If the deck plays like Legacy Elves, maybe you should try
Glimpse of Nature.
More than likely ill throw a couple
Beast Whisperers onto my next order instead.

Patron of the Orochi - seems expensive for the effect
Instill Energy - lets you get 2 for 1'd
Nature's Chosen - lets you get 2 for 1'd
Patron allows me to reset... almost everything. Selvala,
Priest of Titania,
Seeker of Skybreak, and similar. Just the
Quirion Ranger and
Wirewood Lodge types get missed. Also, by the time pay to double
Hero’s Bane once, the untap pays for itself. As for the other two, I’m willing to risk it for one drops.

If you remove some the redundant combo pieces and put in more reactive spells the deck would goldfish less and be more interactive. Beast Within and Krosan Grip come to mind first.
Also,
Heroic Intervention could help you protect the combo.
At one level, the lack of reactive spells is a choice. I’m wary of playing a version of this deck that CAN protect itself effectively, because it’s already so blindingly fast and powerful. Passing turn on T5 with a 256/256 because no haste enablers are online and getting blown out by a Wrath is fine. On a different level, a deck that can and does combo off on T5 cares less about protecting itself than one playing for a long game.
That said, more interaction is often good in itself. I’ll have to see whether I feel I can work in a few spells. The two you mentioned would definitely be at the top of that list.

Space, largely. The rest fell away due to not enough impact in the extreme early game where this deck likes to play. T1 Burgeoning is as good or better than a T1 Llanowar Elf, in terms of ramp. After Selvala hits the table, an extra land here or there won't even be noticeable.
