Looking for some c&c on my first deck - a simic control

As the title says, I'm looking for some criticism, suggestions, and comments on my deck. My buddy got me into Magic a couple weeks back. I started out playing with one of his decks, then bought a "hit the ground running" starter deck. After being a little disappointed with it, I decided to build my own. I lovingly named it Homie Don't Play That.

I wrote a pretty detailed explanation of the deck's intent, playstyles, and combos. I feel like I have a solid deck, but still have a few concerns.

Some of my concerns are:

• Do my card ratios look ok? Not enough instants? Is my mana pool a little off?
• Is my end game strategy sound?
• Is my mana acceleration too aggressive for this deck?
• Should I be running more basic forests with Nissa, Worldwaker in my deck?
• What should I include in my side board to swap out with Phyrexian Revoker ? Another Boon Satyr and Courser of Kruphix maybe? (Those coursers are expensive!)
• Are there any control type spells I missed that would mesh well with this deck, or ones that I should remove because they don't work well enough?

Thanks!
