This is a version of Eightpost that i made up.
Lands:
4x Cloudpost
4x Vesusa
4x Breeding pool
4x Stomping Ground
3x City of Brass
1x Academy Ruins
1x Dark Depths
1x Gemstone Mine

Cratures:
4x Triskelion

Spells:
4x Sylvan Scrying
4x Demonfire
4x Oblivion Stone
4x Spell Burst
2x Sensei's Divining top
3x Coalition Relic
3x Moment's Peace
4x Reap and Sow
4x Wurmcalling
2x Mindslaver

Sideboard:
4x Salvage Twister
2x Mindslaver

The point of the deck is to hold off long enough to deliver an uber Demonfire to the face or have an uber Wurm eat your opponent. Twisted Evil

It is basically an extended deck if you take out crop rotations and put in sylvan scryings. There are plenty of combos here such as mindlsaver lock, argothian elder with staff for infinitie mana as well. Love this deck.

One of my biggest problems with this deck was using Mangus the major disadvantage it gives you and you can't play it first turn since you need to usually drop a cloudpost first turn. Secondly playing the shock lands and city of brass alows you to free up some spots for some spell burts which helps alot when facing enduring and allows you to side cranial. Also I run 4x Oblivion because well in this deck is alot better than wraith. And finally Demonfire is a much better win condition than Wurmcalling because of Form of the Dragon and aggro decks.
Remember I'm trying to make this deck usible in more than casual.

4 tops are you crazy that would bog down the deck way to much 2 is the max. And moments peace can be changed to savage twister or even chameleon blur because this deck gives you that much mana to work with.

I would play atleast 3 tops in any green big mana deck, but 4 seems optimal here.

so what will 8-post look like now since one of the key cards 2 this deck is now gone? i know it's not the back bone of the deck, but this card made it sooooooo much easier 2 find the pieces that u needed 2 pull out a win.
