MTG Salvation

What can I do to make this deck better? What cards should be cut/added?

It is now down to 100... but I have like 50 other card possibilities?

First of all, Upheaval is banned in EDH. So there's an easy cut.

Jhoira of the Ghitu is the second EDH deck I ever built,so I've been playing her for a while. You've got a pretty good start here with the time counter manipulation and mass destruction spells. However, you need some better card draw and suspend spells.
Card Draw:

• Opportunity
• Tidings
• Honden of Seeing Winds
• Arcanis the Omnipotent
• Mulldrifter
• Rhystic Study

Suspenders:

• Tidespout Tyrant
• Darksteel Colossus
• Inkwell Leviathan
• Kederekt Leviathan
• Sundering Titan
• Blatant Thievery

Things I would look at cutting are:

• Detritivore I used to run this and it really isn't as good in reality as it seems on paper.
• Dragonstorm This also seems better on paper than it works out in reality.
• Shivan Dragon This guy just doesn't have enough impact. Spellbound Dragon has a far greater impact in a deck like this.
• Gelectrode I'm not sure exactly what this guy is going to accomplish.
• Arc Blade & Reality Strobe I get why these are in here and how they can be abused with time counter manipulation. I'm just unsure whether or not they are good enough. If they work for you though, keep them in.
• Grozoth I love me some leviathans, but other than being huge what's it going to do? Is it just for the transmute or do you expect it to actually come into play?

Some other cards I like to run in my deck are Evacuationand Hoverguard Sweepers. I can't say enough good things about Evacuation. And the sweepers are just fun. They're a big flier plus double Unsummon. There are better cards out there, but I do love the look on people's faces when they reach across the table and say "what's that?".

Hope that helps.

I don't know why but everyone always seems to forget Sunder, that card is bombtastic.

Awesome post. I really appreciate your thoughtful response. I took many of your suggestions into account, and its funny that I had already added some of the cards you mentioned since I posted my list. I updated the deck up top. I actually am hoping to play Grozoth, but the transmute would be invaluable I think. I plan to abuse arc blade and reality strobe to the absolute max. lol

I changed a bunch of stuff, removing and adding things as you suggested. I wasn't sure how Detritivore was going to work, so hes gone.

Now I think the list looks a lot more powerful... but now I have to get rid of 5 cards. lol... which ones are sub-optimal from the list I have now?

Though I like their utility, I think Clout and rewind might be things to cut... Which creatures should I cut? (I really like the Mirror Breaker/pestermite combo, else I would cut those)
Also, what do you all think of 37 lands?

I'm a big fan of the rarely used Aura Thief. Cast Obliterate with him in play and you get everything that is left, except for Planeswalkers of course. I had Decree of Annihilation in my build for a long time but I eventually cut it for Apocalypse to get rid of pesky enchantments and I've been happy with the switch. Also 2nd Sunder suggested by Risk, the card is in fact bombtastic.

Okay, deck build is updated. I really like the replacement of Decree of Annihilation with Apocalypse. I made that switch. Also put in Sunder. I still need to eliminate 6 cards. What should I cut?
