The first thing you might notice about my deck is the lack of a lot of land. I'll tell you this, I do not have a whole lot of mana screwed draws. As long as I can get a Forest and a one dropper mana producer and maybe a Land Grant, I'm set.
I did have Treetop Bracers in the deck but replaced them with the Drivers.
I also had Parallax Waves, but realized the two WW in the casting cost made it difficult to cast.
I was thinking about going to one Panther and increasing to 4 each of the Idol and Crawler.
I'm pretty sure I'll replace the Disenchants with Seal of Cleansings because I don't anticipate on always having white mana available.
Let me know what you think, Thanks :)

Tanglewire with armageddon is very evil. The seal is definitely a better idea. Thrashing Wumpas would be bad for this deck.

I play-tested all weekend with this deck, and yes, I am NOT playtesting against Finkle or Zvi, but I consider some of opponents worthy.
I swapped out the Disenchants for the Seal of Cleansings. Good Choice.
I also swapped out 2x Noble Panthers for 1 more each of the Idol and Crawler, another good choice.
Now I'm thinking about getting rid of Plains altogether and replacing them with 4x Brushlands and one more forest. I keep drwing Plains in my opening draw, and it slows me down.
I can't wait to take this new version to the shop next week, it's going to 'Rock'!

It would prevent free massacres(bad things) the 4 Brushland are good and 1 Elfhamme Palace. I am not sure about taking out panthers as they can kill opposing idols and silt crawlers and survive.

Coolio!
I think the seals are a good idea, as well as the panther drop. I *really* like the brushland idea, and if you have problems against other creature decks, you can replace them with city of brasses and throw in some Fire Seals.
And since you have the brushlands, you might want to reconsider the Waves, they are a very very great utility addition. Espicially agaisnt those dreaded Derms of Blasto.
Hope this helps!

Land Grant < Forest
With a Geddon deck you are wanting to see later land, so why thin it out?

Brushlands, certainly.

Stampede Driver seems weak.

Wax/Wane is the best card available to W/G after Noble Panther and Armageddon. 4 of Panther, 4 of Wax/Wane.

I think your desk is trying to be slightly too clever, it`s using a lot of early tricks (mana monsters, LlanKnight, LG etc) and little high-end fat. With so much mana acceleration don`t you want to shoot up to 4cc ASAP - so why no Leeches/Bursts/Munghas/Woodrippers etc? In a Geddon deck Phat is King.

And I think Boa is straight-out better than LlKnight.
