I've found I need some wider and more permanent board control/wipes which also need more mana flexibility. So, I've made/will make the following adjustments:
-3 Drag Under -3 Just the Wind -3 Grip of the Roil -2 Scour the Laboratory -1 Comparative Analysis -1 Transgress the Mind -3 Island
+3 Horribly Awry +3 Void Shatter +3 Languish +3 Biting Rain +1 Catalog +2 Sunken Hollow +1 Swamp
Instead of Void Shatter I'm considering Spell Shrivel for the mana flexibility and it would likely drain their mana pool if they save it.
I'm also thinking about Turn Aside to protect my Curious Homunculus Flip.
What do y'all think about these ideas and changes?
Read the Bones and Welcome to the Fold might be worth considering too. With Wharf Infiltrator, Geier Reach Sanitarium or Catalog you can steal your opponents creatures.

Also I know this is not going to ever win you games but you could get Tree of Perdition just in the deck as a blocker.
Although I think Thing in the Ice Flip would do perhaps instead.

One more thing, I think the decks name might sound better as "Behold the Alignment."

Thank you for the comments/suggestions! I agree that Thing in the Ice Flip would be a pretty good fit, though I'm working on what to swap it for. Right now I'm considering my Scour the Laboratorys, a Transgress the Mind, and a Comparative Analysis or Anticipate.
I also like the Geier Reach Sanitarium land.
Tree of Perdition, Welcome to the Fold, and Read the Bones are intriguing, especially the latter, but I think they may slow up the deck too much since they're comparatively higher mana cost and I'd have to take away some crowd control and/or draw power. And the life lost from Read the Bones could be a fatal set back.
So here's what I'm thinking...- 2Scour the Laboratory, - 1Transgress the Mind, -1 Comparative Analysis, +4 Thing in the Ice Flip
-1 Island, -1 Swamp, +2 Geier Reach Sanitarium
Thoughts?

Yeah I was thinking take out Scour the Laboratory too. Transgress the Mind will do as well.
Yeah as for the lands I agree as 2x Geier Reach Sanitarium is a good number as anymore might cause problems since they are a legendary land.

Some of those cards you have in the maybe board why not make instead into a sideboard?
Sphinx of the Final Word 1x can go in it. Then 1-2x Inverter of Truth perhaps.

Well done for giving Hedron Alignment a try, I hadn't thought of using Behold the Beyond for a deck list this. But I might try to build something like this perhaps. Although if I was to make it, I probably would have more creatures. Thing in the Ice Flip would help and luckily I just got my 3rd and 4th ones today!
You may want to consider Wharf Infiltrator and or Geier Reach Sanitarium. Each gives a way to discard a Hedron Alignment.
