My first deck that was built with any amount of thought to it. The basic concept is a lot of life gain and a lot of tokens.

The Suture Priests might be able to win the game if I can get them out before Elspeth, Sun's Champion. As she's pumping out 3 soldiers, I have 3 priests, resulting in a loss of 9 health to my opponent's, and a gain of 9 for myself. A couple main phases later and my opponent is left at 2 health.

With 2-4 Alive / Well cards in a condensed 60 card deck. I can continuously pump a lot of life out of my tokens that will be being pumped out by Elspeth, Sun's Champion.

Ajani Steadfast is the Planeswalker I'd like to have out after Elspeth, Sun's Champion. (I feel comfortable putting Elspeth out on her own because 1: there are two of her in the deck, and 2: she comes with her own bodyguards) Once he's popped, my planeswalkers can't be hurt too badly.

Ajani, Mentor of Heroes is clearly not here just for his Ult, his second +1 allows me to pump out planeswalkers, creatures, and enchantments. But when the time comes, I will pop him for the 100 life.

Once I have the 100, That's when Ajani, Caller of the Pride comes into play. While he's waiting to be popped, He'll be boosting one of my creatures (Preferably Sun Titan). When the time comes, I will pop him as well, and find myself with 100+ Cat creature tokens.

Now I use Alive / Well and I now gain 200+ life.

After this, I attack with Sun Titan and I return a permanent with converted mana cost 3 or less from the graveyard to the battlefield. In this case, that permanent is Ajani, Caller of the Pride.

You begin to see how this loops.

All the while there are Enchantments Like Cathars' Crusade, Brave the Sands, Ajani's Mantra , and Intangible Virtue that are all boosting my tokens.

There are lots of other ways this deck is prepared to wipe out its opponents.

I could end a game with just the Chalice of Life   , Or I could get a few powerful creatures with Odric, Master Tactician to force my opponent into taking a ton of damage.

Now obviously this is a dreamlike flow of how the deck with go for me, but that is the ideal. Please tell what I can do to potentially improve this flow.

[NOTE] Tappedout.net deck builder has marked Selesnya Guildgate and New Benalia as Illegal in Modern. I have looked at 3 different sights, Including gather.wizards.com and Tappedout.net itself to confirm that both of the aforementioned cards ARE LEGAL in Modern.
