To help with getting the right mana on the field, and to help you speed it up a bit, try adding some {rampant growth}s and may also need to look at evolving wilds if you get stuck.
Running 4 colours can be a hard process unless you can get the colours you need for what you have in your hand and what you draw.

{artful dodge}, {spirit mantle}, and {noxious revival} would be out if it were me.  I would put in more counters and 4 {ambush viper}.  That viper is awesome with mimic vat.  The viper and mana leak in hand makes it an easier decision to lay in wait since you can counter a big bomb or play the viper to kill a big monster.  You have a nice mid-range / control deck here that can drop some big mid-game and late bombs with some early control to buy you time.
