Ok I'll add the first card. I want to choose something that will keep the direction of the deck wide open, so I'll choose 2 Prophetic Bolt. The rules for this activity are right here.
Adding 4 Veteran Explorer. This thing can provide a chump and let us make use of more basics so that we're playing fast enough without having to pay life for access to our dual colored lands. Ramping out two lands from a block seems powerful here. Removing two Sylvan Scrying, since we can get the acceleration effects through Explorer and Oracle.
I'm going to try my hand, though I will say one thing: the OP should state the colors in the opening post. when I saw "temur" I didn't know the color scheme.
i'm going add 2 Quicksilver Daggers- slap one on a Lorescale and just watch it grow. slap one on the Oracle so it's no longer a useless 2-drop after the fact. just two because we don't want to overload our creatures.

i'm going to add 2 Spreading Seas, it messed with the enemy mana base, gives us an island on their side for our island walk, and the best part is, it replaces itself! That draw will trigger lorescale, sweeeeet.
And...adding our snake lord. Between Vet, Sakura and Oracle, we should have enough ramp to get him out. It looks like our game plan is to gum up the ground with rampers early on, disrupt with Mystic, and then get further value from Mystic Snake with Seshiro's abilities. So, we're hoping to use Intet to easy-cast Prophetic Bolt?

Vet is the best ramp we've got for this deck, especially if we want to take advantage of Mystic Snake early on. I would say Ohran Viper is the best of the three that you mention.
i think that because we have lorescale and draw is so important, i'm going to add 3 Distant Melody. hopefully this draw is powerful enough in this deck.
In regards to Roar of the Crowd, wouldn't Mob Justice or Massive Raid be just as effective? we haven't any "Tribal-Snake" stuff, so I'm adding two Massive Raid to get some extra damage output in here, as our snakes without their lord aren't much of a threat.

Okay, we're close to beginning the cutting phase- so i'm going to begin some preliminary cutting.
Voting out one of each of these 3-ofs:
Lorescale Coatl- this guy is a solid creature, but is more of a build-around, and we don't have a lot of draw power to gradually build him up- and we haven't anyway to protect our snakes.
Seshiro- as a legendary, we don't want to clog our hand with one already on the field.
Distant Melody- definitely a late game card when we hope to swing with the Coatl.
I'm half-tempted to vote in one more of of Mystic Snake and River Boa, but holding back on that.

I don't want us to go into the cutting phase yet.
Voting to remove all non-snake creatures cuz I think the deck is better off without them.
Voting to keep Sylvan Scrying and Guided Passage. We are gonna need the ramp if we remove the Veteran Explorer and Guided Passage is just plain cool.

So, without furthur ado, here's my first guild choice: Temur.

Corrected your decklist, since you can't just remove a card. It needs to get enough votes.

since we're running what looks like a snake engine, voting out Veteran Explorer.
any thoughts on running Ophidian, Orhan Viper, or some less nefarious Snakes like Voracious Cobra...

Also, in regards to the Lotus Cobra, i was thinking that maybe the ultimate landfall inhibitor would play nicely with both the Cobra and the Coatl...
[b]Brass Herald[/c] for a tutoring snake lord, anyone? and what are were going to do about the mana base?
