This is effectively my OmnathxNissa deck that has been swapped around and altered to work with that Elemental tribal sub-theme, but also ramp into some pretty big beat-sticks.

Malignus works amazingly well, making it 40/40 beater with Xenagos and taking out the unsuspecting player, or giving it trample. Berserk is also in as a neat combat trick. Putrefax is a great OTK, dealing 10 infect damage with Xenagos.

Land base is fairly simple, nothing too fancy and it makes use of all lands that enter untapped (because tempo play), so I've missed out on scrylands, bouncelands and fastlands.

The better deck description — June 27, 2016

Edit

So, the original deck description was pretty whimsical, and I've also made a few additions since.

Firstly, in the ramp department I've added a Thran Dynamo because Gilded Lotus is 1 mana too much to cast, and having some extra colourless mana isn't a bad thing. Vernal Bloom is also in the deck. While Heartbeat of Spring costs less to cast and doubles all forms of mana, it aids your opponents more. Vernal Bloom only helps green mana, and since the deck is predominantly green, it's fine. I've chosen to skip out on other forms of instant/sorcery ramp such as Kodama's Reach and Explosive Vegetation just so I can get value out of an eventual Genesis Wave. Instead,I'm using Sakura Tribe Elder, Wood elves and such as utility creatures.

Next, OHKs. Malignus is a brilliant one-turn kill if the opponent has no blockers. Otherwise, pair with Nylea, and with Xenagos's ability, it becomes a hard hitter. Putrefax too, is another one-turn kill. It can also be brought back by eternal witness for more shenaningans. (In one game I Summoner's Pact for an E-wit to recur a Putrefax and won the game)

The deck lacked fliers originally, so Hellkite Tyrant is there for utility and as a token flier. Atarka's command gets around flying decks by giving my big creaures reach.

I think the whole card draw issue is now fixed, and I'm currently testing out the usefulness of a Howling Mine. I might replace it and run Primal Rage instead, as that enables trample on all my creatures, which is a more powerful effect for this deck

Lay of the Land is in there because the deck doesn't reach delirium enough to consistently net the use out of Traverse the Ulwenwald, and it's foil. And pretty.
