Zoo for the nth time (Highlander)

A friend of mine wanted to participate in a highlander tournament this Saturday so I started looking for cards that would be in the deck he would play. I tried building a zoo highlander in the past and I wasn't really successful with it. So I took the cards from it and tried a new one. The problem with the previous version was that I had too many little creatures that could hardly affect the game later. After playing with my dark bant for a while I decided to go in a similar way - little bit of acceleration and aim for creatures that are stellar or do something good. I discarded all the 2/2 and 2/1 creatures and replaced those with something bigger or producing mana on T2 and I cut down the number of instants and sorceries. I added walkers though. Wildspeaker and Elspeth were always good. But Garruk Primal Hunter and Garruk Relentless were cards I did not consider good till I actually played with them. I prefer Garruk Relentless than Sorin, Lord of Innistrad and Primal Hunter proved to be really good against in my ramp. All of them should be playable in this deck.
