With a CMC so low you could probably go down a land or two and add Abzan Falconer mainboard. He's a huge win con for a deck like this. Let your creatures build up counters, drop in Falconer and alpha strike for the win.

Cutting lands isn't the way to go. I never have too much, there's a lot to spend it on. The only thing I'm considering cutting now is the fourth Endless One and fourth Murder Investigation

Don't really have time to look at the decklist, but +1 for the name! XD

Is Gaea's Revenge really great against much? The 5 toughness seems like it will just trade for something like Dragonlord Ojutai. People seem to be playing cards that get around hexproof. It seems dangerous to count on a game getting to 7 lands, control decks are usually in a very good position by then. I like my new sideboard against control. Just get in there fast and overwhelm them with too many cheap creatures. Maybe adding a lot of giant un-counterable threats to the sideboard would work really well, idk.

I saw Dragonlord Dromoka in your maybes, but I'd suggest Dromoka, the Eternal instead. The Bolster 2 ability is strong in Abzan Counters, plus she costs less.

I've considered Dromoka, the Eternal, it couldn't go in the main board. With my Evolutionary Leap strategy even one expensive creature can break the reliability of it all. I was thinking about adding some big creatures to the side board for games that go longer, but I decided against that in favor of an overwhelming number of low cost threats.

I've found that it's not actually that valuable to add cards that primarily put counters on creatures. Dromoka, the Eternal comes with a 5/5 flying body, but still it's not really good enough.

Fair enough; that makes sense.

Undergrowth Champion? Just a thought, I've really been enjoying my build of this deck and it seems it might fit!

So the pro's finally caught on to this deck idea, it was apparently all over the last GP. - external article link

Their maindeck is one of my sideboard strategies
