You need removal in just about every modern deck, so I'd either splash black for {Maelstrom Pulse} and {Abrupt Decay}, or white for {Path to Exile}. Also, calling a deck with four mana dorks and three land-finding spells ramp is a bit of a stretch. You need something to protect yourself in the meanwhile before the deck gets going, like {Tarmagoyf}.
Quote from: Birdbrain on November 10, 2013, 10:22:53 AMA mana dork is a one-drop which taps for mana. Nykthos depends on your having permanents out to ramp, so if you face any decent deck, they'll just remove your early creatures in short order and leave you floundering, or easily outrace you.Quote from: abstractApathist on November 10, 2013, 09:58:11 AMits got eight mana dorks.

Quote from: Birdbrain on November 10, 2013, 11:51:18 AM{Ranger's Path} and {Kodama's Reach} are pretty slow. I'm saying you need cheaper ramp to get anywhere. Also, {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx} only ramps when you have a board state, so don't count it as early ramping.Quote from: LordJanova on November 10, 2013, 10:34:37 AMalready considered this one.

@abstractapathist: I have 8 things that ramp, but do you think I need more? I suppose I could throw in a {rangers path} for more land grab. Although this ran fine in sample draw. I'll throw it in the sideboard
