I think Patron of the Orochi would probably be an excellent replacement in case people don't like to play with a Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger

Untapping Gilanra seems like a good way to generate lots of mana and draw more cards. Seeker of Skybreak, Instill Energy, Nature's Chosen, Curse of Bounty, and Patron of the Orochi are good options for this.

Knowledge Pool and Possibility Storm might interest you too. They allow you to get multiple Krark triggers and they turn his downside (getting the spell bounced to your hand) into a bonus.

Like it. Didn't see a Patron of the Orochi on the list that might be useful.

You might like these:

• Gemstone Array (stores up mana and prevents you from burning yourself)
• Seeker of Skybreak (untaps Yurlok)
• Magewright's Stone (untaps Yurlok)
• Thousand-Year Elixir (untaps Yurlok)
• Seedborn Muse (untaps Yurlok)
• Patron of the Orochi (untaps Yurlok)
• Curse of Bounty (untaps Yurlok)
• Awakening (untaps Yurlok)
• Wound Reflection (bigger burn)
• Mana Reflection (bigger burn and enables infinite combos)
• Umbral Mantle (turns Yurlock into "pay : burn each opponent for 3". also combos infinitely alongside Mana Reflection or Nyxbloom Ancient)
• Sword of the Paruns (same as Umbral Mantle)
• Jade Mage (decent ability, prevents you from burning yourself)
• Duskwatch Recruiter  ^Flip (decent ability, prevents you from burning yourself)

Personally I would cut these:

• Spectral Searchlight (doesn't get Yurlok out faster)
• Greenweaver Druid (doesn't get Yurlok out faster)
• Dictate of the Twin Gods (does not amplify Yurlok's effect)
• Blaze (not very impactful unless you are already in a strong position, in which case it is not needed)
• Flameblast Dragon (same as Blaze)
• Xantcha, Sleeper Agent (helps your opponents while hosing your strategy)
• Howling Mine (helps opponents)
• Koth of the Hammer (slow)
• Klothys, God of Destiny (slow)
• Thought Vessel (doesn't produce colored mana)

If you have Ashaya, Soul of the Wild on the field when you activate Beledros' ability, it will untap all of your creatures (that are now mana producers themselves of course) as well.

With Patron of the Orochi , you can gain similar effects, and potentially cheat some of the cost of Patron of the Orochi or sneak them in quick should you have a snake.

Alternatively, being able to tap and untap your lands multiple times per turn allows mono-black staples such as Bubbling Muck , Crypt Ghast , and Nirkana Revenant up your mana production further.

Another finisher you could include to take advantage of all your incredible mana production (and shore up your life total should you worry about that) is Exsanguinate .

Schauzeit on Yeva, more like Yee-haw

Phantomias, thanks for your suggestions :) Wilderness Reclamation also seems like a good include to me, but I'm not quite sure what to cut for it, as it's also a 4-mana investment, maybe Wood Elves . Patron of the Orochi seems powerful, but I'm not sure if it's worth 8 mana, but it might be worth a try if it's game ending enough :)
