I want the fastest mama ramp.

My idea is to ramp fast and be able to play mainly X cost spells for a ton. I want to play animist awakening and get all the mana in my deck with one fell swoop. Play fireball or other X cost to possibly win or even something crazy like door of destiny or the mana maze that depends on getting out all the gates. Any ideas our help would be awesome.
That was something I was worried about. My best idea was defender ramp and then anamist awakening to fetch the rest of the mana out of the deck.

Well, the easiest way to ramp would be to use either the Tron lands (Urza's Tower) or using Arbor Elf and Voyaging Satyr with Utopia Sprawl and Overgrowth. You could also use the elves deck, but then you would just be making a strictly worse elf deck.
I would also recommend Genesis Wave over Animist's Awakening.

the maze deck and a super ramp deck look very different, because the maze needs to tap per gate. that one wants a turbo-fog shell and doesn't seem good in a format littered with ghost quarters and blood moons.
heavy mana ramp into x spells you probably want green with arbor elves and things that let your forests tap for multiple mana at a time, though I see it having the same fault of beign weak to ghost quarters in a meta that is just covered in people playing ghost quarter. scapeshift ramps really hard but it's a combo kill off of the shift instead of a kill off of an x spell.
