Naya charm is by far the MVP of the deck. The idea is to use crazy amounts of removal until your opponent gets in topdeck mode. Then blow them out with a PW/Luminarch. Also by forcing them t deal with PWs, they suffer fom the enchantment.
As a final note, Magma Spray could also be beastly aganst decks that run Bloodghast.
And look what else it gave us....FETCH LANDS!, Slivers (including Sliver overlord), AN ALL CREATURE SET, Akroma, Wellwisher, Eternal Dragon, and just look at the key abilities that are still around Storm, and more importantly Double-strike, and Vigilance was basically created because Akroma's text was ridiculus.
And who could forget about Morph? lol Blistering Firecat anyone?
Onslaught - Severly missed in Extended (although TEPS can just go to hell)
Here is what I was kind of thinking, and it may be too much ut here it is anyway.
Background: option 1 - The plains #233 for Zendikar
option 2 - Zendikar plains #233 on left, and mountain #243 (zen) on right side
option 3 - Same as above but maybe Arid mesa in between
White: Blend Luminarch Ascension; Iona, Sheild of Emeria; and Path to Exile. Not necessarily all three, whatever you like.
Red: Promo Ajani Vengeant. Then if you feel you need to balance with one of the angels or maybe Bogardan Hellkite/Lightning bolt.
I know that's like a pretty crazy request, but I hope someoneis up to the challenge.
I've been testing the R/W version of this deck for a while at my local store using proxies. It's really strong. I've been using Chandra Nalaar as a tertiary win condition behind Luminarch Ascension and Ajani Vengeant. She's actually really strong in this deck as an answer to things with pro-white. If I ever get her down with one of the other cards my opponents almost always scoop.
Earthquake is another card that I don't think people are giving enough attention to. It can act as a sweeper or spot removal and is much more versatile than Pyroclasm. It can also squek in thos last points of damage if necessary.
Lastly, I've been testing Pitfall Trap which has been absolutely stellar. It's combination with Path to Exile is amazing. You can Pitfall early in the game and use Path late in the game. They compliment each other really well.
24 lands - probably arcane sactum and slightly heavier on swamps for tendrils.
Here is the problem I have had. Bad matchups against Time Seive/Time Warp. Cascade is still probably the deck to beat, but they can run out of gas if you stall with a sigil/wall, then wrath. I think right now the biggest issue is the time walk match up, which you will always loose game one, then 50-50 after you bring in silence.
The mana curve is still pretty high, so I added the scullers....(love them). But I am obiously hoping someone has a brilliant idea, because right now, cruel ultimatum = loss. Everytime.
For the record, I think I might change my mind. I was talking to a friend who's opinion I respect (top 16 in the LA Grand Prix this year), and Windbrisk is probably a better option than Mosswort.
As Dafiya put it, you usually have board position if you can activate the Mosswort...
But the Windbrisk is a game changer. It can be tempo, or even used as a 'Hail Mary' if the game is slipping.
Also, I freaking love Sable Stag!!!!!!
I played a mono green token/Aggro version last night to a 3-0-1 cut to top 8, 2-0-1...
The Stag hit the board against a Faeries deck, then a second, he blocks with Mutavault, I 're-enforce' the open stag with Hunting Triad, and naturalize his Bitterblossom.
Damn, I want to play Isocron and Erayo in the same deck soooo bad but I'm just not sure if it will work.
First the Mana is fine, I have had absolutely no problems with it.
Secondly, the charm sleeps their team, and I do't have to worry if my I-Bolt kills the creature I target or not. Also it grabs PWs back.
Beastly, and auto 4 of.

But I love Ajani against Arid mesa, that just looks sick!
And one last thing maybe "D A K O T A H O R N"could go on the bottom in a small but bold font, and lighter color maybe off-white or something!
I am looking for a pretty sweet sig.

***edit*** this post was aimed at the original decklist.
With that said, I assume you should be playing the deck as control as much as possible. This is what I am playing now:
Wall of Reverence x4
Baneslayer Angel x4
Child of Night x4
Tidehollow Sculler x4
Day of Judgement x3
Tendrils of Corruption x4
Path to Exile/Doom Blade/Harm's Way x3
Ad Nauseum x3
Sanguine Bond x4
Tainted Sigil x3
24 lands - probably arcane sactum and slightly heavier on swamps for tendrils.
