Rough draft of what I'd like to play in the upcoming BFZ Standard.

Could use help with:
1.) Alternate card choices/strategies
2.) Suggestions for more Simic card advantage in BFZ.
3.) Card counts ( As a terrible deck builder, I'm always in "More must be better!" mode.)
4.) Sideboard suggestions.

I own a playset of Deathmist Raptor and Den Protector, and I want to take advantage of that investment. I'm a Simic fanboy, thus I heart Kiora, Master of the Depths who happens to synergize well with them.

Leaf Gilder and Rattleclaw Mystic let Kiora come out Turn 4 and can be ramped by her the same turn for an additional 2-drop or next turn for 7-mana (plus Rattleclaw plays into morph bluffing/Raptor resurrecting).

Thanks to Kalibroxin for the inspiration of Surrak, the Hunt Caller -> Torrent Elemental , which plays right along with the already structured ramping and creature digging.

Whisperwood Elemental for card advatage, morph synergies, sweeper resilience, and Torrent enabled alpha strikes.

Stratus Dancer fleshed out bottom curve as evasive aggro in games where needed, or sweeper/removal countering when pressing longer.
