So, aside from an opponent wasting a kill spell on my mystic, how would it help to trade him for a land.  Because basically you're saying that if I would draw that mystic, instead I would draw a land, but if I could play the mystic I instead get an extra mana ahead of my opponent.  I just feel that trade seems pointless.  Or am I missing something?

But a {lightning strike} is probably the best burn spell in standard atm.  Aside from {satyr firedancer} combo, using that on a 1/1 mana guy seems far less important than one of the 5 walkers I have or me.

I don't mean to argue or anything, I just feel that someone who played against my deck would see that removing a 1/1 mana dork is far less important than most of my other cards.

Id move Brimaz to the sideboard and cut both Ephara and {Horizon Chimera} (as painful as it is to say that, I love Chimera). This would give you room for more lands, {Dissolve}s or {Jace's Ingenuity}. I understand the {Soul of New Phyrexia} is a safe guard against {Fated Retribution}, but Id test moving it to the sideboard in favor of counterspells, because they have more versatility and are always good.

Brimaz I'm on te fence about even keeping in the deck, he's just really nice with ephara for draws. Soul and chimera are my wincons after I delay the game enough to trample over everything with ajani's counters.  Might try out the ingenuity instead and put some quickling mainboard.

Hitting a mystic early with a kill spell isn't a waste especially with your low land count... That could cripple you... Enough for a red deck to run u over before u even get the land u need... I'd also consider some disruption yourself... Maybe banishing lights

Anoobass

Newly updated, testing atm dropping ephara for an extra forest and island.

Also, now that I've added {banishing light} to my side, should I change {back to nature} to {naturalize}.  Unless anyone really sees constellation decks surviving rotation.
