Later this month I'm getting a full set of Utopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf, which I will use to replace my Elvish Mystics and Karametra's Acolytes. Someone also recommended Gyre Sage.
My main problem right now is not drawing the right cards and not having a fast enough mana ramp to get them out.
Any advice or suggestion would help!

Arbor Elf and Utopia Sprawl as you mentioned is the best. Karametra's Acolyte is decent in my opinion. Also you should include Overgrowth to increase consistency. You also need more ways to untap your enchanted lands. Such as Garruk Wildspeaker and Nissa, Worldwaker. Hope this helps!

Hi. You could swap out Swiftfoot Boots for Sword of the Animist. And instead of Mana Reflection put in Exploration

I casually run this. It can get 5 lands out by the end of T2 on a nut draw and usually around 6 by turn 4 on an average hand.

Put the list into an actual deck to make it easier for us to comment on.
