Omnath Ramp deck that wins by big beats and direct damage!

This deck is focused on hitting landfall after Omnath enters the battlefield. As such, I have more lands than you normally find in a typical EDH deck. The early game is dedicated to ramping so you can have Omnath out as early as possible, while you drop powerful, synergistic enchantments that either double your free 5/5 tokens, draw cards, or hit hard with ETB damage. The creatures give additional land drops each turn or allow me to play lands from the GY, an addition to other synergistic landfall/token abilities. This deck is capable of explosive starts, and I've won on turn 4-5 before in 1v1 games. It's also able to win in tough tables since people don't often counter spells that search up lands as there's so much redundancy where those spells are concerned. This deck is a fun deck that wins in a variety of ways, which gives it great replay value and is great in 4 player games as well as 1v1. It's obviously not cEDH, but is a strong contender at any table.

Updates Add

I have had a few changes in the works that I've finally gotten around to implementing in the deck. I've added Field of the Dead as a utility land since this is a ramp deck that can search for a variety of lands. Adding the snow-covered basics and Dryad Arbor enables FotD more easily, and gives the deck a back-up plan for the low opportunity cost of a land slot. With that addition, I'm able to cut Sylvan Awakening and add Green Sun's Zenith as an additional creature tutor/ramp spell with Dryad Arbor. While the main game plan is still to create tokens with omnath and swing in or burn opponents out, FotD makes Craterhoof more consistent if something happens to disrupt Omnath. FotD also improves Purphoros, God of the Forge which I found can be lackluster if Omnath doesn't hit the table very quickly, as well as Terror of the Peaks and Warstorm Surge. It also synergizes with Ancient Greenwarden, Doubling Season, Parallel Lives, and the sac outlets Goblin Bombardment and Ashnod's Altar.

After talking with other Omnath players, Nahiri's Lithoforming has been proven to be sub-optimal. Other card drawing spells are generally better, but with the direction this build of the deck is going I'm going to try replacing it with Fiery Emancipation. If this card resolves it should be able to assure burning opponents out consistently if they wrath with Omnath in play, and the additional damage from FotD and the Omnath tokens in combination with the other etb damage cards should give me more inevitability against controlling decks.

Finally, due to the recent slew of reserved list buyouts, I've come to the realization that I'll likely never bother getting a Wheel of Fortune, so I'm going to try out the new Wheel of Misfortune for additional card draw. If it's bad, there are other options but it should be fun testing it out at the very least.
