Frontier Siege and Karametra's Acolyte could possibly speed up the mana ramp.... adds 2 mana each main phase.(use or lose between phase shift.. but still)

I wouldn't go with Primal Surge, as you'd have to sac a creature for it and most of your sacable creatures tap for mana. If you're not going to pay the kicker, go with Cultivate. You could also use something like Greenweaver Druid. Maybe consider the same for Basalt Monolith? Primal Surge might also be fun since you have so few non-permanents.

Sorry, meant Primal Growth that first time

I thought the same thing at first, but after testing Nissa's Pilgrimage (similar to Cultivate) ended up going with Primal Growth because the land comes into play untapped. So if I have a Fyndhorn Elves, Elvish Mystic, or Llanowar elves in my hand and use one of these to play Primal growth then I can pay the kicker and use the extra land to play another creature same turn.

Example:
starting hand - 2 forest, 3 one cost mana generating creatures, Primal growth, and Giant Adephage.

Turn 1 - play forest, play Llanowar Elves
Turn 2 - play forest, play Primal Growth (sacrifice Llanowar Elves for kicker) to play 2 forests (untapped), play 2 more Llanowar Elves
Turn 3 - play forest (you may draw another forest by now), play Giant Adephage

In this scenario I'm able to play a 7 cost creature on turn 3, but wouldn't if I had Cultivate or Nissa's Pilgrimage instead of Primal Growth.

Primal Growth also makes it easier to play Panglacial Wurm from the deck than Cultivate or Nissa's Pilgrimage since the forest comes into play untapped.
