My playgroup is starting to get serious about E.D.H and the decks I've been playing are no longer cutting it so I'm thinking about building this. Any advice, comments or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.
One of the guys at my shop plays a ROFL-Os deck that is pretty sick good. While he built it pretty differently (just a big mana ramp deck with lots of combo wins), there are a few things I would take from his list to suggest to you.
Instill Energy: Completely ridiculous on Rofellos. I mean, just look at the card. Do I really need to explain why?
Squall Line et all: If you play with any infinite mana combos, you can use this card to just win. You play defensively, push your opponent's life totals under yours, then kill everyone.
Lightning Greaves: Good protection for Rofellos and it lets him make mana the turn he comes into play.
Far Wanderings et all: Any card that lets your grab multiple Forests will be crazy good with Rofellos. There are plenty to choose from.
Your list doesn't look bad. Lots of very utility creatures that, duh, are good. Like I said, they probably play very differently. The thing I'd worry most about in your deck is that if you don't kill quickly enough, the flood or mass removal spells that are played in EDH probably destroy your plan.
Just my suggestions from a quick scan. Obviously you'll have more testing and experience with it, but there's some stuff to consider. -Jack
P.S. - Protip - adding numbers in front of the cards in your list will make them tag'd.
throw in a copy of the Elvish Archdruid for extra mana fun. and priest of Titania. then you can go bonkers, make your general Radha, Heir to Keld, and then abuse it, to throw banefire, Blaze, Earthquake, ect in. to give you multiple outs to blow everything the hell up.

Wirewood Symbiote bouncing your Riftsweeper can be really annoying. Greenseeker can be good if you have an active Genesis, which you should also play, so you can make sure you get your land drop every turn.

I've already got the Archdruid and priest in the list. The Rahda idea sounds cool but is probably a different deck. I'm trying to swarm the board and use the insane supply of mana for things like Staff of Domination, Collective Unconcious and Regal Force to draw large chunks of My deck and then swarm the board some more.

I'd run Riftsweeper in a heartbeat if it wasn't banned in this format
now I swear there was a thread over on the edh forums talking about how it was silly that karakus was banned and riftsweeper wasnt. I am fine with it, I was just under the impression that it was not.

My other two suggestions are still there though.
perhaps there was... a year ago.... the thing is Riftsweeper has been banned for quite awhile now. The reason for its banning is because of MTGO installing rules to allow for General based Singleton. The thing about MTGO based Singleton is that they could not make errata that prevented Riftsweeper from targeting the General unlike in Paper based EDH. So instead they simply banned Riftsweeper. So to make EDH more similar to MTGO based Singleton, EDH's rules committee decided to ban Riftsweeper as well instead of making it have confusing Errata.
