Ikoria Standard Four Color Elementals (Standard MTG Deck)

Hi. So this deck is very much in the building process, not complete at all yet. I want to try and build an elemental themed deck with some graveyard synergy and raw power level out of cards like genesis ultimatum. I initially wanted just sultan with illuna because her mutate doesn't require red, but the more I look at it, there are quite a few duals in standard that I could probably get away with some of the more powerful payoffs for elementals like omnath. Genesis ultimatum from there seems obvious, as it is straight up broken. I haven't tested anything yet, I'm still in the beginning phase of this deck, but I may end up narrowing down to base 3 colors with a very light splash if the mana base seems to be too rough. It's going to be base green blue though, so I am hoping that risen reef, uro, and growth spiral are enough to smooth out my colors. It may not though, so Ill have to test it out and see. I am pretty sure that this list includes all of the cards that I want to play, and Ill just cut from here, but if I missed anything, please let me know.

Edit

So after a little bit of testing, I realized that Illuna is actually not that great. It gets me very minimal value unless I mutate it, and then I don't have any other way to mutate and continue getting that value. This led me to the decision of cutting it entirely. It was mainly in there because it was very powerful in the straight up femur elemental variant, but that deck ran parcelbeast, and was therefore able to mutate multiple times in a given game on illuna. I just found that I would rather have more consistency, so I cut the two illuna for a second yarok and a third cavalier of thorns, and those have proven to be much better. Apart from this, however, I have been pretty impressed with the deck. I don't have much to go on, but from the few games I've played, the engine that the late game provides is really powerful. The first 3 turns are a little slow, but when I kick it off, I just go.
