Brainstorming ideas for a deck revolving around Ramos. If there's anything I'm missing, or sounds useful, please let me know! I'd appreciate any help.

Ideally, after a certain point, the deck should be able to resolve game-ending spells turn after turn sans repercussions. The game plan is to ramp into Ramos, play multicolorCed permanent to build mana, and then immediately go for the throat, with cards like identity crisis, progenitus, or sadistic sacrament.

Consider dropping aluren, there aren't enough targets for it to be one sided; however, it creates an infinite combo with horned kavu. Karona may also not be worth it.
