Hello all who read my thread, thank you for giving me the time to look over it. As some of you may know from seeing me around, I like building theme decks for EDH. I currently have four of the five colors of decks, and am trying to get the fifth, green. I decided to go for snakes because they've not very common and seem like they could be fun to play with. I haven't had a lot of experience in the way of green, so not all of my card choices may be optimal. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is the deck as it stands so far (Note - I play against a lot of decks with black):
A large amount of the deck is based off of cards I already have, but I can get new cards to make the deck better. Any suggestions you guys have will be greatly appreciated, and I thank you ahead of time :D. (Note: This is not the deck as it is currently build, I am still missing some of these cards. Price is not a problem if a card would greatly help this deck.)
-1 Nourishing Soul, +1 Endless Swarm
-1 Might of Oaks, +1 Sosuke's Summons
-1 Ezuri's Brigade, +1 Coat of Arms
-1 Elvish Piper, +1 Sensei's Divining Top
-1 Troll Ascetic, +1 Lurking Predators
-1 Boar Umbra, +1 Kamahl, Fist of Krosa
-1 Soul's Majesty, +1 Regal Force
-1 Epic Proportions, +1 Decree of Savagry
Sensei's Divining Top? Unless you don't like it. Also, you should call this Snakes on a Plane.
Totally forgot about Top, will have to pick one up. I'd call is Snakes on a Plane if they flew, but as it is they're more of Snakes on a Train. Maybe Snakes in a Car? Hell, they're snakes no matter where they are.
Pretty much ever card you just listed to cut was looking to be cut already, and was just in there because I had one already. List updated. Couldn't find room for all cards suggested so far, more help would still be greatly appreciated.

They're all good additions. Any suggestions on what to cut
I will deffinately have to get one and add it in, I totally forgot about it. Same as above though, any suggestions on cuts?
Eh. Feels like cheating to use him, but I'll probably get one of I see it.
Yeah, that's how I was leaning. Think I'll go for him.
Totally forgot about Top, will have to pick one up. I'd call is Snakes on a Plane if they flew, but as it is they're more of Snakes on a Train. Maybe Snakes in a Car? Hell, they're snakes no matter where they are.

I would cut:
Nourishing Soul: one-shot lifegain isn't going to get you very far
Might of Oaks: one-shot pumping isn't going to get you very far
Ezuri's Brigade: this is off-theme and its metalcraft pumping is almost never going to work in a deck with 5 artifacts...
Elvish Piper: most of your guys have small mana costs; the piper is better when you're trying to cheat out fatties
Troll Ascetic: off-theme and Kamahl or Brass Herald are way better
Boar Umbra: doesn't seem useful
Soul's Majesty: most of your dudes are small. You would get more milage out of Regal Force, Primordial Sage, or even Collective Unconscious
Epic Proportions: auras are too vulnerable; Decree of Savagery is better
I will definitely have to keep an eye out for one, hard to trade for a lot of Kamigawa cards like that one though. Will probably end up buying one.
