Prime Speaker's enter the battlefield ability is a great draw outlet. The deck sports a series of bounce effects artifacts and enchantments to get the most out of enter the battlefield effects from other creatures as well as Prime Speaker.
Took a while to really tune this list down, let me know if there's anything you feel was left out, and something that might be taken out for the addition.
Seedborn went right over my head. I'm not sure what to take out at this point, but I do know Seedborn should be going in... Maybe Phantasmal Image, since Phyrexian Metamorph and Sakashima's Student fill that slot pretty well.
Updated the original list with some of the suggestions you made. Any more advice? I really want to fit Cryptic Command in there somewhere, but not sure what to cut.
Fabricate is nice, though I've been thinking about maybe Tezzeret the Seeker and reintroducing Doubling Season. Lets you draw more cards off of Zegana, Tezzeret can search for Conjurer's Closet with it out. Avenger of Zendikar likes as does Thragtusk.
Updated the OP with new decklist. Dropped both Seedborn and Fauna, though Seedborn may or may not show back up again given the amount of instants the deck runs.
Added Ulamog back in A: To make Tooth and Nail more threatening, and B: As another targeted removal card. Also I like to be able to shuffle my graveyard back into my library, especially when I'm drawing this mana cards. Also Zegana draws 11 cards off of his back.

As for the deck, it looks pretty good to me. Looks more fat-oriented than the Zegana build I have, but mine's also a bit more combo-oriented, I think.
One creature I'm surprised you're not running is Seedborn Muse. The Muse is awesome for abusing Alchemist's Refuge or Deadeye Navigator, and your bounce effects in general.

How many cycle lands for the loam package?
-Whelm + Cryptic seems fine. Its what I was thinking as well.
Crumple/Hinder , perhaps Spin Into Myth?

Here are the changes I'm likely to make next, also, thoughts on removing What for Life from the Loam package?
Thoughts on Reconstruction to help with Intuition Piles as the artifact tutor slot?
