How is All Is Dust for you? I was considering adding one to my Arcum deck for those games I get hated on and fall behind.
Your list is pretty similar to mine. Notable cards missing from your list are Tolarian Academy, Mycosynth Lattice, and Power Artifact (though Power Artifact is really only useful for infinite combos). Lattice + Forge + Disk is a non-infinite win. Lattice is really nice with Tezzeret's ultimate as well.
I run Future Sight and really like it. I also have Arcanis the Omnipotent and Mind Over Matter. MoM + Arcanis = draw your deck. MoM + Gilded Lotus = every card in your hand is a black lotus. MoM + Arcanis + Gilded Lotus = draw your deck and add lots of mana. Reliquary Tower helps with Arcanis.
Consider Hall of the Bandit Lord. It's another way to get Arcum on the table and give him an immediate activation. Tutoring up Lightning Greaves and giving him shroud is one of my favorite turn 4 plays when I have the Hall. I also run Thousand-Year Elixir for the same reasons, as well as untapping Arcum or Arcanis for another go.
Try Ward of Bones if people get sick of the same Winter Orb lock or Disk/Forge lock all the time.

Shackles out for Propaganda is probably an upgrade. You're only running 18 islands. I recently took out Extraplanar Lens because of my low island count. (Which is too bad because I run the Candelabra and it's really good with Lens.)
By the way, Tinker is banned. That's an easy drop for Future Sight.
Consider dropping Guardian Idol, and one or both of Ponder or Brainstorm. I used to run both and found them both underwhelming. EDH is a slow enough format, and with 100 card decks, the benefit they provide is negligible.
Guardian Idol should become Memnarch or Junk Diver. The Diver is unassuming but I love seeing him every time. Him and Myr Retriever on the board endlessly chump or get eaten by Arcum and recur each other. Plus Diver chumps fliers.
Memnarch is just solid. With the mana Arcum decks generate an unanswered Memnarch ends the game quickly.
For Ponder and Brainstorm, consider some of these. I love Ancestral Visions. Next to Sol Ring I don't think there's a better turn one play. It's kinda dead in the later turns though. I really like Wipe Away. Split second bounce can't be undervalued. You could try Reshape. Nothing wrong with more tutoring, and it grabs artifact creatures.
I don't know how your playgroup feels about cards like Time Stretch but I've won a lot of games on the back of that one.
Some of you may think that you have made great mistakes in your lives, and perhaps you have. But let me ask you this.... did you ever play strip poker with two fat chicks and win?

@KaneZen: I also like Propaganda.

Friends won't like any of those combos.
Drops for Future Sight and Propaganda? Dropped an Island for hall, I am thinking the shackles out for Propaganda. Thoughts?

How is Inkwell Leviathan? I have Darksteel Colossus but I'm not crazy about it. I rarely if ever win through damage anyway.

Lastly, I like Pithing Needle. It's nice to laugh off Viashino Heretic, Strip Mine, Glen-Elendra Archmage, Pernicious Deed, other people's Nevinyrral's Disks, and so on.
