I would cut Font of Mythos, Howling Mine, Master of the Feast and Temple Bell - not one of those cards does enough to win you the game. Forced Fruition is a trap also - it usually reads "let them combo off by giving them every card they need to win on a single turn, without being able to do enough damage to stop them."
Nekusar works best when he is hyper explosive, tossing mass damage on the field through wheels. Instead of wasting your time with these small, incremental damage, you really should be looking to add Dark Deal, Windfall, Winds of Change
. Whispering Madness, etc. Teferi's Puzzle Box is another high impact card that should be a must-include. Phyresis, Glistening Oil, and other ways to confer Infect will drastically will increase your odds of winning. Cards like Curiosity add huge card advantage. And auras like Helm of the Ghastlord and Sigil of Sleep can use Nekusar to help lock out opponents.
Cut the lifegain cards like Ivory Tower and Elixir of Immortality, as well as combat-focused cards like Akroma's Memorial. None of those do anything for your actual gameplan.
You also could stand to get your average mana cost down. Seizan, Perverter of Truth, for example, is synergistic, but five mana is steep and the card slot would be better off as a wheel.

Thanks for posting, Predator_90. I’m going to add Sigil of Sleep to the maybeboard for now, as I’m not sure how useful it would actually be. On the surface it seems pretty epic, but 99% of our damage output is set up to be caused by Ninjutsu creatures. I wouldn’t be able to enchant them prior to them dealing damage, and the enchantment wouldn’t transfer from one of the two enablers (Triton Shorestalker or Slither Blade) either. I think it would work best in a pure Unblockable attackers deck rather than here, but as I said I’ll maybeboard it for now in case I’m missing something or a new card makes it viable. I do appreciate the input though!

Even though he's got horsemanship (basically unblockable) you've already got Hermetic Study and Psionic Gift to give your commander a ping to fire off his ability. But I like to run things in 3's if I can. So you might try Viridian Longbow or Wolfhunter's Quiver (if.. for some reason your meta runs a lot of werewolves? lol).
Also Neko-Te or Sigil of Sleep might be an interesting include since you could get double value with control for your pings since you'll want to be doing that anyways but tapping down or returning a creature might be of more benefit in the moment than drawing a card.
Ophidian Eye might also be interesting to play with to see if you could get even more draw although I see you've already got Curiosity which is strictly better.

I use Stormfist Crusader over the pirate cheap on mana yes they get a card but I always fine it better when it is on my turn as much as possible it is cheaper cmc wise don't have to attack and turns on Kederekt Parasite
Look at Faerie Mastermind to give yourself extra cards for low cmc and it dropped in price
I find Anvil of Bogardan works better since they still have to discard and I get them coming and going on damage
of course the Orcish Bowmasters is good
also if you want some fun Sigil of Sleep
I am debating on how evil I want to be I just acquired a Chains of Mephistopheles who need friends when you can set up chains + Teferi's Puzzle Box nightmare and laugh to no friends

Elder Brain: slow, but could be funny
Sword of War and Peace: could help punish the card draw
you may want to up the number of counterspells to deal with the fact you're helping your opponents dig, combo decks will ruin your day.
Drops
No Mercy or Dissipation Field: probably the board wipes will be enough with only one of these.
I might trade out some of the 3 drop rocks for signets or talismans
It may not be a bad idea to have some other cheap combo line to pull off when playing against combo decks as well since you're digging so much with the draw (Consecrated Sphinx could help here too)
the big worry is needing to speed the deck up which involves somewhat expensive mana rocks:

I like some of the cards you have in yours. Mine is Drawing Cards Friendly Like
I know you weren't looking to go as creature focused, but I did hit up some nasty creatures in mine to help body block or draw hate to save me from having to recast my commander as much (another good reason for campfire).
You have way more ramp than me, so maybe cost concerns arent as much of an issue, but there are some cheap and mean combos I've got. Helm of the Ghastlord to ensure they never have a hand. Sigil of Sleep to ensure they never have creatures. Sangromancer I mean, this can net you like 3x7x3 life in one go if you play your cards right.
Personally I found that a number of cards were a bit slow, or less useful and ended up removing them, but like I said you have more ramp, so maybe yours can take it better. Triskaidekaphile when you're cycling hands is unlikely to happen without some combo. Magus of the Jar Just for some reason felt way to slow for it's cost for me, and doesn't even get the discard benefit.

That's why I asked with Curiosity.
If you want more shenanagins ... Meishin, the Mind Cage neuters a lot of decks but your commander can still ping for one point at a time. Neko-Te is nicer than giving your boss Deathtouch but not by much. Same with Sigil of Sleep.
Mystic Speculation is a cheap spell you can cast over and over.
