Managorger Hydra
Creature — Hydra
Trample (This creature can deal excess combat damage to defending player or planeswalker while attacking if that damage would be enough to kill the creatures blocking this one.)
Whenever a player casts a spell, put a +1/+1 counter on this.

Cool Budget deck!
Some ideas:
Brawn maybe??
Garruk's Uprising or Colossal Majesty
Blasphemous Act + Wrap in Vigor is fun
Happy brewing!!

From the iteration I'm looking at, I don't think you need more ramp - you actually have a decent amount of it. It's more likely that the deck feels like it needs more ramp because the average CMC is pretty high.
You may benefit from "focusing" the deck. Pick the theme you want, evaluate the cards you have, and ask for each one "does this help me achieve my goal"? It might be harder to evaluate generic cards that every deck needs like removal, ramp, or card draw this way, but it's a good starting point. While doing this also ask yourself, "can I get this effect at a lower CMC?"
For example:
Lets take a look at Phyrexian Triniform
The goal of the deck is to cast as many Cascade spells as possible, then beat your opponents down with big creatures. Phyrexian Triniform is a big creature, but it also has a very high CMC - the CMC is so high that your only ways to cast it are hard-casting for 9 mana, or hitting it with an Apex Devastator cascade trigger. You aren't focusing on death triggers/sacrifice so its death trigger, while nice, isn't very synergistic. You aren't focusing on self-mill or ways to reliably get it into your graveyard, so you can't abuse its Encore ability early.
Now imagine if you replaced that card with something like Managorger Hydra. It's only 3 CMC, so it's much easier to cast (either on its own or from a cascade trigger). Even better, is it grows with each spell anyone casts. Cascade is about casting multiple spells using one card, so if Managorger is out and you hit a big score of 3 or 4 spells in a turn, it gets big fast. Not to mention that it already has trample and any/all spells that your opponents will cast will pump it more.

OUT: Evolutionary Escalation, Strionic Resonator, Taurean Mauler
IN: Halana and Alena, Partners, Arwen, Weaver of Hope, Lae'zel, Vlaakith's Champion
Mauler is a single, slow burn creature with no evasion (unlike the Managorger Hydra already in the list).
The Evolutionary Escalation was a big target and doesn't provide any protection (unlike the Agitator Ant or Orzhov Advokist already in the list).
And Strionic Resonator could be good, but has limited use in this version of the deck.
Each replacement should help keep my deck moving along better than what I took out.

If you're looking to lean a bit more into +1/+1 counters, I think Managorger Hydra and Ravenous Slime could both be decent candidates. They balloon into threats on their own without much needed additional investment on your part from support cards, and both have built in evasion.
Champion of Lambholt could help open up evasion for your board to get those combat triggers, and Herald of Secret Streams could also help in this regard.

A bit surprised you don't have Luminous Broodmoth in here, since 13th Doc cares about any counters on your creatures. Also surprised The Ozolith isn't in here.
-
Basri's Solidarity & Pledge of Unity are quick and easy ways to get your board countered up.
-
Managorger Hydra and/or Ravenous Slime could be self-growing threats that could then untap as beefy blockers.
-
Kodama of the West Tree could pull double duty as a source of ramp and keyword anthem
-
Since you are mostly +1/+1 counter focused, Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar and Sovereign Okinec Ahau could fit under the counters and Historic theme.
-
Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider seems like a top end threat/hate piece, but not sure how necessary it would really be.
I brewed up a Sovereign Okinec deck a few months ago, and that was all stuff I had in consideration for that deck.
