** Update - Sept. 1, 2013 **

Switching from casual to more competitive.

So I'm trying to incorporate a couple of combos to make this deck more competitive for my local shops EDH night. Going infinite isn't particularly frowned upon due to the format we play; usually 8 players for one long game in which we can only pick off the player to our right, and only one player per turn. I've got a couple of ideas in mind, but I need some help in fine tuning the focus of the deck and what I have to include.

After going through my stash of cards, I have a few things available to push me towards some win cons. Grand Architect and pila-pala, Paradise Mantle , Training Grounds and the aforementioned Pila-Pala; both combos providing me infinite colored mana, which I can then pump into Blue Sun's Zenith which is already in my mainboard to kill off one player, or Braingeyser , which I have laying around. I have a Knacksaw Clique that I can use infinite mana for to mill out a player, provided I have the Grand Architect in play, but I'm not sure if it's worth running due to rather circumstansial requirements. Otherwise, I have a Worldly Tutor , a Merchant Scroll , and a Spellskite that might be worth sneaking in too.

Any suggestions about what would be worth swapping, if anything, would be greatly appreciated.

**Original Description**

Nothing super special, no infinite loops cause I hate playing against that ish, but I can generally draw a pretty huge chunk of my deck without too much difficulty. Pretty straight forward ramping/drawing boost for a huge Omnath, Locus of Mana or Primordial Hydra into Prime Speaker Zegana and drawing everything I might need to finish off my opponents and attack with a buffed general. I've found that Gyre Sage, Master Biomancer, and Seedborn Muse do wonders for getting Zegana enormous by turn 6.
