I am looking for help to make this deck competitive in modern format.

This deck relies heavily on mana ramp, which means early field wipe from red and black is absolutely devastating. Any suggestions to avoid being shut down would help a lot!

Falling behind in life early game is no problem as I can catch back up thanks to Bow of Nylea + Kiora's Follower + Prophet of Kruphix I am also able to consistently gain life from Courser of Kruphix, and I'm sometimes allowed an extra boost from Search for Tomorrow

Birds of Paradise allow me to ramp quicker. If I draw them late game I'll still have decent attackers to swing in the air with thanks to Birds of Paradise + Master Biomancer .

Because I have Search for Tomorrow , Chord of Calling, Wooded Foothills, and Genesis Hydra my decks lands are gotten out of the way quickly while stronger more important creatures like Prophet of Kruphix and Thrun, the Last Troll are able to hit the field, creating a major presence.

If my mana ramp hasn't been stopped I can easily obtain field and hand advantage: Fathom Mage + Genesis Hydra + Bioshift , Genesis Hydra + Prime Speaker Zegana , Master Biomancer + Prime Speaker Zegana , Bow of Nylea + Fathom Mage + Kiora's Follower , Fathom Mage + Master Biomancer , etc.

None of these combos are ever out of reach when I have 3x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and a lot of devotion. Garruk Wildspeaker and Kiora's Follower can both untap Nykthos, and they both give devotion.

Anything to make the deck more reliable against early field wipe would be greatly accepted, I read all comments and consider all suggestions.

Updates Add

Here is the new update list; progress is being made. I tested the deck out, it's still very fun to play, the original theme hasn't changed, and it's gradually becoming the best version of itself.

-1 Forest -1 Island -2 Horizon Chimera -2 Give / Take and 2 Aetherspouts have been moved to the side board.

Cards added: +3 Master Biomancer, +3 Simic Charm, +2 Biovisionary

I am currently considering adding Hornet Queen and maybe a third Garruk Wildspeaker I would appreciate hearing anyones thoughts on this.
