Thanks! I moved Prime Time to SB, and added in 1 island, how does that look now?

I don't think it is a good sideboard card at all.
Atarka's is a bit eh cause 2 modes are useless. We don't care about life gain that stays below the 36 mark, and we don't attack. If someone goes up, we just bolt them down, stop them or whatever

Primeval Titan and Izzet Charm aren't sideboard cards. Certainly cut those.
Otherwise, Atarka's Command is really bad in this deck. We aren't playing Explore, and Command is almost always worse than Explore. Getting a land into play at instant speed doesn't really do anything, and the other modes are marginal at best. You need four Remands, and I highly suggest Monastery Siege or Repeal (probably Repeal) as the other two slots.
Four Cryptic Commands. Do it. NOW.

Thank you GA. Now,I remove Atarka's Command, frees up three spots. I am supposed to add 4 cards(based on your above comment).
Which one card do I remove?

Technically speaking, I was telling you to add 6 cards. However, the 26th land can go.

Ah, so 2 Sieges, 2 repeals, 1 remand, and 1 command?
So take out the island or the halimar depths?

You can visit this deck if you want to see my version.
You need 3 Islands. My cut would either be the Halimar Depths or a Misty Rainforest (which those Wooded Foothills should be). If you choose to keep the Depths, Temple of Mystery is a better choice.
One more small thing: I'd choose another Flooded Grove over Cascade Bluffs, because we don't need to cast Anger of the Gods anymore.

I know the foothills should be mistys, im just waiting until they are reprinted to drop in price. Okay, I will cut the depths. I like bluffs because it helps turn on electrolyze and izzet charm since you don't wanna play mountains until you can scapeshift to win. Unless I am wrong in how to play the deck?
Good news is I found a second Monastery Siege in my binder, so that's set.

You don't hold all the Mountains in your hand. You will naturally draw and play some.

I'm not saying I want to hold the mountains, but I need to have around 6 in my library based on opponents life total, correct?

It's complicated. Getting one or two out of your deck is not a problem.

Yeah. Thanks! I assume when playing Monastery Siege choose Khans?

You want 3 islands to be able to cast your cryptics off, and if you run Halimar, it should be your 26th land IMO.
Also, singleton prime titan is a bit eh. If I had to play a singleton it would be Keranos or Prismatic Omen.
Match up wise, Scapeshift struggles with fast decks, such as infect, affinity or auras. It also struggles versus decks like Junk, as beats + disruption stop us reaching our wincon.
