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

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

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

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.
