Ooh, nice one. Any suggestions on what to remove for it?

Eldrazi Conscription and Auratouched Mage make for a funny turn 6 (or earlier with mana dorks) 13/13 trample annihilator 2 creature! Good deck. +1

Oh wow, that's a crazy aura. I could also put it on Krond or friends if I use Lost Auramancers . It would have to wait till turn 7 or 8 probably, but it would still be crazy.

Swiftfoot Boots , card:Champion's Helm, and Mask of Avacyn will help further protect your guys. However, the format is so full of sweepers, I can't guarantee that it will help much. Flickerform is probably just plain better.
card:Avacyn's Pilgrim and Llanowar Elves mightn't be very useful (I would also put Steward of Valeron on the chopping block). As small mana dorks, they're just going to die as soon as any boardwide damage or sweep happens, putting you down cards. Additionally, they're dead late-game draws, and most of EDH is one big late game. Mana rocks (artifacts) are a better option in general. Selesnya Signet , for one, is a must-have.
You have a lot of creatures that buff your team, like Kabira Vindicator , but not much to give you much of a team (token generation, etc). I would tend to lean more towards creatures with hexproof and/or evasion such as Silhana Ledgewalker , as they do work by themselves, such as following a board wipe, rather than encouraging you to overextend.
Can't go wrong with Sterling Grove .
For the most part, this deck looks very good.

Okay, thanks!
Good call on the mana dorks. I'm still a bit of a newcomer to Commander, so throwing them in there was mainly out of habit. I think I will keep Steward of Valeron though... I'm a big fan of that card, of love him because he's versatile.

Because I also have a secret soft spot for auras I have some cuts/suggestions for your deck :)
Argothian Enchantress is yet ANOTHER draw enchantress but she is rather expensive price wise. Also, card:Enchantress's Presence. Dowsing Shaman and Skull of Orm are neat ways to get enchantments back into your hand in addition to your Nomad Mythmaker . Depending on how voltron-y you want Krond to be, Fugitive Druid and Rabid Wombat are cool old school cards.
I kind of feel Hydra Omnivore is at home in a deck like this, but that's up to you. I just think that card is super awesome.
I'm a huge fan of totem armor and Umbra Mystic is pretty awesome.
Krosan Verge . Green white deck. 'Nuff said.
I highly recommend Dragon Fangs . It might be to weak, but if it's in your graveyard it comes out for free attached to Krond!
Empyrial Armor is handy since auras tend to sit in your hand a lot, so you might as well get a bonus for having a hand of stuff waiting to get cast.
Flickering Ward is pretty handy tech. You can keep bouncing it to change colors and you get to draw a card for W each time because of all the enchantress'. Predatory Urge is also techy since Krond has vigilance. Attack and kill a creature at the end of someone's turn? Ballin'!
I highly recommend cutting Griffin Guide for something like Unquestioned Authority , since someone like Krond already has flying and as your commander he doesn't really "die", so you won't get the token :( Unquestioned Authority will not only replace itself but will make him unblockable. Bonus points for interacting with Predatory Urge !
Since you have Sigil of the Nayan Gods and Aura Shards , Verdant Embrace might be fun.
Loxodon Gatekeeper could technically be Kismet and would be easier to cast and help the enchantment theme.
Some weaker cards I feel are Triclopean Sight , Oblivion Ring , Curse of Exhaustion , card:Beastmaster's Magemark, Wilt-Leaf Liege , and Prophetic Prism .
