Deck Description

I'm new to constructed play and I need help with this! What to put in? I'd like it to stay standard for a while. Suggestions warmly welcomed! :)

Deck discussion for Standard Creature Ramp

Maybe -1 Explore, -1 Primal Bellow, +2 Swiftfoot Boots. Does that sound like a good move?

I could maybe add some Viridian Emissaries if I take out some ramps. So many options, somebody help me! lol

Take out the Primal Bellows and Hunter's Insight. Fog and Overrun are much better. Ramp needs to be creature based, with as little instants and sorceries as possible. Leige of the tangle is a great card, boosting your creature base. Also, Green Leyline + Protean Hydra is a great combo, as the Hydra never dies due to damage, and gets larger with every block. Rampaging Baloths: a 4/4 every time you play a land, and maybe some Terrimorphic Expanses to boost it. Drop the Well/Boots/Dismember in sideboard for a playset of naturalize, plummet and Obstanate Baloths and go up to 3 asceticism. One last tip: Birds is always better than Llanowar. Same mana cost for a flyer that taps for anything. I used to run a mono green Ramp deck, and I always placed in fnm every time I ran it.

Great suggestions! The only thing is, I don't want to buy cards that have a "life" of 2 months before Zendikar cycles out (that's how that works, right?). The sideboard improvements are definitely better than what I had, but again the Obstinate Baloth I'm not sure about as I plan on buying this deck.
Why are Birds better than Llanowar? I'm not going to need anything other than green mana, and I can at least attack with a 1/1 if I need/want to. Can you enlighten me further?

Sorry for the double post. I forgot to mention, if I take out Hunter's Insight, where will my draws be? A mana ramp deck gets real slow after the first couple turns.

That's kind of a whole other deck :P
Mono green is awesome because of the ramps and the Dungrove Elders; they work so well with each other!
