Oops, all spells... in modern?

Oops, all spells is a legacy deck that utilizes a lot of key pieces that modern doesn't have access to. (Nether Shadow, Ichorid, Cabal Therapy, Dread Return) I had been surfing the web, and travis Woo did an article way back last year about a version in modern. I liked it a lot, so I decided to put my own spin on it.

The idea of my deck is to use fast mana in the form of Simian Spirit Guide and Chancellor of the Tangle to ramp out an AEther Vial turn one or turn two, while also using either a Phantasmagorian T1 or an Insolent Neonate turn two off AEther Vial to establish a dredge base. Dredge until you get some narcamoebas onto the field and at least one Bridge from Below into your graveyard. Use AEther Vial to fill the board with cards like Blisterpod, Young Wolf, and Wild Cantor in addition to the narcamoebas. Use Viscera Seer to sacrifice all those creatures, have them come back in some form, all the while creating zombies. Use your creatures to convoke Endless Obedience onto a Balustrade Spy, milling yourself, but make sure you have either Snapcaster Mage or another Endless Obedience, or you've screwed yourself. Either AEther Vial in Snapcaster Mage and recast Endless Obedience or cast another Endless Obedience from your hand, then get Angel of Glory's Rise, reanimating Laboratory Maniac and Azami, Lady of Scrolls, winning with your next draw of Azami, Lady of Scrolls.

So it seems complicated, and it is, but it goes off surprisingly well. Here's the list:

I'm really looking for some suggestions, as this is a pretty bizarre deck for modern. I want to see if anyone has any ideas surrounding possibly one of the jankiest modern builds... ever.

Also, if anyone has any ideas on what three cards to cut, that would be great too.
