Also, considering running {Ajani's Presence} in place of {Gods Willing} to save at least 3-4 creatures late game from board wipes

This is really meta dependent. If you're seeing lots of {Path to Exile}, {Oblivion Ring}, ect then {Ajani's Presence} isn't as good.

On that note {Faith's Shield} may be better than {Gods Willing}.

I do like that a lot better, can be a late game "game changer"

It's also "target permanent" which can be extremely relevant. You do lose a scry but I think it's worth it.

Could save a land or a leyline which is great

It won't stop {Ghost Quarter} or {Tectonic Edge} as they're colourless, but yes.

True, does this deck really need ramp though? I just think it's safer to curve out aggressively and not worry about dead mana sources.

He may have a point.

No it probably doesn't but I mean making an indestructible/hexproof fleecemane t4 is always great and as was mentioned already no one really plays removal for indestructible, also any 3-4 drop a turn prior to playing it is always great. That's my reasoning... But at the same time if theyre going to waste their kill spells on a 0/1 flyer I'm not worried because it's one less removal I need to worry about. Also most people play path to exiles as removal so my bird of paradise turns into an evolving wilds and I don't have a problem with that
I'm thinking more about board wraths than individual removal spells.

Picked up a playset of {Noble Hierarch}s so added those beautiful ladies into the mix

May sideboard 2 {vexing shusher} for a sideboard option against control. I'd take out the qasali pride mages

Honestly just splash B for T seize/Inquisition and {Lingering Souls} it'll be much better just look at Jacob Wilson's Top 8 decklist from PT FRF

Well I don't want to just yet because I don't have the enemy fetches and don't want to go spend a few hundred on them just yet. I wanna wait and see if they come out any time soon in future sets and then I'll splash black in. I thought about going the cheap route and just using {caves of koilos} and {llanowar wastes} instead but it doesn't seem very efficient

Ya agreed but here's the list incase you change your mind:
