Nice! Glad you like the deck! Loyal Guardian is basically my budget Kalonian Hydra. If you can afford it I'd recommend that one.

Some cards to consider:

  1. Overwhelming Stampede (honest damage)
  2. Hardened Scales + Vigor + Walking Ballista (infinite damage and each card is good on its own)

• Go wide:

  1. Mycoloth
  2. Ghave, Guru of Spores
  3. Animation Module
  4. Anointed Procession

• Pump creatures as you go wide:

  1. Conclave Mentor
  2. Winding Constrictor
  3. Juniper Order Ranger
  4. Loyal Guardian
  5. Mikaeus, the Lunarch
  6. Luminarch Aspirant

• Strenghten board:

  1. Tuskguard Captain
  2. Mer-Ek Nightblade
  3. Champion of Lambholt
  4. Hagra Constrictor
  5. Pridemalkin

Fracturing Gust looks to me like a building about to be destroyed. Its a shame everything with Extort is humanoid. I would have loved to see a Unicorn protection racket.

Purity has the look, Vigor is always amazing. Loyal Guardian = Fat Unicorn (but there is a HAND right there. I think the Rhox guys are too humanoid)

Entomb is a Karador piece that works really nicely. Hermit Druid can mill a lot of cards quickly and also has a low entry cost in your deck. Crop Sigil is a pet card of mine that can mill cards quickly and get stuff back if you need to, or a better piece would be Underrealm Lich . I also have a counters deck and Sweet-Gum Recluse and Loyal Guardian are great combo pieces in the deck. Winding Constrictor can double your counters, and Nikara, Lair Scavenger will draw cards when your Stonecoil-esque creatures leave the battlefield. I don't really like mutate creatures even with Karador; I would suggest using Acidic Slime , Ravenous Chupacabra , or Caustic Caterpillar effects in your deck over them. Free sac outlets are also sweet, so Viscera Seer will perform, and Woe Strider is an absurd card in long games. Speaking of long games, Duneblast will do wonders in Karador by blowing everything up but keeping Karador, and Kaya's Wrath will destroy all creatures to keep you safe and gain you 3 or 4 life. Phyrexian Tower and High Market are free sac outlets on your lands, so they can go in your deck at virtually no cost. City of Shadows can go nuts in the right deck, but it is an RL card at maybe $125 right now. I passed up a chance to buy one for 30 bucks once... Hope you found these suggestions helpful!

Loyal Guardian , Thunderfoot Baloth and Sight of the Scalelords . All three would make it easier to cast Ghalta and make him tougher

First of all, your curve is high so you need way more mana acceleration, especially early game.

I'd recommend replacing 2-5 cards with cheap ramp like Rampant Growth, Three Visits, Mind Stone, Cultivate, Kodama's Reach and maybe Skyclave Relic.

Here are some other suggestions:

Camaraderie instead of War Report

Forsaken Monument instead of Golem's Heart

Conjurer's Closet instead of Dragon Mask

Throne of Geth instead of Energy Chamber

Inspiring Call instead of Sporeback Troll

Cathars' Crusade instead of Chief of the Foundry

Trading Post instead of Daring Archaeologist

Loyal Guardian instead of Arcbound Overseer

Kuldotha Forgemaster instead of Arcbound Bruiser

Ancient Stone Idol instead of Pardic Wanderer

Return of the Wildspeaker instead of Compost

Ugin, the Ineffable instead of The Wanderer

Buried Ruin, Dread Statuary, Gavony Township, Tomb of the Spirit Dragon, Krosan Verge, Blighted Woodland, Canopy Vista, Scattered Groves, Castle Garenbrig, Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip instead of basic lands.

Nemesis Mask basically makes your biggest guys unblockable because all available must block the equipped creature.

Mossbridge Troll, Chameleon Colossus, Nessian Boar, Primeval Protector, Loyal Guardian

Things that give an extra combat would let you use your boss ability twice but I bet those are all over 3 bucks.
