Halo Fountain: Heh, by proxy? Anyway, two mana to draw one card per turn isn't super efficient, but beggars can't be choosers, and the versatility of being able to make a token or even win the game makes it a pretty good package. If you can get trough the color weight of the activated abilities, I can see this being interesting in boros with red's cheap "temporary tokens", e.g. Elemental Mastery
Urabrask: Prosper is trying hard not to laugh. 5 mana is a bit steep too
Ob: Finally rakdos eh? Though self-copying seems a bit weird. Without the Demon tribal part, it could have easily been a Tibalt card.
Cut of the Profits: Yeah this art is pretty sick. I have a soft spot for black cards flavored around gold
Vivien: Feels like kind of a black card with all the stuff that's going into your graveyard but okay
Rumor Gatherer: So why isn't this a Druid? Is the flavor that she's shrunk the big pets?? So weird
An Offer You Can't Refuse: New EDH staple. Two treasures is worth it to stop that key hose/bomb.
Incriminiate: Make Cannibalize Standard-legal you cowards!
Courier's Briefcase: Hm, wonder if there'll be a cycle of rainbow mana cards? Although I can see the reasoning of mono-green being able to produce other colors on its own. Get four of these and you can use the Treasure mana from three of them to generate 60% of the colors needed to draw three from the remaining one, yay...
Kitt Kanto: How is a "Mayhem Diva" at all white? Anyway, IDK if I can make room for this in my Marisi deck, pretty expensive and kind of in tension since untapped creatures could have probably just attacked instead
Anhelo: He's clever enough to not have enough power to be casualty-fuel himself
Kamiz: Yeah I have a hard time getting a sense of direction for this. Voltron with a bit more medium-big creatures?
Perrie: Permanents, not creatures. Dig trough your collection for weirdos like Coral Reef and Serrated Arrows
Ziatora: Sorry, Gleeock

Thanks for the suggestions Tr_iHard! Nice to see someone approaching this commander from a similar angle. Cannibalize is just awesome, I'll have a look at how I can fit it in here.
As far as Rime Transfusion and Skeletal Grimace go, they were both in the early drafts of this deck but eventually I realized that they don't quite work the way I wanted them to. They both grant an activated ability to the creature itself, meaning the creature's controller would get to choose whether to activate, not me. Disappointing as it is, sticking with cards like Blessing of Leeches, Strands of Undeath, etc. where the ability is attached to the aura itself (leaving me as the one who decides to activate it) will have to do.

Great deck, +1 from me. I'm running a fairly similar take on Xantcha but focus more on combat tricks instead of enchantments. Some cards you might like are Cannibalize, Undying Evil, Heartless Act, Blood Frenzy, Tainted Strike and False Orders. Delirium and Backlash are pretty funny, too.
Rime Transfusion would work well since you're using snow-permanents anyway and Skeletal Grimace offers repeatable regeneration.

some recommendations - Soul's Might + Hunter's Prowess - Cannibalize + Ancient Animus

I used to run a very similar deck, but in my experience Maralen is just too fragile. Expunge , Murder , Reckless Spite , Price of Fame , Murderous Cut , Ashes to Ashes , Ob Nixilis's Cruelty , Force of Despair , Never/Return , Sever the Bloodline , Silence the Believers , Cannibalize seem to me to be vastly preferable to Dash Hopes , Eyeblight's Ending , Rend Flesh , Kiku's Shadow , Withering Boon . Does Mindcrank even do anything here without Bloodchief Ascension ?

Have you considered something like Assault Formation instead of Doran, the Siege Tower ?
Deck is looking REAL scary with stuff like Rise of the Dark Realms and Triumph of the Hordes ... In general though maybe more ramp since you don't have many plays turns 1 & 2.

Now this I like. The average CMC is pretty lean, yet you still found room for some fun fatties. Ashes to Ashes & Cannibalize is interesting couple of removal spells that wasn't on my radar. Loving the inclusion of baby Nicy B too.
One card I think you need to at least address is Toxic Deluge, since it's such a staple. I'm guessing you see it being in competition with Blasphemous Act for the slot of a cheap board wipe, which is OK, esp. if your meta doesn't have a whole lot of indestructible/protection from red/damage prevention
