Animated Anthropomorphic Beings (Standard MTG Deck)

I want my first three turns to be doing something other than putting land onto the field. Ramping in order to play the golems sooner is what I would like to to, but I'm not sure if I should use the Birds of Paradise, Overgrown Battlement, or Explore, possibly even Sphere of the Suns etc.

Also if you could check out the "Maybeboard" and give me your thoughts on the cards in there, I'd appreciate it as well.

Please rate, comment and leave feedback on the deck so I can improve it. +1 if you like the creative name/ idea of the deck.

HELP! The decks having issues with longevity and speed. I know those are both different issues but if you guys could help me out i'd appreciate it.

Edit

After making the deck a year ago, I'm adding new cards to make standard play competitive. For a general idea, here's a turn 4 strategy of what the deck can do.

Turn 1 - Land, Birds of Paradise

Turn 2 - Land, Intangible Virtue , Avacyn's Pilgrim

Turn 3 - Land, Parallel Lives , Another Birds of Paradise or Avacyn's Pilgrim

Turn 4 - Land, Precursor Golem

That leave's me with 4 Golem Tokens that are all 4/4 with vigilance. With one land left over, an Apostle's Blessing in hand gives protection to all my tokens (because of Precursor Golem ) and any removal.

Mimic Vat allows me to revamp the deck after a board wipe, if Parallel Lives is on the field I can pay 3 colorless mana for a Wing Splicer resulting in 2 flying 3/3's. In which I can offer the Wing Splicer to a Birthing Pod for a Precursor Golem for a total of 6 golems in one turn for a total of 5 mana.

Phantasmal Image is obvious for copying Splicer's and producing Golems. Sun Titan is great late game for multiple reasons.

So let me know what you think, +1 if you like it and tell me why you don't.
