggest cutting back on these severely, so that most of your deck costs 0-3 mana.

Bringer of the White Dawn . Maybe throw in Snake Basket as an alternate.

Keiga, the Tide Star is fun to duplicate. Duplicant maybe.
Snake Basket , Notorious Throng , Aether Mutation , Saber Ants , Broodhatch Nantuko , Progenitor Mimic , Pest Infestation
I'm not a rules guy. Would Sylvan Offering allow you to create elves before treefolk?
Copying Master Biomancer or Biovisionary is so good, maybe replace a couple "lesser" creatures with creature tutors?

Grinning Totem, Snake Basket and maybe Living Armor are fun artifacts your boss could abuse.
Pit Trap? Solemn Simulacrum? Gauntlets of Chaos?
Creatures with "Modular" might be fun since you have a ton of artifact creatures to get counters. I see the Crusher in there but the cheaper 1 or 2 mana guys might be more useful as chump blockers and free counters.
Mobile Garrison could give your boss an extra untap.
