Liege of the Surge (Modern MTG Deck)

This is one of my favorite decks, which I've only ever played casually but am considering trying out in modern. I like to think the mainboard is basically complete, but I'm open to suggestions. I definitely think the sideboard needs work, mostly because it's built almost entirely of cards that didn't quite make the cut.

The two main goals of the deck are to get Liege of the Tangle out so I can turn my forests into 8/8 creatures and to hit Primal Surge so I can get basically my whole deck onto the battlefield.

I have plenty of elves for ramping, primarily through Joraga Treespeaker and her level up ability, plus a couple of devotion things: Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Karametra's Acolyte.

Besides the elves and the Liege, I've got some general big baddies and some a bit of flying defense (since none of my creatures actually have flying). A spider or two, the Tornado Elemental, and when I'm playing casually, the Spidersilk Armor which I realize isn't modern.

Thoughts and suggestions, please! I'd like to find a way to work in the Khalni Hydra and Primalcrux. Also, permanents only, please. I want to keep it so primal surge is the only instant/sorcery in the deck.

Looking at dropping:

1 Pathbreaker Wurm - Never get a ton of use out of it.
1 Ezuri's Archers - Should I maybe sideboard these anyway?
1 Masked Admirers - The card draw is nice, but the second ability doesn't get a lot of play in this deck because I usually make it to Primal Surge.
2 Slaughterhorn - Bloodrush was my way of replacing stuff like Giant Growth when I took this in an all-permanent direction, but again, not my strongest draw.
1 Wasteland Viper - I love me some Deathtouch, but maybe there are better things?
1 Trollhide - This used to be a more-of, but it got dwindled and I feel like Blanchwood Armor is maybe more useful in this deck.

Looking at sideboarding:
1 Tornado Elemental - Especially if I get Akroma's Memorial, because I kinda don't want to do 6 damage to all my things.
