On second thought, I think I could throw the Reaper of the Wilds 's in the sideboard, add another Karametra's Acolyte , and also add 2 Prognostic Sphinx 's...

i think it's a mistake to not have 4 Elvish Mystic in this deck. without them (or something else) you have no turn 1 card to play... most especially in a ramp deck, having 3 mana on turn 2 and 5-6 mana on turn 3 is critical.

dyelynn- I see what you're saying, but most of the time I wouldn't be drawing the mystic to use on turn 1, and I do NOT want to be drawing into it late-game. It's more worthwhile to me to ensure I have a turn 2 play (and anyways, Sylvan Caryatid provides a hexproof blocker that can tap for any mana, and Voyaging Satyr can help me tap for double mana colors and even untap a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx for an extra bump in mana). I know it doesn't sound true, but I can consistently get 5, 6, even 7 or 8 mana turn 4, and cast an early Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Kiora, the Crashing Wave , or a Garruk, Apex Predator . I was hoping to add in the Prognostic Sphinx 's to give me power in the air and even more card advantage to go through my deck even faster and more consistently.

nyctophasm & BattleWalrus- What would you guys say to maybe taking out the 3x Reaper of the Wilds and putting them in the sideboard? That way, I could add another Karametra's Acolyte in for ramping, and 2x Prognostic Sphinx 's for not only air power and removal resistance, but also for card advantage!

I'd have to toy with the mana base a bit, but I already have 4x Temple of Enlightenment , and we would have the possibility of taking advantage of more blue and white cards if we felt like it later.

I also can't stress enough that Prognostic Sphinx does not require you to leave mana open for it's abilities, and it also does not die to Elspeth, Sun's Champion 's minus 3 board-wipe ability!

You need to get a color out of here. It's just waaaaayyyy to clunky in the mana section. I would say cut out white. You'll be fine without Elspeth and Banishing Light. Get the white out.

Kiora's Follower over Voyaging Satyr it helps with Karametra's Acolyte better than using voyaging saytr for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Splash red for Generator Servant , an sacrifice him for Genesis Hydra then you have a 15/15 haste, or a 18/18 haste. Add Nylea, God of the Hunt to get your fix of trample. But overall +1.Absolutely nothing better than Hydras.

I think it needs Elvish Mystics, Courser of Kruphix, Thoughtseize and Hero's Downfall, to ensure Planeswalkers's Game, accelerate and defense. Finish kill with Garruk Apex or Elspeth
