Hey all I have this idea for a deck including Omnath, Locus of Rage and Avenger of Zendikar for a landfall/elemental deck. As my knowledgebase is not as vast as the next folklore legend, I would value any contributions for cards known that would support the mechanics of those cards. Was thinking of including cards like AEther Vial, Primal Beyond, and Parallel Lives. Any ideas for effective non-land mana ramping cards, non-basic lands, helpful lower-cost elementals, or basically anything too help make landfall trigger more would be greatly appreciated. Thank y'all for the time, peace

Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Oracle of Mul Daya. I think you want to build this like an amulet bloom deck with Amulet of Vigor, Summer Bloom and bounce lands like Gruul Turf so that you can ramp out the wazoo and wind up with crazy landfalls after you get these two monsters out. In this build I don't think Avenger of Zendikar would work too well because with this ramp strat you would only wind up with about three or four lands out when he drops. I would suggest Rampaging Baloths instead.

Doubling Season is probably better than Parallel Lives, because it affects +1/+1 counters as well.
I kind of like Smokebraider, Generator Servant, Flamekin Harbinger, and Incandescent Soulstoke in Elementals.
There's also the Arbor Elf and Utopia Sprawl ramp plan.
And of course there's Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. I kind of like Flamekin Village as well.

Spawnwrithe is another small elemental that could be helpful.

Thank y'all for the input, i'll post again later using some the guidelines y'all offered with an idea for a deck list and go from there.

Changed the idea behind the deck a little bit, here is the prototype.-While I am asking for advice I wonder does Lush Growth work like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, in that Urborg causes lands to add both the original type and swamp to the mana pool from what I understand?
Red/Green Elemental/Landfall, all criticism and guidelines are helpful.

Lush Growth does not say in addition so it removes all other types.

Those are a lot of mana. Too much most likely. Especially because if you don't get a landfall before they die, you get basically nothing from them.
If you really want to try it, Arbor Elf, Voyaging Satyr, Utopia Sprawl, Garruk Wildspeaker, Search for Tomorrow, and Sakura-Tribe Elder are the best ramp spells for your deck.
