Need some help developing land base/half of the creature base for a new brew

Hey guys I have a new brew here and desperately need help finishing it off.
The core is a bant colored Panharmonicon deck with Eldritch Evolution. This lets me tutor any ETB that I want (within card constraints, of course) and double it.
The fluff is the creature selection itself. This is where my delimma comes in. Am I running the right creatures for this type of strategy? Do I really need a full 4 Thraben Inspector or 2? 3? Since Panharmonicon is so essential to the strategy of the deck, are 4 glint-nest cranes worth running? Anything and everything helps, and thanks for taking the time to read through this. I really hope this deck can be semi-competitive.
I'd like to note that the iteration I have now is weak to GB aggro and the Saheeli matchup is iffy. This needs to be fixed.

With Saheeli Rai combo decks being a top dog in standard, any deck not able to interact with it is not looking good. INstant speed interaction is even better.
4 Fairgrounds Warden seem to be a good addition. 3 Wall of Resurgence is very good anti-aggro card in this meta vs GB. 4 Felidar Guardian is a given. 3 Rishkar, Peema Renegade is a very good option to ramp and 4 Cloudblazer are always the bread and butter of this type of deck. I like Thraben Inspector as good 4-of early drop. Of course, 4 Servant of the Conduit for more ramp and fixing are quite good.
26 creatures, 22 lands and 4 Panharmonicon so far. That leaves space for 8 spells, which should be removals. 2 Skywhaler's Shot, 2 Declaration in Stone, 3 Essence Flux and 1 Eerie Interlude that act as instant speed removals with the warden.
