MTG Salvation

My desire is to build a deck of my own design based around the idea (and prospective decks) in this article.

What I've got so far:


EDIT: -1 QfAS, +2 Mindwrack Liege, -1 Deep-Sea Kraken, -1 Isleback Spawn, -1 Maelstrom Djinn, -2 Autochthon Wurm, -2 Sphinx of Jwar Isle, -2 Sphinx of the Steel Wind, +1 Progenitus, -3 Kalonian Behemoth, +4 Rampant Growth, +1 Cancel, +1 Negate, +3 Remove Soul, +2 Vine Trellis, +1 Krosan Tusker, +3 Inkwell Leviathan,

I feel like you're going two different directions with your deck. Do you want to ramp up mana to the fatties or go solely with "Cheat-into-play" effects? Half of your cards are ramp, and the others are CIP cards. I'd suggest picking one or the other and going with that.

Lurking Predators seems like an interesting CIP card combined with Cream of the Crop

I feel like Summoning Trap would become nearly useless unless you were playing a counter deck.

Did you even read the article?

Summoning Trap is there to ramp fatties out at EOT. Fatties like Progenitus, that make the game end nice and quick.
My goal is to pop out Progenitus, a Kalonian Behemoth, or the Slagwurm turn four or five. The ramping is there to help that along. Besides, what counter deck will have the mana to deal with a deck that drops a Dramatic Entrance or Summonering Trap during their turn. Please. Read the article.

EDIT: I do like Lurking Predators though. I'll think on that one.

Here's what I recommend:
1) Vigor with Empyrial Archangel is ridiculous
2) Vigor with Beacon of Creation and Coat of Arms is just silly
3) Woodfall Primus is needed for pesky enchantments and artifacts
4) Terramorphic Expanse, Sakura-Tribe Elder, Harrow, and Khalni Heart Expedition work very well together to do 2 things:
---> Landfall Khalni super fast
---> Get tons of lands out to increase good draws and token producers
5) Coat of Arms with 6+ tokens is awesome

Again, reading the article is required... It's about Summoning Trap. Summoning Trap is required. Dramatic Entrance is not. Also, ramping is more useful, but Vigor isn't quite what I'm looking for here. I want beaters. Archangel, Vigor, Primus, and Elder aren't beaters. Plated Slagwurm, Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Inkwell Leviathan, Simic Sky Swallower, and Progenitus, are beaters. Coat of Arms, Beacon, and Expedition aren't great for what I'm trying to do.
