    What do you think? I play mostly heads up (1v1) This deck is very linear, which makes multi-player, ..interesting sometimes. It probably has too many counters, but i love them... mana drain is one of my top 5 favorite magic cards of all time. Does the new mana drain (plasma capture) make the cut??

    Cleaned up your decklist and added card tags. It was a little difficult to parse.

    I'm not a fan of O-Ring. Beast Within is probably just better in most instances. You don't have to worry about opposing sweepers or your own leaving behind some nasty thing. I don't like Keiga either. Genesis would be a pretty sweet replacement give you some pretty good recursion. Mulldrifters for days! The rest looks pretty good.

    I agree with Genesis. I tend to run it in any deck with both Survival and Fauna and multiple creatures with ETB card advantage abilities (Mulldrifter, Acidic Slime, Sun Titan, Witness, etc etc). So much profit.

    It would also allow you to run Plaxmanta as recurring protection shield against spot removal, which is nice when you're playing a deck that wants to "attack alone". If you have Survival out, paying GG with any creature in hand puts Genesis in the graveyard and Plaxmanta in hand. You can then flash it in response to any removal and bring it back during your upkeep for 2G.

    Have you thought about a second target for Sovereigns? It would just suck if Eldrazi Conscription was not in your library (in hand, milled, destroyed, etc.). Something playable like Shield of the Oversoul or Angelic Destiny maybe?
