Try this to speed up a little.
-3 Ulamog's Crusher \ +3 Sludge Crawler.
-6 Wastes \ +2 Sanctum of Ugin +4 Sunken Hollow.
I believe those cards are all from your chosen expansion, and should help colour fix your early game a little.

Potential Lands

Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp, not necessary given your 1 drops, lower amount of creatures. But its floor is slightly lower and ceiling is slightly higher than average, so I believe it is a worthy inclusion

Field of the Dead - Free zombies! Such a good inclusion, don't sleep on it. Imagine with boundless realms, scapeshift, etc....

Misty Rainforest/similar lands/ETB Tapped Fetchlands - Too much value with crucible to ignore. Not to mention it allows you to shuffle if you have a top deck utilization such as Oracle of Mul Daya, top, etc....

Sanctum of Ugin - Nice tutor effect, not necessary but I've found it extremely helpful. Given in Azusa we run out of cards quickly, this allows you to tutor for either Kozilek to refill your hand.

Yavimaya Hollow - Protection, not needed but nice to have. Also, politics.

Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Not needed but allows you to tap maze for green mana, ancient tomb, etc...

Potential Creatures

Fierce Empath - Tutor for ulamog or kozilek for draw or removal. Or just any higher CMC creature you need really. Not necessary but I've always enjoyed him

Lotus Cobra - Ramp! Much better with fetches. Speaking of fetches....

Ramunap Excavator - Redundancy for crucible of worlds. More easily recurabble as well.

Regal Force - Tooth and nail into avenger + regal.

Scute Swarm - MASSIVE token generation, even better with regal

Tireless Tracker - Draw, slow, better with Lotus cobra. Not necessary, but if you find yourself running out of gas consistently, this might be worth considering.

Other Potential Sorceries

All Is Dust - Wipe (over Spine of Ish Shah for Sure) that synergizes with Sanctum of Ugin. I've done this more times than I can count

Finale of Devastation - Like an additional G-Sun Zenith but with a higher ceiling. Also, a wincon

Rishkar's Expertise - While not optimal for your build per say, it has a high ceiling. Thought it was worth mentioning.

Scapeshift - Tutor, landfall trigger, trigger field of the dead. Synergy with land recursion such as crucible or ramunap. Should you ever wish to consider a token landfall package given your lack of creatures, this would supplement that. Not needed but nice to have

Given the amount of suggestions, you can either tell me what you like/want to include and I can provide suggestions for cuts based on that, or I can just go through your list right now and provide you my thoughts. Lmk what you think!

ultima333 +1 , double digits now! - Disagree with your decision to remove mirrorpool. Highly versatile tool that warrants it coming in tapped. It all depends on what you're going for though. I just like have 2x avengers, regal forces, genesis waves, e-wits, etc...

No Eldrazi Temple? I see you have some eldrazi, it couldn't hurt given you are already running eye of ugin.

Rude Awakening - Cradle + Temple + Temple Copy + Temple Copy or just with a bunch of tokens on board. While it does make cradle vulnerable, you will have created enough mana to have won by that point.

How does, if at all, staff of domination go infinite in this deck? Perhaps I'm missing it or its in here for value or you dont want combos. If you added rude awakening, then you would be able to go infinite by untaping cradle, the now creature for more mana than it costs to untap staff. Not to mention, its a last minute resort beatdown with so many lands. It acts as a ritual, albeit late game. Sorry I'm so hung up on it, I suppose it's my pet card. Anyways....

Sanctum of Ugin - To search for either kozilek for draw or ulamog for removal. I like to have green yavimaya + eldrazi temple + sanctum + eye of ugin (reduces by 2, taps itself b/c of yavimaya for 1) and cast all of dust, then searching for kozileks for refueling.

Castle Garenbrig - Cut a forest, ramp.

I would swap half your forest with snow covered to more easily trigger field of the dead.

Silklash Spider - Is this a meta call, patching up a potential weakness? Or is this just one of the threats you mentioned? Other potential swaps or cards in general to consider are...

Nissa, Vital Force - +1 --> Untap cradle, your thespians stage/vesuva that copied an opposing cabal coffers, etc..., -3 --> Recursion rarely hurts, given that 72% of your deck is permanent based. -6 --> You only need to wait 1 turn cycle before you get an ultimate that says you are the archenemy

Sol Ring, Worn Powerstone, Sisay's Ring, Thran Dynamo Mind Stone, Hedron Archive, Dreamstone Hedron Hedron Crawler, Manakin, Palladium Myr Solemn Simulacrum, Burnished Hart, Wayfarer's Bauble Eye of Ugin, Eldrazi Temple, Sanctum of Ugin

I would cut Hydroid Krasis and Courser of Kruphix and get some Brazen Borrower s and possibly more Bonecrusher Giant in there. You could also cut Chandra and Teferi.

Fierce Empath and Foul Emissary are nice creatures to emerge with.

I would also run more Sanctum of Ugin so you can chain Deep Fiends together and keep tapping stuff.

Sanctum of Ugin - Tutor

Eternal Witness > Nature's spiral

Field of the Dead - Who doesn't love zombies flooding the field just by playing lands?

Fabled Passage > Evolving Wilds

Prismatic Vista > Terramorphic expanse

Yavimaya Hollow - Protection

Zendikar Resurgent > Foresaken Monument - Costs 2 more but works for all your lands. Provides inherent card draw which the deck needs.

Hedron Archive > Dreamstone hedron, you want ramp that comes down earlier than T6. I understand you are playing Azusa so it can be faster, but it's a very expensive mana rock.

Nylea's Intervention - Find tron or whatever utility land you need

Cavern of Souls - Meta dependent

I would cut some of the less impactful cards and add in some more card draw and you should be good to go.
