Swarm Surge
Sorcery
Devoid (This card has no color.)
Creatures you control get +2/+0 until end of turn. Colorless creatures you control also gain first strike until end of turn.

I'm pretty busy, but here is a link for Eldrazi that care about colorless creatures
There is also Gruesome Slaughter, Swarm Surge, Tomb of the Spirit Dragon and Hedron Blade.
Honestly, with the exception of MAYBE Tomb and probably more so Slaughter, there's not enough synergy to waste slots in any deck for any format.

To Remove:
Extricator of Sin  Flip - easily one of the least impactful cards you have and you have 9 to cut.
Abstruse Interference - a 3 mana Force Spike/Mana Tithe seems bad, even if the upside of getting a creature token is there.
Otherworldly Outburst - Like Extricator, a 3/2 is unlikely to make a very big difference.
Isochron Scepter - with 109 cards in deck right now, there are only 4 cards that could even meet the criteria to use this. Fall of the Titans won't work because this won't let you pay alternative costs.
Planar Gate - quite expensive, and while awesome, you would get more mileage out of something like Ugin, the Ineffable, since your Devoid spells are technically colorless. It would benefit your artifacts as well as your Eldrazi. His activated abilities are nothing to sneeze at either.
Rhystic Tutor - someone is going to pay the 2... if you could pick the opponent, different story. As is, it's unlikely to ever resolve. you would be better off with something like Vampiric Tutor if you were going for another tutor effect, but that one is rather pricey as well.
Shard Convergence - Have this be something like Cultivate or Kodama's Reach to make sure that you can cast your spells sooner.
From Beyond - very slow for what it does, not sure it's worth it in the long run.
Endless One - a big mana sink with no keywords or activated abilities is underwhelming.
Desolation Twin - the 10/10 token is only on cast, so if there are any effects that would reanimate it, put it into play, etc that happen to go off, it's just a vanilla 10/10. For 10cmc, you would be better off running either version of Kozilek or Ulamog.
Emrakul's Evangel - I didn't realize that the condition to get the 3/2's required "non-eldrazi" to be sacrificed. It's a non-bo with the deck.
Cards to consider:
Void Attendant - Mana sink to potentially get more scion tokens.
World Breaker - a recurrable threat that exiles permanents.
Essence Depleter - Mana sink to lifegain/drain someone.
Grip of Desolation - 2 for 1 removal spell.
Ruination Guide - Colorless, front-end creature pump.
Sire of Stagnation - Jerk card for jerks. Slows opponents down or exiles their fuel. slows them down either way to give you more time to amass your army.
Spell Shrivel - This is a counterspell that's better than the one you have in the list currently (Abstruse Interference).
Call the Scions - Similar to Awakening Zone and From Beyond it gives you 2x 1/1's for 3cmc all at once.
Cards to Add:
Herald of Kozilek - cost reduction for your deck.
Swarm Surge - Colorless creature pump and First Strike.
Smothering Abomination - Card draw for sac'ing a token on upkeep.
Brood Butcher - turns your tokens into removal for BG to -2/-2 something.
Deepfathom Skulker - lets you draw for each attacking creature you control that connects with a player.

Swarm Surge should be a no unless the rules have changed. I am aware of the devoid mechanic's existence. It has no color, but its color identity is black.
903.4. The Commander variant uses color identity to determine what cards can be in a deck with a certain commander. The color identity of a card is the color or colors of any mana symbols in that card’s mana cost or rules text, plus any colors defined by its characteristic-defining abilities (see rule 604.3) or color indicator (see rule 204).
Given this rule, it shouldn't be legal.

I can't belive i'm atually seen a pauper Saproling deck without Sprout Swarm.
I don't really understand why the Velis Veil theme when your cards really don't benefit from the tribal side unless you actually want to sacrifice your engines after pumping them, which feels very bad, honestly.
This deck really wants to go Abzan, you will find better non-tribal spells to finish off your opponent and have an easier manabase. Harsh Sustenance, Foul-Tongue Shriek, Charge, Swarm Surge (kinda flavorful) and Borrowed Grace are great go wide spells in those colors.
Vitaspore Thallid is also pauper legal so it could be an option. Thallid Shell-Dweller could be used in sideboard hold agressive decks.

Nice. If you're upgrading maybe consider a black or blue splash for Swarm Surge or Shared Discovery, respectively?
