I can drop an 8/8 for 3 mana with Miming Slime, which is why it's in there. Her biggest use is for the card draw, which, as I said, I don't feel like I need. The ONLY benefit I think she gives is that I could pull the +1/+1 counters off of her with Bioshift and throw them on something else, but I think her cost outweighs this. I'll play around with the idea, though. Thanks for the input.EDIT: Somehow this ended up at the top of the list, instead of after your last reply.

I'll consider that. I don't really like Prime Speaker, though. I have a decent amount of draw power (especially if I end up adding Fathom Mage) and Prime Speaker is a little expensive for what it does, in my opinion.
I'll try dropping the Snapjaws for Fathom Mages. I was beginning to think they were too situational anyway.My thinking on Spell Rupture was early on when I have low power creatures, my opponent also won't have a lot of mana, meaning even if X is only 3, that's usually more than they'll have. Later on, X can be a pretty large number. I think saving the one mana on my end is really helpful. I'll try it with Cancel, though.As for creatures with undying, which would you suggest? I kind of like Strangleroot Geist, but it seems like the only one that would really benefit this deck. And what would I drop for it?
Your biggest problem is that you have too many one-offs. I would drop Creakwood Liege, Wurmcoil Engine, and Sangromancer, a forest, and a swamp for an Engulfing Slagwurm, a 2 Grave Shell Scarab, and 2 Terastodon. Creakwood doesn't have a good enough ability to take up the space. Sangromancer is basically pointless in an aggro deck. Wurmcoil is only really good for blocking, and you shouldn't worry too much about that in an aggro. You have too many lands, even for land ramp. I would also drop Hellkite, maybe for Godspeaker,
I might consider Golem's Heart, but I think it would mainly just take up space. Sanctum's Gargoyle would be nice to tech in, but I don't have the room for it. It would let me pull out a Salvaging Station from the Graveyard if I needed to though...Ugh, I hate these kind of decisions. I might drop grinding station for it. When I put it in I think I was planning on putting Myr Propogator in...Now it's looking like it would be too situational.
Ah, I see. I also just realised that I've been thinking Fetcches brought lands in tapped for some reason...Not sure why. Personally though, I wouldn't run them in here just because burn decks are about speed, so you shouldn't have to worry about late game. But that's just me.
Thanks, I like that. I'm not sure what to drop for him though...I might just throw three of them in.
I don't understand what Arid Mesa or Wooded Foothills are doing in here. You don't appear to have anything with landfall, so you're basically wasting a land on one that can't add mana, plus you lose a life. In my opinion it would be better to drop them and add either basic mountains or Dormant Volcano. Other than that it's pretty good.
I added in an extra Aristocrat (they're better than Bloodthrone in my oppinion) but I'm gonna keep my Beetles the same. They benefit the most from all the sacrificing.
Hmm...interesting idea. Personally, I don't like the idea of turning my forests into islands, since Omnath only powers up with green mana. Sure, you gain that back with Carpet of Flowers, but only if you're opponent has a lot of lands out. If he has out only three, you're screwed. However, I can definitely see that strategy working in an Eldrazi deck. You're right about the lands though. Not sure why I didn't drop down the forests when I added in the islands.
I'm considering dropping Roughrider for a Shortcutter and an Instigator.
I don't want to throw in Mind Funeral because they're not Standard legal. Roil elemental, though...I might throw out a couple of lotus cobras for those.
Not so much forgot as just wasn't sure whether or not to throw them in. This deck hinges on being able to get the cards out that I need. Those are just extra cards that get in the way of that.
Can just say: Dang... This deck is mean. The only thing is, how do you get out Sprouting Thrinax without red mana?
This is similar to an Omnath deck I was running. I don't really see any reason to have Wolfbriar in there, though. I'd drop them for Joraga Treespeaker.
Thanks for the advice. I'll consider it all and update later. Offhand, I'd say I'd rather not kick Terramorphic because it gives me a double landfall. I never even thought about Nibblers, but I have no idea why. I'll most likely drop Vamps for them. I've thought about Ob Nixilis, but I don't have him and I have no way of getting him. As to everything else, I'll have to see what I have, what I can get, and whether or not it works well.
