Consistency improvements —March 16, 2017
Custom Categories have been added so that you can see the breakdown of the deck. A few more minor changes to improve the consistency of the deck:
Rampaging Baloths ---> Rishkar's Expertise : I found the baloths performed too slowly for the deck. It often was a fairly dead card. Rishkar's Expertise is crazy in the deck when copied even if Wort is the biggest creature (usually the case)
Skullclamp - - - >Faithless Looting : I thought that skullclamp would be a no-brainer in here. However, it's actually quite rare that I had 1/1 tokens sitting around for Sacrificing. Most of the time I want those tokens to conspire. Faithless looting as a sorcery synergizes with the theme and allows me to cycle through my deck
Red Sun's Zenith - - - >Fall of the Titans : I want my burn spells to be in my grave and not in my library so that I can recast them. The surge cost is very easy to pay in this deck. The fact it's an instant is a nice little bonus
Rootbound Crag + Mountain - - - > Myriad Landscape + Blighted Woodland : the deck can't get enough ramp and landfall. It's absolutely critical to pull out as many lands as possible.
Credit to crowned for some of these suggestions.
Also looking for room to fit in Past in Flames for more graveyard shenanigans but can't find a spot yet

crowned, glad you're liking the deck!
I agree with you that increasing vengeance is better than reverberate. I'll throw it back in.
I've thought about Myriad landscape and Blighted Woodland. The deck needs a ton of basic lands though. Maybe I could swap out another non basic.
If you like mega ramping decks, you may like my Kynaios and Tiro, Lovers of Landfall deck

Build the deck myself, gotta say it's quite fun to play - still have to manage politics a bit though, since this deck is causing aggro.A few suggestions I have: Add Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland - these are ramp cards, that are not wasted before wort is in play, they are permanents that you can recurr and they can also be used as additional landfall triggers, when a finisher of yours is in play.Earthquake, while not being an instant boardwipe as Starstorm, which you put in recently, has the ability to still kill all non flyers, but also as an additional finisher. You need to have more life than anybody else on the table, but heck, it would be another value card IMO.
Firecat Blitz, Nissa's Pilgrimage, Decimate I approve of, however I wouldn't cut Increasing Vengeance yet, since you increased the count of spells that are worth copying with the last update. I have also noticed that it's worse than Reverberate, however it can be used for looting and played as a finisher from your GY at instant speed - great utility!
