Elven Farsight
Sorcery
Scry 3, then you may reveal the top card of your library. If it's a creature card, draw a card. (Look at the top three cards of your library, then put any number of them on top or bottom of your library in any order.)

I tend to get carried away. Please keep in mind my thoughts are just [verbose] suggestions. Garruk's Uprising would be, IMO, an improvement on Elven Farsight, too, though I do agree with you for the reasons already stated, Harmonize is still probably better. At least with Garruk's Uprising, you don't have a triple G MV like with Tribute to the World Tree.

Very solid deck. I playtested it a few times and it seems perfectly tuned.
The only suggestion I have is to cut Elven Farsight and add Harmonize in it's place. The only advantage Elven Farsight offers over Harmonize is when you have an opening hand without any ramp, as you can cast it on T1. To me, that's not enough to outweigh the drawback of not generating any card advantage. Since you have 11 ramp spells, the deck is more likely to be top-decking early than it is to not have mana to cast your trample creatures. Additionally, at only 2 copies, the likelihood that both conditions are met for it to be useful are low - you both have to have Elven Farsight in your opening hand AND need a mana dork. Alternatively, if you draw Elven Farsight mid-game with 5 mana available, it would have been cheaper mana-wise not to have drawn it and instead to have drawn a creature (admittedly, some gamble there, as there's no guarantee you draw a creature) and cast it. That is, Elven Farsight is at least sometimes just adding a 1MV tax to casting a card you'd have drawn anyway. On the other hand, with Harmonize, you actually gain card advantage when you need it. In fact, generally, in the modern format, Harmonize is one of the best single-instance draw card spells out there because it draws more cards and for less per card. IE the classic spell Divination works out to each drawn card costing 1.5MV where as with Harmonize, each card only costs 1.33MV.
Tribute to the World Tree would be a very good alternative to Harmonize. The only downside to Tribute to the World Tree, IMO, is that it's slower than Harmonize to replace cards in your hand and therefore incentivizes you to cast it before your trample creatures. After all, it won't help you if you top deck it, while Harmonize will. Along those same lines, while it's nice to add 2x +1/+1 counters to your Arbor Elves and Heirarchs, since you really don't want or need to swing with those creatures, that ability is not only moot, but incentivizes the bad play of waiting to cast them until after Tribute to the World Tree is in play. And finally, Tribute to the World Tree's triple green MV isn't ideal in any deck that's not mono-green. Still you could do worse.
