One thing that has proved very useful in my talrand deck that I feel is very valid in this deck is run less non basic lands and switch all of your basics to snow covered. Once you do that get extraplanar lens so opponents cant take advantage of tapping double!
As where thos two do help opponents it helps you more. Think of this. Say you have a hand of lands, burgeoning of the field and rites... Your ramping super hard. You are going minus in your hand size buuut Omnath is about getting all the mana you can think of onto the battle field! The lens is just nasty in my mono blue with snow covered lands! You will love it!
I just started with Omnath, getting half a dozen games in I have found the following cards to be essential
Doubling Cube - Gets your pool to epic proportions in a HURRY Greater Good - Card draw is nice, especially with repeat offenders like Weatherseed Treefolk Canopy Cover - Cheap and reliable evasion for Omnath or other key critters Helix Pinnacle - Instawin? Ramp 100 mana and win the game. Genesis Wave - Seriously? With all that mana laying around this seems like a no brainer. 20 point genesis wave usually seals games, and can be done way to early.
Just my thoughts.

You have Whispersilk cloak which is a good idea but I'd focus on more evasion/trample effects. A 30/30 Omnath is a lot less cool when it's getting chump blocked by tokens.
What do you think of Overwhelming Stampede though? I could make Omnath huge then, cast the stampede and swing with everything for what most likely will be the game. Thoughts?

Okay, so I know I'm missing these cards:
Diamond Valley
Hua Tuo, Honored Physician
Three Visits
Gaea's Cradle
Grim Monolith
They're a little harder to come by and I'm not sure what to remove to add them. Any other card ideas to make this a little more competitive?
EDIT: Current changes:
19/09/12: Primeval Titan --> Genesis Wave (Due to Primetime being banned)
19/09/12: Lotus Petal --> Helix Pinnacle (No recursion for the Petal)
So I tap these lands to make floaters..... LOL

I like does effects but they also help accelerate my opponents.
But I will change all my basic Forests to Snow-Covered Forests.

You already have Garruk which is good. Rancor also helps a lot. Loxodon Warhammer is helpful too. I also like Elvish Herder.
Mono green decks like Summoner's Pact. I also like Desert Twister in mono-green.
When I'm running Sylvan Library I also run Abundance. It's a nice combo.
I prefer Sylvan Scrying over Expedition Map unless I have a lot of artifact tutor/recursion.
