You only have 10 creatures in the deck and 9 of them cost 4cc+.
I'd go BG to give you access to some decent creatures at 3cc and even some decent first and 2nd turn plays. Also gives you access to 2 more sources of acceleration to get to your 4cc and 5cc cards (llanowar, rampant, mind stone).
Plus if you play green, you get access to 2 more mana fixers for a total of 3 (rampant, civic, terramorphic expanse). This will allow you to splash another color with only 2 (maybe even 1?) off-color basic lands. You could splash blue for aven fisher and snapping drake, or white for pacifism, maybe benalish knights and windborn muse.
You don't need to play mind rot or splash counsel since you have 2 nekrataal, 2 kavu climber, graveborn muse, civic (and aven fisher if you splash blue) all of which net you card advantage while accomplishing something else as well. Not to mention cantrips like 2 afflict and recover. Even mind stone won't cost you a card.
I'd cut highway robber too since there are better creature options in your green. Your high number of creature removal evens lets you play hunted wumpus with less risk than usual :P
