Innistrad coming out soon, that means Zendikar block will be gone and my overgrown-battlements will be deeply missed. I need some help/suggestions on replacements and possibly any other improvements that need to be made.
Check the decklist i posted in the original, i already run Birds, Solemns and metamorph. Emissaries are what i'm leaning towards at the moment, i can play aggressive or throw them in front of something pesky.

So far, those are the only cards I can think of that allow you to ramp up, aside from Sphere of the Suns . I'm hoping the next set(s) will bring in a couple more options.

I run Viridian Emissary and have to say, I like it. One of two things always (or almost always) happens. You recklessly swing with it hoping to have it get blocked for the ramp and you get the ramp. Or, you recklessly swing and your opponent takes the damage not wanting to give you your ramp.
Most people who won't block right away, will take three or four hits and then go, "Fine, have your ramp", once they're down to 12 or 14 life. it's win win.

I'm toying with the idea of splashing white to go Naya with innistrad, Sun Titan could do some serious work combined with the right cards

You can't really do any planning based on Innistrad until you've played with the cards unfortunately. You can look at what Zendikar stuff is leaving, and look and see if anything that'll still be standard make sense as a replacement. But without any of the Innistrad stuff being played, you don't know how they'll work out or how the meta will sort itself out either.

i know, im just working with ideas for now. I don't play too much of the meta game anyways, i like to counter it with rogue decks.

Birds of Paradise , Viridian Emissary , Solemn Simulacrum , Rites of Flourishing , Rampant Growth .
Phyrexian Metamorph can also copy your creatures; if you want to be tricky, use Liquimetal Coating and you can make a copy of whatever you want (including Rites of Flourishing).
