This is for multiplayer. Let me know what you think. Needs a little work, but I am happy with it so far.

Some cards that become 10-fold more powerful in multiplayer:

Burgeoning
---Basically reads "Put X lands into play where X is the number of players."

Taurean Mauler
---Many players leads to many spells, Many spells lead to many counters, Many counters lead to a big f***ing creature.

Devastating Dreams
---Essentially a board clearing effect for everyone. Better then Wrath.

Armageddon
---Terravore eats you.

Some cards I cut were:
Chimeric Egg (Not enough action from it.)
Crucible (Life from Loam is strictly better.)
1 Recoup Mainboard (Better cards can be in the slot.)

Please give as much advice as possible and remember this is a casual multiplayer deck.

Change a pyroclasm in the board to a rough/tumble to get around meddling mages.

Burgeoning seems rather weak. While it allows you to accelerate your hand. You most likely will run out of lands byu the time the second player lays his land down. On the other hand if you have any more lands in your hand then you are lacking action which couldve taken the slot of the burgeoning. Multiplayer games don't hinge on speed but rather resources, having a 20/20 terravore out afte you blow up every single land on the field is great, having a burgeoning out while your opponents are playing decrees and fact or fictions... not so much. With 25 land obliterate is worth considering. Get to a lot of mana (easy in multiplayer) float 3 then cast obliterate proceed to beat with terravore ftw. This can easily be done if your opponents are not aware of what you are doing, just lay down land after land and birds of paradise untill you get to the desired 11 mana and then go nuts.
