It never feels good to cut a card like Crucible since its never bad. One fetch land means you're never going to miss a land drop again. That being said, it hasn't got much synergy with the deck besides Fall of the Thran. While that synergy is nice, Fall means you should be finishing the game. Games where you cast Fall and then slowly build back up again on the back of Crucible are rare (and if you want to keep friends, should be rare) so regretfully, Crucible has been benched for now.
The new starplayer however is Divine Visitation. This card won't help you when you're down but it sure as hell puts this deck into overdrive in every other situation. Any token producer starts pumping Serra Angels. Drop Elspeth, Sun's Champion and create 3 Serra Angels, Ophiomancer creates an Angel every upkeep. Army of the Damned vomits a crapton of angels into play and Ghoulcaller Gisa becomes a gamewinning engine on it's own (well in tandem with Divine Visitation). I've not tried it yet (card is in the mail), but i've dreamed about it and those were nice dreams.

Nice deck and thanks for the comment! I deliberately didn't go down the suture priest/zulaport cutthroat route since it's a pain keeping track of life totals that way plus games more or less act out in the same way. However it's a very powerful deck. You could try to add Sanguine Bond and Exquisite Blood to your deck. They synergize with what you are already doing on top of being a very strong combo in itself.
