Rotation free devotion green ramp deck with Nissa and Garruk including a sideboard and maybe board.

If someone knows how to improve my deck any furthere beyond this, it would be much appriciated.

How to play my deck:

Turn 1: Elvish Mystic
Turn 2: Sylvan Caryatid or Courser of Kruphix
Turn 3: Polukranos, World Eater or Nissa, Worldwaker, then untap 3 forests and play Courser of Kruphix or make a 4/4 creature from a land.
Turn 4: By now you should have between 4 to 7 devotion. tap Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for atleast 4 devotion mana, then 1 land and Elvish Mystic or Sylvan Caryatid for atleast 6 mana to play one of the big creatures, if you are lucky then you have 7 or 8 mana and can play Archetype of Endurance . Or just play gurruk, apex predator with the mana of Sylvan Caryatid .
Turn 5+ By now you have a shitload of devotion and start to spam creatures like hell. Hopefully you have Soul of New Phyrexia with Archetype of Endurance on the field. This combo makes all your creatures hexproof and with soul of new phyrexia all your permanents will be indestructible. This will make your battlefield nearly untoucheble. Maybe with Nylea, God of the Hunt your other creatures will also have trample, and with Hydra Broodmaster you could create even more big creatures Only watch out for your mana, because the indestructible effect coasts 5 mana.

Special notes
-- Notice that this deck has no swamps so to cast Garruk, Apex Predator so you will need Sylvan Caryatid , or Genesis Hydra to get him on the field.
-- Garruk, Apex Predator perhaps does not help with devotion but he is an awsome card to destroy planeswalkers, other creatures or making deathtouch creatures. Then with his final ability your apponent will get an emblem that everything attacking him gets +5/+5 and trample. And with so many creatures in this deck this should be a huge overkill. And with Soul of New Phyrexia garruk will be indestructible so other garruks, or destroy effects won't effect him.
-- Nissa, Worldwaker's create 4/4 creature comes verry handy with darksteel citadel. This will makes him a 4/4 creature but he will still be indestructible. This might help you a lot against sertain annoying creatures.
-- Even if Genesis Hydra is countered, the permanent you play with his effect will still enter the battlefield.
-- Courser of Kruphix is verry handy even tho you might think he is not. He prefents you from having to draw lands, gives you some life and is a good blocker in early game. but note this. if you have a land card in your hand, first try to play a land card from your library, as this might save you from having to draw a land card next turn.
-- Polukranos, World Eater can also kill flying creatures with his effect.
-- When using satessan tactics, note that first strike has no effect with this. first strike is only activated during combat, and satessan tactics doesn't use combat so first strike is useless with this. And note that you don't have to fight when using it, you could also just give all your creatures +1/+1, in tight situations or when you need that few extra damage kill your apponent, or save your creatures this might be verry welcome at that point.
-- Try not to keep an openinghands without Elvish Mystic or Sylvan Caryatid and especially if you also have Garruk, Apex Predator in your openingshand.

Edit

Try out:

2x satessan tactics for 2x chord of calling (to try it out)

3x Reclamation Sage for 3x broodmaster hydra (to spend all that devotion mana on something)

1x Nylea, God of the Hunt for 1x Polukranos, World Eater (Nylea is an indestructeble card and therefor hard to kill, and becomes an dead card verry soon. On the other hand it feels kina strange to have 4x world eater as for he is also an legendray card and could also be a dead card)

1x garruk, apex predator, 1x Archetype of Endurance for 2x Arbor Colossus (usually people don't have any or almost no flying creatures, then if this is the case then arbor colossus becomes half a dead card, it will still be a 6/6 creature but all of it's effects will be completely pointless. But as for you guys adviced me to use him i will try it out.)

Try out later:

Hornet queen: indeed this card is nice for my devotion, with deathtouch, flying with 4 extra flyers. but it does coast 7 mana to cast. That sounds like a hell of a lot mana for a 2/2 creature, if she was a 4/4 atleast it would be a lot more attractive. But i can't ignore the sugestion, so I will try it out.
