Inquisition of Kozilek
Sorcery
Target player reveals their hand. You choose a nonland card from it with mana value 3 or less. That player discards that card.

Maybe Inquisition of Kozilek over Duress in Modern, but otherwise looks nice.

Very thematic, +1. How about Inquisition of Kozilek in place of Duress?

Personally, I would remove the following:
-
Vampire Hexmage, as it only works well with Thing in the Ice Flip - and is otherwise a dead card. If you really want the effect, you could consider Heartless Act, which works as removal or can trigger Thing in the Ice Flip at instant-speed.
-
Murder, at 3 mana is a high price to pay to remove a creature, and there is more efficient removal out there. Consider cards like Fatal Push, Dismember, or Infernal Grasp
-
Dash Hopes, giving your opponent the choice to keep their spell is not ideal for a control deck like this one.
I would put 2 or 3 Murktide Regents in the mainboard, as the card is a powerful wincon.
Psychic Frog should probably come out of the maybeboard, as it works well with Murktide and is a powerful card draw engine and wincon in its own right.
You might also consider cards like Duress, Thoughtseize, or Inquisition of Kozilek to rip apart your opponents' hands.
While you may not want to net-deck, you may want to check out what are popular decks so you can tune your sideboard to match (or just go to your LGS and see what they play there).

What's the intent of Wall of Vines and Corpse Blockade? I know that having a direct win condition isn't the main priority of this deck, but I strongly recommend putting one in anyway. If you're trying to be the last one standing in free-for-all matches, you can't always rely on your opponents to 100% cooperate. The defenders are less proactive than other cards here.
Next thought is that the Liquimetal Coating + Splinter is cute, but the Coatings have nothing to do without the Splinters. This can be switched out for some other control options, or if you want to keep the style points, use Glissa Sunseeker. There's probably enough deck removal as-is.
I'm a big fan of discard, so I'm going to suggest the 1-mana options there. Anything from Duress to Inquisition of Kozilek to Thoughtseize will be a good turn 1 option. Right now, your 1-drops are all either reactive or passive, and this deck wants to start shredding fast, not wait for the opponent to build up resources.
Normally, I'd suggest Abrupt Decay here for general-use removal, but it sounds like your group leans toward the higher end of the mana curve. Assassin's Trophy is a similar option, if you can deal with helping your opponent ramp.
I'm a little more cautious about this next suggestion, since it's going to be very gimmicky, but a copy of Chancellor of the Spires can kickstart your Surgical Extractions and Extirpates.

KongMing The decks back then were using a loop of Pyrite Spellbomb to continually ping the opponent. It's become less useful as of right now, since a lot of Activated Ability hate is out there. I've been questioning if that's the route I'd like to go again, but finding room is hard. Cutting coloured lands makes the Ancient Stirrings and Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek a little harder to cast.

DemonDragonJ just as food-for-thought and/or inspiration, if I were making low-budget Deathbringer Liege deck, it’d look something like this:
- 4x Deathbringer Liege
- 4x Tidehollow Sculler
- 4x High Priest of Penance
- 4x Souls of the Faultless
- 3x Beckon Apparition
- 4x Inquisition of Kozilek
- 4x Fatal Push
- 4x Vanishing Verse
- 4x Vindicate
- 3x Kaya's Guile
- 22x Lands
You’d probably want 2-3 lands being either Shambling Vent or Restless Fortress as I imagine these games going very grindily and more threats being needed
