I only actually play on cockatrice, because I cannot really afford to play vintage, and if I did I wouldn't have anywhere to play.
I know some people's skill on cockatrice is sketchy, it's better than nothing and there are a good number of good players on there. The vintage online is a very narrow group of people and I often play the same people multiple times a week.
Anyway, from what I've played MUD isn't actually all that popular. I mostly just see the Gush control and the Jace decks. However, there are splashes of a lot of different stuff around.
I was thinking of adding a red splash for SB Ancient Grudge. I've liked Grudge a lot in the format in other decks I've used, and it works well with Dryad.
I think I will cut the black like you said. Snapper seems great in this. Another beater is always welcome, too.
Steel Sabotage I think would be better than Recall, especially when Snapcaster is added.
I definitely think you want Yawgmoth's Will, and either Tendrils or Empty. You just get so many free wins when you combine these with the Gush-Bond engine.
Basically I look to either land an early Dryad and grow it, or land a late Tarmogoyf and beat down.
