I built this deck just for fun, but it just started winning way more than I thought it could. I'd like to put some serious testing into it so give me your thoughts.

This deck ramps incredibly fast into massive card draw or a game winning Bolas. The Verdant Haven/Arbor Elf synergy seems cute, but it's more consistent with Ral Zarek in the mix. It uses one-sided sweepers to keep you and your dorks alive. You can count on consistently overloading Mortars and Rift, as well as hard-casting Bonfire. Sphinx becomes even more of a powerhouse with all the ramp. The deck has multiple angles to attack from:

-Nicol Bolas -Kessig fueled dorks -Massive Debt to the deathtless -Miracled Bonfires

The deck mostly has problems with resilient aggro decks like b/w humans or the multiple flavors of 'crats. The sideboard tries to deal with that in the form of Curse of Death's Hold and more rifts.
