From looking at this list, I'd say what it needs is less card selection and more actual advantage. Lorien Revealed, Plea for Power, and Distant Melody (naming drakes) could all find a spot in here. Also really surprised to see Snap is not in the deck. It's a free drake.
Cards that reduce the cost of Instants and Sorceries would also suit this deck. Unfortunately the non-creature ones aren't very good. If you wanted to drop the Polymorph strategy, (which personally I would because it's going to make games very samey, not that I have anything against other people who decide to do it this way) Curious Homunculus Flip and Baral, Chief of Compliance would both be great in here. There's also Thunderclap Drake from the new commander set, and you probably already know about Archmage Emeritus.

Looks like a good start. Personally I would make these swaps:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance -> Reconnaissance Mission
Ral, Izzet Viceroy -> The Indomitable
Ancestor's Aid -> Irenicus's Vile Duplication
Mizzium Tank -> Valor in Akros
Goblin Electromancer -> Distant Melody

Need some Elves?

I like running Nettle Sentinel and Birchlore Rangers as they can generate a ton of mana together. Quirion Ranger lets you re-use Priest of Titania or if you add Timberwatch Elf. Also, its blue but there are some elves(Birchlore Rangers included) that generate blue mana so Distant Melody can draw like 10 cards relatively easily. It also gets even scarier with Lys Alana Huntmaster.

Looking good! I think you might enjoy having a little more card draw in the deck. Just to make sure that you are drawing all the cool elements and ramp you need to play. Mulldrifter is a great start.
Vanquisher's Banner, Omnath, Locus of the Roil, Risen Reef, Distant Melody, Soul of the Harvest

Starting with mana, you only have 44 sources. I would recommend going around 47. Sapphire Medallion and Jet Medallion are a lot better than the monuments, although more expensive. You want to avoid 3 mana rocks like Dimir Locket and Commander's Sphere, you have better options in two mana ones. Add Coldsteel Heart, Fellwar Stone, Dimir Signet, Talisman of Dominance and at least one land.
For interaction, you could add enchantment removal like Feed the Swarm. Bitter Triumph is new and may be better than Infernal Grasp here.
Since mill and discard can basically act as card draw, you can run cards like Mire Triton, Stitcher's Supplier, Undead Butler, Palantir of Orthanc, and Fact or Fiction, as well as sacrifice based card draw like Corrupted Conviction, Village Rites, and Deadly Dispute. There's also always all-stars Black Market Connections, Phyrexian Arena, and Rhystic Study if you want to go that direction.
Some card to protect your commander like Netherborn Altar, Malakir Rebirth Flip, Zombie Master or Lightning Greaves / Swiftfoot Boots may be helpful if you rely on Gisa and it keeps getting removed.
There are certain cards I am not a fan of in this deck including Master of Death, Prized Amalgam, Scourge of Nel Toth, Tomebound Lich, Dead Revels, and Syphon Flesh.
Some other cards to consider include Cryptbreaker, Geralf, Visionary Stitcher, Ghoulcaller Gisa, Lord of the Undead, Noxious Ghoul, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, The Scarab God, Distant Melody, Buried Alive, Diabolic Intent, Liliana, Dreadhorde General. You could probably replace similar cards with these if they are better.
Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm + Sac Outlet is infinite. I don't think you run many sac outlets. You could add Acererak the Archlich to go infinite with just Rooftop Storm.

I count only 2 draw option:
So I would add at least another 5 draw options. Maybe:
Also I count only 2 ramp spells. Maybe also 5 other ones:
Also I would include Mirror Entity: Nice synergy and a good win option.
With the high number of tappers I would also include Siren's Call
Also the number of Mass Removal is to low. Some options:

I would drop Distant Melody for Reconnaissance Mission or Bident of Thassa, since the sorcery is only good if you're already ahead. Vanquisher's Banner can also be cut for the other one.
I do see a big lack of mana rocks to help you ramp, which are super important in Esper: Talisman of Dominance, Talisman of Hierarchy, Azorius Signet, etc. I'd make sure you have all 6 of the Talisman/Signets in here, in addition to the rocks you already have.
