Haste When Craterhoof Behemoth enters the battlefield, creatures you control gain trample and get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of creatures you control.

Craterhoof Behemoth ends games.
Vorapede can really wreck people.
It depends on your format to be honest.
Green Ringleader
Craterhoof Behemoth is a good finisher. Usually ends the game the turn it drops.
Good 'Ol Craterhoof
It seems to me like you need to majorly redo your deck to increase its speed and lower CMC.
First off, if you want some big drops to ramp for, drop Elderscale Wurm and Reaper from the Abyss and replace with two Craterhoof Behemoth . Unless your opponent saved instant speed removal, you should pretty much win the game.
Secondly, drop Lotleth Troll for Strangleroot Geist . He can attack right away, which makes a huge difference, and will return stronger without you having to add counters to him.
Next, drop Varolz, two Corpsejack Menace , and one Champion of Lambholt and add a fourth Strangleroot and a playset of Vampire Nighthawk , which will help you deal with flying threats, act as removal and a life gain source.
Lastly, drop all of your counter spells and add in two more Rancor and two more Predator Ooze . Your deck will now be much more solid and fast and not so susceptible to flyers with the addition of the Nighthawk.
Mayael the Chubby Chaser
Novablast Wurm is the only Board wipey thing in my deck, and maximizes his utility when Avacyn, Angel of Hope is out. That's pretty narrow, but happens frequently enough. I'll keep an eye on him though to take out for Garruk. Aura Shards is reusable, and in EDH utility/long term effect are important as games tend to last longer than regular games. Also it can act as instant speed removal with Mayael's ability or Quicksilver Amulet . Just a tid bit of info, I love removal!
Garruk I like, and I'm excited to see the new one. Overrun on the other hand is a onetime use effect, that in EDH may not win the game.
Sun Titan is here because I have
And others run removal ;D.
Inferno Titan was in here, but Craterhoof Behemoth is getting a try-out. Lastly and this is the most painful, Primeval Titan is banned in EDH. Thanks for the input, I'll be eyeing Novablast Wurm for removal over the next week or two.
Fibonacci Elves
Kaitoghost Thank you for the suggestions. For fetch lands, Land Grant and Elvish Spirit Guide tend to do a really good job at preventing any possible mulligans. As far as adding Gaea's Cradle , it really is overkill. By the time I get the card into play, it's usually not even needed, since the elves themselves are generating a TON of mana. I like the suggestion of Green Sun's Zenith . I may try putting a couple in. As far as Craterhoof Behemoth , he will go into my sideboard. The beauty part of the Living Wish is I can pull any card I desire from the sideboard, hence why there are so many big creatures in it.
Fibonacci Elves
You need fetch lands, and a couple more Gaia's Cradle. Green Sun's Zenith instead of Summoner's Pact. And a Craterhoof Behemoth or 2.
Token it Up
Give Wild Beastmaster and Elder of Laurels a shot to turn puny creatures in to giant ones. And with that general you cant go wrong with Craterhoof Behemoth
