Does the deck even need Shefet Monitor?

My standard deck (not trying to advertise) uses shefet monitor to generate mana mid-combo, but in testing I'm starting to think I may not need it. I am very unsure, and would like any input I can get. I already have almost the entire deck in paper from pre-release trading and such (just 10-15 cards away, most of which are the lands), but I can't test my deck fast enough to know if I should really be playing Shefet Monitors or not. A lot of times in testing I find that Viziers end up pulling all the necessary weight I need to combo out, but I can't really be sure. For now I've been testing Sweltering Suns in its place to some success, but I still don't feel really sure about the change. Any thoughts or input from anybody who's played this deck or a similar version of it? Thanks!

I'd keep the Monitors. The Viziers are enough especially if you've got Weirding Wood out, but it doesn't hurt to have a backup plan in case you don't draw enough Viziers in the first round of cycling.
