Deck still under construction

Made a deck around the Deceiver of Form + Conduit of Ruin combo. It's not originally my idea. I googled decks that are revolving around this combo and adjusted them to my needs and the cards that I have.

It's great once it's set up, but it takes a few turns to get it going, unless I have a really great draw.

Basically, we have the From Beyond, Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Garruk Wildspeaker as token creators. Garruk can also help untap your lands to cast those eldrazis. From Beyond can also search for your Deceiver of Form or Conduit of Ruin faster.

Once Deceiver of Form is on the battlefield, Conduit of Ruin can search for your threats like It That Betrays, Blightsteel Colossus or any other threats to place on top of the library for the Deceiver to copy to all your other creatures.

Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is there as a contingency and to shuffle graveyard to library if needed. But I was thinking of using Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger as well because of his "milling ability.

Other cards like Cream of the Crop helps you get to your key cards quickly. With Cream of the Crop in play, I cast Deceiver of Form. I will then look at the top 8 cards of my library, letting me place the creature card I need on top of my library and lets Deceiver make copies of that card.

Mortuary Mire lets you place a creature card from the graveyard on top of your library as another option for Deceiver of Form to copy.

I wanted to change Hedron Archive to a Sol Ring instead, and Llanowar Wastes to a Tainted Wood, but I also wanted to keep the deck Modern Legal.

Suggestions are most definitely welcome.
