Elvish Vanguard and Skullclamp would look great in this deck.

All those interactions do seem powerful, but really it's Knight of the Reliquary that is the strong card...
Unfortunately I play in a removal heavy environment and I can't expect it to survive.

Buuuut... I'm going to trust you and go with 3 Scryb Ranger, 2 Sakura-tribe Scout and two Atarka's Command to complement them.

I'll test it out this week-end and if it works well, I'll add more.

Thanks for your helpful comment... first time someone comments on one of my decks ever, and I have made a LOT over the years  :D
(Check out my Archangel of Thune deck, it works really well and is really fun /shameless plug)

So, to address your suggestion of having recurring mechanics to drop lands, I see now how this could be a problem. I have not yet been able to test the deck, maybe this week-end. The original idea was to smash face so fast that they would be dead by turn 4 or 5, and so you would not need recurring stuff. However if your miss your third or fourth land, your are stuck with a 0/1 Steppe Lynx and a 1/1 Plated Geopede, and the deck falls apart.

So, I added one land and two Life from the Loam, great suggestion thanks.

For the Scryb Ranger, I'll try a one of. It just doesn't seem to do that much, I feel like if you draw two of these they will slow down the deck to a halt.

The Sakura-Tribe Scout I am not a fan of. I understand that in your deck it combos with Life from the Loam and maybe Selesnya Sanctuary (which I also borrowed from you), but I would like a more direct approach. I feel Atarka's Command does the same thing, as I hope to only need this effect once in a game, and it's more versatile, specifically, it hits the face.

Also, I like the Path to Exile, which is just premium removal, and can occasionally count as your ultimate landfall trigger to seal the game (I don't know how realistic that is though :) )

Thanks again for your thoughts, I've updated the deck!

If you are playing against a single opponent, then Debt to the Deathless is a fairly unimpressive spell, ridiculed by Death Grasp .
I strongly recommend you cut at least two, favoring Obzedat, Ghost Council for example, which also combos really well with your Archangel of Thune and Sanguine Bond . Unless you more often play in a multiplayer environment of course.

Also you have only one single card that you can play with 4 mana, which is never good for a control deck.

Other than that the deck looks really solid! As far as recommendations for 1 or 2 drop, I imagine you rejected Vizkopa Guildmage for it's intensive mana cost, but if you cut the Debt to the Deathless you could go with one or two in the deck. Not so sure about that one but it's something worth exploring... hope this helps

So you like playing with big creatures ^^

I like your idea, but it seems you have cards that are trying to weed out the land in your deck, and yet you put 40 of them in? I think for sure you can cut 14-16 of them.

I would also try to use cards that let me play additional lands, like Peregrination . It's way better than Seek the Horizon .

Or cards that have a second purpose like Gatecreeper Vine who can also block a big creature once, instead of Lay of the Land .
 
Also, Fog -like effects combo horribly badly with Unexpected Results . I would cut them, concentrating on the true essence of the deck: THE CREATURES!  :D
Using lower casting cost stuff like Courser of Kruphix or Sylvan Caryatid .
