Losing nissa's pilgrimage, explosive vegetation and dragonlord atarka is huge. If the format gets faster, which I think is the case, then Ramp will not be a good choice going forward. I will still play my ramp deck this friday and this is the list I'm thinking of playing.
Im surprised your still running that kind of list, I think most have moved to the RG delirium build with Emrakul.
Nissa, Vital Force isnt standard legal right now and we cant talk about new cards until the release date, correct me if im wrong because I would LOVE to talk about my ideas!
It's ok to talk about kaladesh now since the full spoiler is out.
Questions:
Hedron Archive - or the new chandra?
Chandra Would add more removal to the deck, card advantage.
-is the double red better than colorless that could be needed to
resurrect Worldbreaker? The Double red could be used to +1 her and then cast
Bombardment to help protect her.
-adding 2 Chandra would be +2 Planeswalkers and -2 Artifacts, 4/6 instead of 2/8,
That would help cast Emrakul faster with the greater chance of another card type
in the grave.
-Otherwise casting Archive is easier than Chandra, will that come up with 8 red
sources plus traverses and "digs" (vessel and grapple)
Cultivator's Caravan is replacing Nissa's Pilgrimage. I really like the synergy with Ishkanah's spiderlings, very flavorful

The real question is:
Is the manabase good enough to consistently cast New Chandra on turn 4? IMHO, no, but I could be wrong. As for removal I would love to play 2-3 flame lash main deck. That card is so good especially against Gideon and Liliana, the 2 planeswalkers that always give ramp deck a lot of problems. I might take out the Hydras for Flame lash and maybe even cut 1 of the renewal for a 3rd Lash.

That spell costs 4!
Thats definitely an option I suppose.
If thats the case then:
2 Hedron Crawler
3 Ishkanah, Grafwidow
1 Combustible Gearhulk - replaces Atarka
1 Ulvenwald Hydra - flex spot
2 World Breaker
2 Emrakul, Promised End
Spells - 27
4 Traverse the Ulvenwald
4 Vessel of Nascency
4 Grapple with the Past
4 Galvanic Bombardment - mill one and your 2nd hits displacers
3 Kozilek's Return
4 Cultivator's Caravan - Makes lil spiders useful
2 Hedron Archive - or the new chandra?
2 Chandra, Flamecaller
10 Forest
2 Mountain
3 Cinder Glade
3 Game Trail
2 Shrine fo the Forsaken Gods
1 Sanctum of Ugin
1 Rogue's Passage - if no Hydra, this can leave
