Squee_Spirit_Guide I love this. I think I'll always be a Timmy or Johnny at heart, because it puts a little personality into it for me.
On the topic of card frames, I personally love to see a lot of overlap; like newer cards such as Ignoble Hierarch and Baral, Chief of Compliance that got retro frames. Even stuff like Gaea's Herald that has had multiple arts, I wish we could see more reprisal where we get the older art.. in a newer frame. Good little break to remind me of how far magic has come in terms of development seeing this put together.

They're good suggestions. I just prefer the Gaea's Herald spells can't be countered cuz it can protect walking ballista and heliod and stoneforge Mystic. And for one mana more it's never really a problem.
I'm too afraid to give everyone else at the table haste so I prefer to use Thousand-Year Elixir.
And The druid is good but I feel that I get more Mana through the creatures themselves. I'm sure there's a couple that it can definitely help with but not enough that I think it's needed for the deck.
Chord of Calling really just gets heliod because Walking Ballista would just die when it hits the field

You're going to want things that guarentee your creatures hit the battlefield.

I actually made an entire deck around this concept that works surprisingly well. Steve Argyle is a particularly great resource for this topic. In addition to Liliana of the Veil and Chosen of Markov Flip, he's also done Deadly Allure , Guul Draz Vampire , Naya Battlemage , and Night Revelers . Other notable artists are Jason Chan ( Deathpact Angel , Fires of Undeath , Kiora, Master of the Depths , Mayael the Anima , Maul Splicer , Treasured Find ) and Volkan Baga ( Elspeth, Knight-Errant , Korozda Gorgon , Stoic Angel , Student of Warfare ). I ended up going with vampires + knights and some other cards I included are Hero of Bladehold , Knight Exemplar , Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts , Elenda, the Dusk Rose , and possibly the most ridiculous piece of Magic art ever created: Soul Collector . Some cards that came close to making the cut are Angel of Despair , Bloodflow Connoisseur , Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief , Knight of Dusk , Magister of Worth , Avacyn, Angel of Hope , Vampire Hexmage , and Veteran Cavalier .
Other cards that I like (sorted by type) include Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch , Lyzolda, the Blood Witch , Kemba, Kha Regent , Sunspear Shikari , Elvish Champion , Gaea's Herald , Quirion Dryad , Nimbus Naiad , Dreamborn Muse , Mistral Singer , Shipwreck Singer , Siren of the Fanged Coast , Akroma, Angel of Wrath , Archangel of Strife , Basandra, Battle Seraph , Razia, Boros Archangel , and Ire Shaman . Looking at this list now, it's clear I've spent far too much time researching this subject.

Wonder if you want Destiny Spinner over Gaea's Herald? It's got a bigger booty and you might occasionally use the activated ability. Also, some of the spell-lands in the new set might fit the deck well: Turntimber Symbiosis Flip and Bala Ged Recovery Flip especially!
Great looking deck!

LeaPlath thanks for the feedback. I totally agree on Destiny Spinner. Cheap card to get one if I don't already have it and just a better version of Gaea's Herald.
On Field of the Dead, I'll be honest, I've kept it out of the deck simply for flavor/card design consistency. I run 21 Godzilla forests. It's true, the deck might win a bit more, play more competitively, etc., but those Godzilla lands just look so pretty and that sounds very much like a social EDH decision to me :). I am running enough utility I could probably still run it if there's something else I decide to pull.
Scavenger Grounds needs to be in every deck. Still struggling to decide what to pull out

Based on my first impression of the deck list:
I am not sure about things like Gargos, Vicious Watcher and Apex Altisaur in the deck...Gargos wants spells that target him and you play 7. Altisaur wants to be delt damage, and if you're wasting your fight triggers on that, it feels kind of bad (especially since you're not playing many). That goes double for Stuffy Doll.
I would shy away from Sakura-Tribe Elder in a deck that can force a fight on an ETB. Sylvan Ranger and Wood Elves are good replacements. That's something to consider for a lot of your creatures.
You're not gonna like this, but your hardcore focus on 'can't be countered' effects is a bit much. They're super narrow and not as helpful as you think. Most blue decks even play other colors that those cards will do nothing against, or even play relatively few counterspells in total. That slot is then wasted against a.) all your other opponents and b.) 90% of the blue deck. If you really want that style of effect, instead of Gaea's Herald and Destiny Spinner (who don't save your big non-creature spells from counters), I would run the much more versatile Veil of Summer and Red Elemental Blast/ Pyroblast instead.
Finally, I'm not seeing much to force combat. Effects like Nemesis Mask so you actually get value out of all the keywords you're putting on your things. Also Invasion Plans.
