Since your deck is a fast one, consider running lands that don't enter the battlefield tapped:

• Bloodfell Caves -> Sulfurous Springs
• Wind-Scarred Crag -> Battlefield Forge
• Scoured Barrens -> Caves of Koilos
• Evolving Wilds -> Smoldering Marsh
• Thriving Bluff -> Foreboding Ruins
• Thriving Heath -> Furycalm Snarl
• Thriving Moor -> Shineshadow Snarl
• Black Dragon Gate -> Dragonskull Summit
• Citadel Gate -> Clifftop Retreat
• Cliffgate -> Ash Barrens

You might also want to run some utility lands:

• Temple of Malice -> Bojuka Bog (good against graveyard decks)
• Temple of Triumph -> Axgard Armory (tutor on a land)
• Temple of Silence -> Sejiri Shelter  ^Flip (protection spell that can be played as a land)
• Temple of the False God -> Rogue's Passage (free evasion)
• Mountain -> Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion (double strike on demand)
• Swamp -> Buried Ruin (recursion)

Also, since speed is the name of the game for Voltron decks, consider those swaps in your ramp package:

• Fire Diamond -> Talisman of Conviction
• Marble Diamond -> Talisman of Hierarchy
• Charcoal Diamond -> Talisman of Indulgence

I have come to remind you that the Baldur's Gate set came out! Granted, some of these are slightly more expensive than a regular gate, but not by very much.

• Gond Gate is going to make your deck a lot faster. Like, a lot.

• Baldur's Gate. Need I say anything more? Won't help with your win condition, but it's still loads of mana.

• Citadel Gate, Sea Gate, Black Dragon Gate, , Cliffgate, and Manor Gate are just better than the standard gates.

• Basilisk Gate could protect a creature of yours if you're not ready for it to die yet, or if you want to swoop in for the kill. These three last ones are kinda meh, but they're here.

• Thran Portal is probably just not worth the 1 ping a turn. It's not crazy bad, but eh.

• Heap Gate is cool, but not super necessary.
