given that you are running 3 colors, Thirsting Roots can let you mana-fix early or proliferate your spore counters once you've built a board. regardless, another banger deck Gattison

Do you plan to add any basic lands? Thirsting Roots can be a fast proliferate for cards like Pentad Prism or Fertilid to get your colors. Fathom Mage is a good draw engine especially in proliferate decks. Contentious Plan is also good for proliferating. All these cards are cheap. It seems like you lack control though, but a lot of control cards are staples like Swords to Plowshares so idk if you're intentionally staying away from cards that you see copy and pasted in every deck.

Suggestions

Tear Asunder better removal

Drown in Ichor cool removal idea

Viridian Betrayers is bad outside of draft I think. Could be any infect creature

Lay of the Land is Strictly worse Dig Up or Thirsting Roots

I think there are a few new cool creatures that improve your plan like Bloated Contaminator or other creatures with toxic.

Happy brewing.
