Eldritch Evolution is definitely awesome in this deck. Ophiomancer and/or Bitterblossom will lock w/ Contamination, plus provides sac fodder. Since you already have Trike, add Mikaeus perhaps for another combo angle? And if you add Mike, then Woodfall Primus is a nice top end beater w/ combo potential. Also Spore Frog (aka fog frog) can be quite strong in Meren.

Eldritch Evolution seems really awesome for this deck, but Idk what to cut for add it (and Thragtusk), the list already is pretty good and really hard remove any card from it =( Contamination + Meren already is a lock, there is no need to add Ophiomancer and/or Bitterblossom... Spore Frog is a great card, I'm considering to use it for a long time but never tested yet for the same reason that I did not added Eldritch Evolution until now =x
The deck is not a real combo deck, it is a midrange deck that can combo-off on the opponent's face when possible.. add more combo pieces is not the main idea of the deck...
Any suggestion fot what to cut for add the cards above?
Most of my experience is in 4p so there are a number of targeted discard things that are running that are much more powerful in 1v1. you have a lot of creature removal effects. Perhaps you could go down on that category or one out of ramp? The edict fleshbag/executioner effects are irreplaceable due to the recursion. Same with Sakura tribe elder. If I have elder in my opening hand, I feel very good about winning the game. Thragtusk does seem like quality value.
I saw Nissa had bottomed out on mtgo in the last week or so. I'm not sure if you are adding it to your deck but it would be worthwhile to grab it now.
I am a fan of ophiomancer as I can skullclamp on my turn each time and still have a death toucher.

Considerations:
- This list is on MTGO
- Due to budget questions (or some I just dont have yet), I dont have the following cards: Polluted Delta, Verdant Catacombs, Twilight Mire, Wasteland, Diabolic Intent, Mirri's Guile, Abrupt Decay, Liliana of the Veil, Inquisition of Kozilek, Dark Confidant, Lotus Cobra, Nissa, Vastwood Seer, Vengevine and Bloom Tender
- When I finished this list I completly forgot to add Thragtusk... what should I remove for add it? =/
- Is Eldritch Evolution a good adition for this list?
Any advices?G Azusa, Wherever I May Roam
