I assume you have Fist of Suns in there?
On flavor cards I'll chuck in Curse of the Cabal, Vona's Hunger.
Anyways, Soulfire Grand Master might be interesting.

I found maybe some sort of jank. Morophon, the Boundless, Archaeomancer, Omnispell Adept, Tradewind Rider, and Intruder Alarm.
Use Jodah and morophon to free cast Archaeomancer and omnispell. use omnispell to cheat cast Curse of the Cabal or Vona's Hunger. If you have something that makes your bois into mana dorks, you can use tradewind and intruder alarm to return archaeomancer to hand and something else then then recast them for free. when you play them, you can untap your board with the intruder alert and recast your spells again.
Sadly, you cant do recasts with Fraying Omnipotence as you lose your creatures. if there was a card similar to the mirror that can allow you to recast it, that would be chill but this combo seems like it has the right idea.

Looking back. For synergy focused on squirrels and such Bankrupt in Blood Chatter of the SquirrelsCurse of the CabalRavenous Gigantotherium are where I would look for cuts. Plenty of good options for replacements. Happy brewing.

zapyourtumor Some fantastic suggestions, especially Killing Wave. To go over the list.
Curse of the Cabal Feels to slow and with the prevalence of the cookbook deck, I see this as a blow out against me.
Temporal Extortion I had thought about it, but I was going budget. If I find some spare cash I could certainly see it in the deck.
Killing Wave fantastic and will likely become my go to unless I can get Choice of Damnations for cheap as that hits all permanents instead of just creatures.
Pain's Reward I had thought about it, but it feels like a potential blowout where the opponent could force me to bid too much for needed card draw.
Indulgent Tormentor 5 mana CMC and dies to bolt. That didn't feel right to me. If it was either a bit cheaper or had a higher toughness I would consider it.
Desecration Demon Maybe a possible include if the deck needs more creatures. Against a deck without creatures, or with very few creatures, it could be great. However those types of decks usually run either heavy removal, bounce, or something of the like. Also I kind of want the pressure to be on their life total more than the board state.
As for a legacy deck, my experience in legacy in minimal so I can't comment too much on the meta and whatnot, but it could be fun. Currently I am planning to test a different kind of jank there being Eight-and-a-Half-Tails with a enchantment called Earnest Fellowship to nullify most threats to my creatures and run Rune of Protection: White to protect myself. The deck will run Norn's Annex and Ghostly Prison to deal with creature decks.

You might want to consider making a legacy version, since it gives you a bunch of interesting options:
