Hi there, you may want to add a bit more ramp so that you can get Mayael's ability online sooner, as well as fix your mana. Might I suggest Cultivate, Kodama's Reach, Skyshroud Claim (since you're running dual lands) and/or Explosive Vegetation.
Also, Shield of the Oversoul doesn't seem worth it to me, but that could just be me, since I find Auras lackluster in EDH. If you're looking to clear up space, you may be able to cut one or two fatties if you want, as long as you still have 20 in your deck.

Shield of the Oversoul was just intended for straight Mayael protection, or potentially to give a creature evasion to get through for a kill shot. It feels a lot "quicker" than darksteel plate or some of the other protective equipment for this deck...
Enjoyed a few games with a friend playing with one free mulligan. I'm not sure if 35 land is quite enough. Any time I played the deck I was totally fine, anytime he played it he seemed land screwed. Still wondering if I should add one more ramp, maybe nature's lore...
I would recommend Krosan Tusker since early game he serves as a psuedo Yavimaya Elder, and later on he can be flipped into play off of Mayael if you have nothing better.

This "love" intrigues me. Teach me to fake it.

You're right about additional ramp Zoidberg, I'm just not sure what I can possibly eliminate from her deck list to incorporate it! I'm thinking potentially one of the mana dorks would have to go.... but it sort of feels like trading apples for apples, except that mana dorks are susceptible to wipes... Any ideas of things you'd remove from my deck list? I'm very hesitant to drop any fatties, seeing as 24 feels pretty ideal and I believe I'm sitting at 23.
I am also tempted to include a Crystal Ball since top deck manipulation is essentially the key to success with this deck:
