That's a great build of an obviously very solid deck. note that this has the full set of xenagos, in contrast to some early builds which were messing with 2/2 xenagos and nykthos for ultra ramp. Unlike standard with hybrid mana, though, block RG decks don't generate enough green symbols to make nykthos worth it. Interesting to note too that both boon satyr and satyr hednist are no longer in the list, they were experimented with at first.
there's a few flex/meta slots here - time to feed and polis crusher most obviously. Apart from that, the rest shoudl pretty much be considered the core of the deck.
Going forward, would it be better to main deck Hunt the Hunter instead of Time to Feed if this version of ramp increases in popularity? Also, would paying the extra mana for Fade into Antiquity worth it since it can get rid of opposing Nyleas and Purphoros'?

Unless you found space in the board, I think Hunt the Hunter is too narrow. Fade I could see.

it's hideously weak to thoughtsieze, but I don't see how you don't keep that on the play (possibly even on the draw). you have all the scry to find you what you need - i'd definitely play my scryland first and fire off magma jet even just to the dome on turn 2, unless I drew/found a mana dork. scry does a LOT to make bad hands playable, it's why i'm totally in love with magma jet atm. Replace one of those jets with lightning bolt and I'm less happy about the hand, replace both and it's probably a mull.
