Boundless Realms often got stuck in hand for entire games and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove provides everything the deck needs. It is also more easily tutored and comes out far earlier.
I think with the different lands you have in here, that Field of the Dead would be a great addition I run it in my Yarok, the Desecrated land deck and it’s so good! And a devastating combination is Manabond + Sunder .
How well does the deck draw cards? Do you ever have like really dead hands?

I've also been running an Omnath deck that chucks lava at people. One card I don't see here for going all in on the Valakut train is Realmwright . It acts as a second Prismatic Omen or can serve as color fixing in a pinch. Great deck!

king-saproling: I have been considering Fertilid since Omnath became the general. I'm just stuck on what to cut for it.
theseax: I think your assessment of Field of the Dead is correct. When I first read the card I though about putting it in the deck but at some point I changed my mind and can't remember why. It looks like it will be powerful and I'll be adding it in.
Manabond + Sunder were actually in a very early version of the deck. After playing the deck I found the cards to not have a big enough impact individually and removed them. Since then many new support card have been released so they may be worth reconsidering.
Back when Riku of Two Reflections was the general card draw was sub-optimal and relied heavily on Consecrated Sphinx . That was before Omnath, Locus of the Roil and Tatyova, Benthic Druid , now card draw is so readily available I was able to cut Consecrated. The improved card draw is an additional reason I am reconsidering Manabond.
I do occasionally suffer dead hands, but I attribute it mainly to land clumping/poor shuffling. Even a bad hand usually works itself out once Omnath enter the battlefield.
esoteric117: Realmwright is indeed perfect, I don't know how I have never seen it before. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, definitely putting it into the deck.
Now for the hard part. Finding new cards to consider is easy, but finding targets to cut is incredibly rough.
Thank you for the comments
