Awesome, love seeing all spells in edh and this looks like a strong list. I too brewed an all spells minstrel deck but mine is very different, it focuses on using the higher cmcs to enable a Timesifter lock alongside some other strats. This looks a lot more competitive and low to the ground. Have you considered Goblin Charbelcher as an alt wincon to get around RIP and RoL sorts of effects? Also rec Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip and Valakut Awakening  ^Flip as these are some of the most useful spell effects on any mdfc imo and good colors for you. If you want to check out my version you can find it here!

It always nice to see another Melek player in the wild. Here are some cards that have worked for me.

Mystical TutorGC and Personal Tutor are both insane in melek.

Also instants and sorceries that can be played as lands like Sink into Stupor  ^Flip and Valakut Awakening  ^Flip can be used place of normal land and makes melek's ability a little more consistent.

Library of Leng is another really good included if you got enough discard cards like Shreds of Sanity, Frantic Search, and Recall

Ritual are always good Seething Song is my favourite

In removal I've found Nevinyrral's Disk is the only way to get rid of enchantments. Submerge is free in 90% of games. Also cards like Pillage and Boomerang are good when cloned and can hurt your opponents mana base.

Anyways I hope that these suggestions are helpful :)

I put in the Valakut Awakening  ^Flip for Browbeat but Thrill of Possibility is themed so it stays.

I think you have a lot of the core pieces that a Lands Matter commander like Szarel would want, but I think you're running too few lands for the strategy. It's ultimately a personal taste thing, but I wouldn't recommend running under 35 lands unless your mana curve is closer to the average 2.5 cmc range.

I think you could probably swap a couple of mana dorks for a few more lands. You could also swap Hugs and Verduous Gearhulk out for some MDFC cards like Valakut Awakening  ^Flip & Malakir Rebirth  ^Flip to have some flex slots that can lands or spells.

I've been working on Szarel too, and I think getting those MDFC lands helps balance out the competition for spell slots vs lands.

Hey SufferFromEDHD, thanks for the input.

Heartwarming Redemption is a good card but I think I would go for Valakut Awakening  ^Flip if I wanted that effect. Same thing except for the life gain and graveyard synergy, but in exchange it’s one mana cheaper, a land when I need it, and lets me hang onto things I don’t want to pitch. The reasons I’m not running it are really that it’s not card advantage unless I have my commander out to take advantage of the cards I pitch and I’m hesitant about a more etb tapped lands, but it’s great card selection and if my commander is out I can use the artifacts I pitch so I’ve gone back and forth about including it.

Thrilling Discovery is also a good card, but I think I would rather run more Conjurer's Bauble or Chromatic Star effects over it. They are effectively 2 mana draw three with an upside when my commander is out and have more overall synergy with the deck.

As for Mox Tantalite I did run it for a little while, but I ended up cutting it. Once it was in the grabeyard it’s a great target for my commander, but I really never wanted to be suspending it and waiting three turns so it was too slow unless I could pitch it directly to the graveyard and this deck doesn’t have enough self mill/discard to do that super reliably.

I appreciate the ideas though and will consider them more when I’m tinkering with the deck.

Crow_Umbra a new legendary for Celes got spoiled today that you absolutely need to see. If you haven't, it's a discard your hand on entry for {4} mana in Mardu colors. 4/4 I think, and you draw a whole new hand Valakut Awakening  ^Flip style. Then, whenever you cast from grave you put a counter on each creature you control or something like that. It's nuts!

(I mispoke in that you don't actually put them on bottom of library the way the awakening says, but you do get to draw your hand back plus one. Which was what I was thinking.)
