As I've mentioned though, I've been pretty out of the loop for about 3 years. So I don't know if there's anything I should update the mainboard with, and completely don't have a sideboard. I feel like Seal of Primordium is a good place to start for the side, but I don't know where I'd even begin to go from there.
City of Solitude might be a good card to include since if you can stick it, it can shut off counters when you go off with Grapeshot of TOA.

Stasis players like me are like those old gray haired convicts that have been locked up for 40 years straight. You can take us in a fight but you know you'll lose a testicle in the process of winning.

I'll never tell you the flavor text of Teferi's Imp!!
Utopia sprawl is way better than abundant growth I'd say at least if not elephant grass. Cadaverous bloom is the right card for this deck because drawing your whole deck is trivial with it out there. I'd suggest it over grapeshot and rofellos's gift.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
Rofellos's Gift is key to keep the engine going. it combos with Gaea's Touch for additional land drops on the turn you combo off, and grants you large sums of mana as well.
I'm not looking to change up the core deck, that's working fine as-is. Cutting Abundant Growth for Utopia Sprawl would NEVER happen because of the text of "Draw a Card." It's one of the main ways you get the deck going and draw out quickly. Same thing on the Cadaverous Bloom. This deck loops off with multiple instances of Gaea's Touch and Early Harvest, so permanently ditching lands for anti-synergy with both on a card that costs 5 mana is a big no-go. Also makes the deck far more susceptible to being interrupted, meanwhile I can recover pretty easily in the current setup if a turn gets disrupted.
As for the original topic, City of Solitude is a card I totally forgot about, I also recently remembered Choke, so I'll be sure to pick up some of those.
4 Green Sun's Zenith
4 Gaea's Touch
3 Early Harvest
4 Elephant Grass
4 Enchantress Presence
4 Wild Growth
4 Utopia Sprawl
4 Abundant Growth
4 Rofello's Gift
2 Gaea's Blessing
2 Song of Dryads
2 Argothian Enchantress
1 Grapeshot
1 Emrakul, the aeons torn
I like to swap out card for neat little sideboard stuff like Elixer of Vitality and Sphere of Safety. I got another Green Storm deck that ups the Early Harvest and Argothian Enchantress count and opts out of the Green Sun's Zenith package and uses 2 Hunting packs for the win instead of Emrakul and Grapeshot/Tendrils. Its a good deck in a creature heavy meta as long as no Counter-Top players are there =P
I dont think you should replace the abundant growths, but you really do need sprawl in there. Its another 1 mana aura, and it gives you more mana, color mana at that. It needs to be in the deck. It is strictly better than Fertile Ground, so at the very least you can do an even swap. I don't think you need 4 green sun's zeniths, so maybe play with those numbers so you can get 1-2 Fertile Ground to stay in the deck?
Fertile Ground can change its mana on a whim, Utopia Sprawl can't. There's a lot of times when playing this I'll need double Green for dropping Early Harvest, or multiple Gaea's Touch before having to sacrifice them, and then later on in the combo I can switch the mana over to Black or Red without disrupting any part of the combo. It's very common to end the combo by tapping a land that's enchanted with 2 Wild Growth, 1 Abundant Growth, and 1 Fertile Ground to make BBGG for a lethal Tendrils of Agony, and that Fertile Ground has been Green pretty much the whole time prior. The deck already goes off on turn 3~4 ~85% of the time with my current build which is why, again, I'm not worrying about the main board and certainly do not NEED Utopia Sprawl. The only change I might make to go with the Green Sun's Zeniths is to cut a Forest for a Dryad Arbor to make it more consistent to win on turn 3 than 4. Also, Green Sun's Zenith fills 2 massive niches. It allows me to effectively run 8 copies of Argothian Enchantress, and I can pop it for 0 later on if I'm on the brink of getting the infinite loop going to make sure I don't kill myself overdrawing 1-too-many cards because of Argothian Enchantress, Enchantress's Presence, and Abundant Growth, all being mandatory triggers. If it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Utopia Sprawl is indeed a must. I would also suggest Eladamri's Vineyard.
