Addition of Elixir of Immortality —Nov. 6, 2012
Elixir of Immortality redefined this deck. Being able to recast Thragtusk, Terminus, Sphinx's Revelation and Supreme Verdict any number of times is perfect. There was one game where I was play-testing this deck against THCourtney's Rakdos Control deck where he cast Rakdos's Return for 60 (Via Liliana of the Dark Realms) and I survived because I was able to gain so much life from Sphinx's Revelation that was cast five separate times throughout the game due to Elixir of Immortality.

I definitely think you need at least 1 more Angel of Serenity . The reason being that you really get to exploit her shenanigans when you loop them.
I personally have not been too impressed with Armada wurm in my Bant control, so if you have access to another Angel, I'd try switching out the wurm and seeing what happens.

Agreed, on 2 Angels. Preferably I'd like that two play 2 Angels because of the loop, but I only have 1.
I want to test the creatures as 2x Angel of Serenity
1x Armada Wurm
4x Thragtusk
and maybe two copies Snapcaster Mage in place of the Wurm and another card, but I'm not too sure about the early game without the Centaur Healer s. Thoughts on that?

Very much like bant control-very succesful, off which I modelled a Mill version in Ultimill Control.
You put Resto Angel twice in your description... and I must note that she also lacks synergy with the Angel of Serenity ... it would be mega-awesome if she could blink Serenity, but it's only non-Angels. :)
