I would probably take out the jitte and a submerge maybe? For 2 of kira. It might take some main board shuffling to work her in I don't know about her yet.
Back to basics is great! It's a must answer card for many decks running lots of non basic lands. Now zoo has to burn their grips and pridemages on it instead of your vials.
Not to mention multiples can be pitched to FoW, I love it.
On Kira: I always wish I had her vs Zoo. Which is an abysmal matchup anyway. If I had her I might run her in the board. It just seems not so awesome to tap your vial when it finally gets to 3 or to tap 3 mana for a non lord, non merfolk creature. Not many decks run TONS of removal but the ones that do mess merfolk up anyway.
I'm running a typical list so just use your imagination, sideboard though I wouldn't mind some pointers on.
I'm curious about people saying they have used emrakul has a alternate wincon in this deck. How consistent can you cast him? I guess I could slide him into my build...
I would take out ravens crime for duress. Maybe even hymm to tourach. Id take out birds for more threats. Otherwise I think it is an awesome and pretty original take on loam/rock strategies.

I've seen it in lots of lists and snagged one easy today.
Edit: what if you took out the tops for vials and the counterbalances for dazes/counterspells and made it more of a tempo deck?
