My main concern with the deck is that it may be TOO passive. You're not playing to your color's strenghts: ramp, fatties and removal. Your commander is cool, but there is no need to focus on it exclusively.

First up, Run all three Primordials for your color. All three are good and 2 of them benefit from your commander (plus they are cheap).

Grab Mortify Putrefy and Unmake. From there, pick up some cheap mass removal like Life's Finale

My final comment is that you need more lands, you do not have enough ramp to justify 35 lands. Check my profile, I have a cheap doran/Teneb deck in progress

    Alexi, you are just too hairy for magic, shave the goatee and then you can talk.
    
    (plus potestas' advice isn't bad advice)

      It's good advice to make the deck good... not fun and this is far and away from the final version I'm going to play, I already have a giant sideboard of cards and lots of options to play around with and there are cards I've decided to take out before the cards have even arrived.

    Very well
