The point us to try to get as much mana as possible using Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Karametra's Acolyte, and use Prophet of Kruphix to play on your opponents turns. Sakura-Tribe Elder is my early game ramp as well as a chump blocker.

Nimbus Swimmer serves as an early game flyer, as well as a mid-game massive creature, since x can be anything from 1 to 80, or even higher. Hydra Broodmaster and Heroes' Bane make use of the abundant mana to easily control the board state

Cartouche of Strength helps get rid of troublesome creatures and grants trample, and River Hoopoe gives card draw and life gain.

Lastly, Nissa, Genesis Mage is the summit of what this deck does. Once you have used her -10, you pretty much have won the game.

I have consistently gotten in excess of 80 mana available at one time mid-game, but it can be a little slow off the start. Tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
