Thanks for the input Squee_Spirit_Guide!! I like all of that. A key piece of the deck, right now, is Aether Mutation beyond being soft removal it can help pad my board state while durdling around digging for Penumbra Wurm by bouncing Jungle Barrier or one of the Penumbra creatures to generate Saprolings. I like the idea of having faster defenses though with Wall of Blossoms coming in at 2 MV.
I'd have to try Wall of Roots over Urborg Elf and see which one I like better.
The deck doesn't struggle too much with mana sources as it currently sits. But Greater Good and Lifeline really intrigue me.
Altar of Dementia seems like a different deck altogether. But combos nicely with Lifeline. One Penumbra Wurm would be 24 cards milled...
You've definitely given me food for thought. Thanks so much again.

Very cool deck! What do you think about Wall of Blossoms or Wall of Roots instead of Jungle Barrier?
This might be a stretch, but I immediately thought of Lifeline to keep bringing back your Penumbra creatures. I like the idea of sacrificing them for some benefit and then getting the token, and they come back to repeat the process. Altar of Dementia, Ashnod's Altar, and Greater Good could be fun. Maybe that would be a different deck entirely though...

Phule451 You just absolutely blew my mind. These suggestions are amazingly helpful and I really appreciate it. You are right about Dive Down and Drift of Phantasms . I really like Wall of Junk and have considered it before but never realized how great that would be with arcades and his triggers. I will replace Divination with Winged Words . Jungle Barrier is in the deck but I appreciate the suggestion. Fell the Mighty is a good idea because... wells it's commander. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive is really good and I will probably replace Huatli, the Sun's Heart for it. Marble Titan is super good and will definitely go in. Enter the Infinite is there for the mass card draw and the combo with Laboratory Maniac but they are on the cutting board. Arcanis the Omnipotent is heavy on blue, but give me such great card draw that it is worth it. Arbor Elf is to untap the lands that give me extra manna like lands enchanted by Fertile Ground or lands that fix colours like ones enchanted my Abundant Growth . Things like Triumph of the Hordes and Command Tower were considered but were pretty expensive (he says with a Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur in his deck). Other Cards I'm considering are Mentor of the Meek , Wall of Runes and Dusk / Dawn . Thanks for helping me.

Well, I really don't see the purpose of Dive Down as since you don't seem to have ways to recur it. And Drift of Phantasms just seems too situational. I'd also replace Divination with Winged Words as it's a mana cheaper with any flyer out. As for the lands I'd say at least add a Command Tower for fixing.
Since you're focused on the card draw side of it i'm surprised not to see Jungle Barrier in there as well. Also Wall of Junk will allow you multip[le Arcades triggers. Another thing to think about is Marble Titan is just a beast in this kinda deck. Another non-wall friend of walls is Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive . Also think about Fell the Mighty as a great board wipe. you could use one or two more.
I don't really understand Enter the Infinite in this deck, just seems kinda outta what the decks doing. Arbor Elf is another great card in other decks, but don't really see the value here. Huatli, the Sun's Heart seems great in theory, but in practice falls flat. I'd keep Rolling Stones as it's always great to have redundancies. Arcanis the Omnipotent is kinda scary being three blue in a three color deck, I think you're gonna want that blue mana somewhere else.
Hope that is of any help to you, good luck with the deck and enjoy!
