This deck has been running pretty well; pulled it out last week and won against a Sedris, Ertai the Corrupted and a really bad Atogatog (Wildfire on turn 4, destroying everyones lands but leaving me with one, and three on top of my deck due to SDT, then sat back playing "draw, not a land, discard" for the next 4 turns...) I was on thirty-something life when I won.
don't lose top, put in tooth and nail and lurking predators for awesome CITB goodness. rolling with a Scroll Rack can set you up for some win with a mayael on the board.
could leveler be used with thran foundry? The effect of thran foundry is : remove thran foundry from the game target player shuffles his graveyard into his library
WHAT

Top's good - really good - at the start of the game, but
Mayael digs 5 down, so rearranging the top 3 isn't that useful
I pretty much only use it to set up the next draw step (so, Mirri's Guile does the same thing, for no mana)
Sometimes, but not often, I need to get the top card of my deck right now
On the other other hand, I only have one SDT and it's probably going to get moved into another deck anyway (something with Magus of the Future/Future Sight in it) so when I get a Mirri's Guile I'll be taking it out anyway, unless I'm lucky enough to trade/get some more SDT's from somewhere (not buying them at the ridiculous price they are now - $15USD?????!!)
Tooth and Nail is a maybe; I don't have one but if I did this is probably the deck it would go in - I'm not big into win-the-game combos, so I'd be using it "fairly". Lurking Predators I've been trying to get my hands on for a while; if I do that would be an excellent reason to keep the Top in there.
Ditto with Scroll Rack - I've been trying to get one for a while but they're rare in these parts..
Seedborn muse and rings of brighthearth are amazing with mayael, If you can get both out, you're potentially dropping 2 fatties on every person's turn.
My inner Timmy just had a heart attack from extreme excitement Going to find those cards RIGHT NOW

Seedborn is amazing with Mayael AND Godsire! Seedborn too fragile for ya? Try Awakening. Don't be afraid that Awakening helps your opponents out either, because they aren't getting any more turns anyway:
With so much topdecking and high cmc in Mayael, you can ride Timesifter to a face smashing victory. And who said that combat damage in EDH is a weak wincon? They haven't met a Timesifting Mayael yet obviously.
if you add more enchantments(which paired with your big dudes makes up most of the deck) i would add academy rector. if she dies and goes to grave = why yes i would like to put my sneack attack, lurking predators, or wild pair to play for free.
Some of you may think that you have made great mistakes in your lives, and perhaps you have. But let me ask you this.... did you ever play strip poker with two fat chicks and win?

Seedborn is amazing with Mayael AND Godsire! Seedborn too fragile for ya? Try Awakening. Don't be afraid that Awakening helps your opponents out either, because they aren't getting any more turns anyway:
Timesifter + any of these: Cream of the Crop, Mirri's Guile, Scroll Rack, Sylvan Library, Congregation at Dawn.
With so much topdecking and high cmc in Mayael, you can ride Timesifter to a face smashing victory. And who said that combat damage in EDH is a weak wincon? They haven't met a Timesifting Mayael yet obviously.
