Here is the deck I built around Omnath...
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/landfall-to-your-death/
Sword of the Animist was in my build and I found it just ok. There are enough ramp spells in your deck to open up that slot for something else...
You have very little removal .... Chaos Warp, Beast Within, and Fissure would be good additions.

This deck is very similar to my own, even down to the elemental theme. I fucking love Omnath! A few suggestions would be Doubling Season and Where Ancients Tread. The Doubling Season is self-explanatory and Where Ancients Tread gives you another damage outlet and is synergistic to the deck theme and Warstorm Surge

I second Doubling Season. Also Wasteland is strictly better than Tectonic Edge, but if you're into land destruction then I'd run both. Speaking of which, Mizzium Mortars + Natural Affinity is a fun set-up to the finish that I use in my Omnath, Ramp & Rain deck. But I'm not sure if you want to stray towards the dark side of a land destruction focus.

Willmsy, Gooter, and Lost_Ascendant, thanks for the recommendations. Doubling Season is a possibility but I will most likely substitute Primal Vigor in instead because I am not sure of keeping Nissa in the deck. Wasteland seems to pricey for now at least. I may remove Sword of the Animist because I could put in something better. When it comes to removal I plan to use my creatures as removal. Where Ancients Tread will be added, once I find a card to remove. I will think of that combo for doing some land destruction. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Fetch lands work really well with omnath, especially if you run crucible. 4/5 panoramas are useable in omnath colors, myriad landscape is another good one

With all due respect. Primal Vigor is crap. The problem is that it effects are useable by all players. This is not something you want to give people. Doubling season is the same thing for the same cost, but only effects you.
Fetch lands are also a must in this deck. Cards like Myriad Landscape are decent, but slow the deck down for 2 reasons. 1 they enter tapped and 2 it costs mana to activate the search effect.
Additional cards you should consider. Nissa, Vastwood Seer is a perfect fit for this deck. Also Remove Tectonic Edge and put in Ghost Quarters. Because Ghost Quarters can give you a double trigger with Titania out and a third trigger from Omnath if you target your own land. You might also want to consider Burgeoning and Mana Bonds and Life From the Loom.

This is also in serious need of way more Lotus Cobra.
Semi infinite combi that just says i kill you with Omnath + Perilous Forays + Lotus Cobra.

Use Forgotten Ancient in addition to or replacement of Taurean Mauler for either: A. Multiplayer games B. Omnath death trigger or C. Good 'ole flavor.
Made this account just to mention it.

The only reason to run Primal Vigor is if you are also running Doubling Season and you want to stack their effects. Since you are also running Parallel Lives, you'd be getting 8 elemental tokens for each Omnath landfall trigger, which can offset the negative effects of Primal Vigor helping your opponents too.
As it stands, you are only getting 4 tokens per trigger AND your opponents are getting 2 for every 1 if they have any token-producing effects.
So unless it's a budget concern, Doubling Season is strictly better than Primal Vigor, and you should only run both, or only Doubling Season.

Hey I love the deck and theme. I have been thinking about making one like this. Since you have Scapeshift you should run Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle also.

Honestly man this deck is so great! it looks like its sooo much fun to play with out not having too much fun ending the game too fast. I was looking for ways to make this deck my own but you nailed it! in change like 5-10 percent of the cards to make it personal but just good job bud!

Odin22 Thanks alot I really appreciate the support I love this deck it is my baby my go to deck when friends want to play.
Praise.the.sun I have thought about it and it is a good card and does have a place in the deck for sure just not really sure where my group has a lot of removal so I will add it at some point.

Thanks man, Dark Souls kinda ruined other games for me. haha. I see what you mean about Asceticism, especially with the lack of recursion for enchantments. What do you think about cards like Second Harvest and Parallel Evolution for the deck?

Also, that spoiler "Stunning Regrowth" from Eldrich Moon looks pretty promising.

Praise.the.sun, Second Harvest I have and bought for this deck just I have had second thoughts about adding it. It could be useful as a surprise blocker card or surprise extra 3 damage kinda thing and I will probably add it. Parallel Evolution is good but I think I would put in seconded harvest for the instant speed usage. Stunning regrowth is good but I think Crucible of Worlds is a version of it that last longer but is slower if I take out one I may put in the other I will look into it though.
I know all about those dark souls probs most of my days are spent pvping

Hey it's been a while! I've had a chance to play Omnath rage tokens quite a few times now and I was wondering how you felt about Purphoros, God of the Forge? I know he isn't a elemental but he seems like he'd fit right in with all the token generators in the deck. Avenger of Zendikar with him on the field. lol GG boys.

Praise.the.sun Yeah sup, I have not really thought of him but he could very easily be a game winner.

Might I suggest From the Ashes, this will work well with Titana, Protector of Argoth. You will also be able to play your lands again with Crucible of Worlds and Ramunap Excavator.

killbobbuilder Yes, that is a great edition I will attempt to find a card to remove to add it, do you see any? kinda thinking I have to many tutors but then again I feel I can't have to many tutors
AlmondReport says... #1
Gooter, that is the card is good now but before I had no way to play lands from my grave that is the only reason that wasn't in the deck. It will be added
