over the last month, myself and one of the others have decided on a 2 of Garruk Wildspeaker maindeck, seeing as his abilities are always relevant against control, and the tokens are also relevant against aggro.
Also, 2 all is dust have creeped into the main deck, and also wurmcoils have moved out in favor of maindecking 2 terastodon, which is game shaking in almost every case.
Ok. I tried the full playset of lotus cobras, and these other gentlemen are right. out of 5 games vs. u/b , boros, and vamps, The cobra lived to see turn 3 once. and could have just as easily been a better, more stable ramp spell. Late game I'd much rather see a cultivate or harrow with valakuts out than a 2/1 for 2.
On that note, raging ravine as a one of is good. Especially against control.
Anyhow, after a few months of Junding around, this is what Im trotting out at fnm in a few days. It's something Im sure a quite a few have thought of but Ive personally never seen it built. here goes
The only red card is souls fire, so the lack of mountains isnt important, usally I just grab with expanse. basically the entire win con is Ajani, pump for two turns, then make the avatar and use souls fire. Souls grace is icing on the cake, but souls fire is usually all it takes to win. against slower decks, or control, Luminarch Ascsension usually takes off in combination with late game Celestial Colonnades. Im thnking of dropping 2 deft duelist for 2 more Walls of Denial, because their my favorite.

2 maindeck Emrakuls seem incorrect, trapping isn't a very reliable game plan, that being said, a 2nd ulamog in place of kozilek seems long overdue.
What are everyone elses thought on the evolution of the eldrazi list?

Does the deck seem viable in standard? It consistently beats my girlfriends mono-white control. unless she gets a turn 2 or 3 luminarch out.
