Notes:
I've hung up my Esper deck and wanted to play a creature deck that also lets me draw cards. I don't have {Thragtusk} or {Restoration Angel}, but may have access to them at some point before rotation. Running {Advent of the Wurm} and {Unflinching Courage} as substitutes. Any thoughts or suggestions would be awesome!

{garruk relentless} could hold a spot in here, some quick removal, chump blockers, and his ultimate could provide you with an additional win con. Also, don't forget about {master biomancer}, he's such a boss with zegana

 {Progenitor Mimic} is a house with that lineup.

I have a {Progenitor Mimic} and would definitely consider picking up another since it's so BA.  I think more {Geist of Saint Traft} would be good (I love having that turn 3 3 drop play, and {Loxodon Smiter} alone isn't cutting it), but I don't think I want to spend $80 on a card that will rotate in a few months since I don't play eternal formats.  {Voice of Resurgence} will EVENTUALLY be added, but probably no time in the immediate future.  I really like {Garruk Relentless} but I don't have any and the four-drop spot is pretty full of awesome right now, which is also why {Trostani, Selesnya's Voice} is absent at the moment.

I feel like my guys need more evasion, since right now only {Advent of the Wurm} tokens have trample naturally and everything else needs {Unflinching Courage}.  I've considered {Vorapede}, but most likely I'll need to pick up a few {Kalonian Hydra}s after the hype dies down a little bit.

Finally, I really like {Jace, Architect of Thought} in here, almost to the point of wanting to go to three, but I'm not 100% sure about {Sphinx's Revelation} in this deck.  Thoughts?
It may just be me (It probably is) but i think {Sphinx's revelation} is going to drop a fair bit after rotation, because i think standard will see much less aggro and much more big creatures, and control. Theres my 2c

If you like jace, play him, especially if you are playing him for his negative abilities.

Also consider playing  {Rogue's Passage} for evasion?
