Step Three: Prophet (2nd Place FNM x2!)

Standard FNM GU (Simic)

Step 1: Play a land

Step 2: ????

Step 3: Prophet!

I am looking for some suggestions on ways to improve this deck. The main focus is to abuse Prophet of Kruphix's flash ability to play spells every turn and keep my attackers ready, while also protecting them from the normal Standard badness.

The cards as they are now:

Boon Satyr: Flash! Four power! Two devotion! Can enchant an attacker! I'll take 4.

Courser of Kruphix: While a decent 2/4 body for 3 mana, I have found him to not be that useful. He can go, but I'd like to replace him with something that will get me card advantage.

Cyclonic Rift: In a pinch, can serve as a small bounce, but when overloaded, will win me the game.

Elvish Mystic and Sylvan Caryatid: Ramp, plus both have the potential to trigger a Cloudfin Raptor evolve.

Fleetfeather Cockatrice: Flash? Check. Flying? Check. Deathtouch? Check. This thing is a beast! Every Simic deck should be running it.

Garruk, Caller of Beasts: Excellent card-drawing power, and being able to play Step 3 off of him is very useful.

Kiora, the Crashing Wave: Gotta love those 9/9 Krakens! I can use to for the card-draw or to lock down a threat, but her ultimate is what I am really after.

Kiora's Follower: As well as being a peudo-mana elf, he really explodes with a Shrine in play.

Kruphix, God of Horizons: Indestructible, 4/7, and holds my mana. When his Prophet is in play, mana gets silly, and being able to flash in something else (with the Prophet or with a Flash creature), turning him on in combat is fun!

Mortal's Resolve: Losing to a board wipe sucks. With this card, I can keep my Prophet alive, or my biggest attacker if I am on the verge of winning.

Polukranos, World Eater: Four mana for 5 power, and I can make him bigger, AND he can kill things with all the extra mana I get? Yes please!

Prime Speaker Zegana: Massive card-draw, helping replenish my hand.

Prophet of Kruphix: The star of the deck. If left for a turn, it has already paid for itself. Extra untaps and flash on creatures is powerful.

Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Updates Add

With the release of Journey into Nyx, I added a couple of Fleetfeather Cockatrice's and Kruphix, God of Horizons. The deck went 4-1 at FNM, losing in the 4th round to an agressive black/red deck (I think it was a slightly-modified event deck, but I can't be sure). Courser of Kruphix wasn't as good as I would have hoped, so I'm looking on some suggestions on what to replace him with. More card advantage would probably be best.
