Two decks out of eight with no planeswalkers in them? Wow, it's a strange world we live in, all right!
Seriously though, I like that green deck. I don't know if it's actually better than Valakut, whatever that means across formats, but it looks like a more fun deck to play with and against. One annoying thing about Valakut is that it relies on lands so much that it's hard to interact with. This deck has a similar green-ramp, relatively creature-light build, sure, and yeah it even uses Inkmoth Nexus, but (a) its creatures could still be real threats with just a little ramp, and (b) at least it tries to win by attacking. I'll probably bring something very like it to FNM.

Why not
Geist of Saint Traft 
to wield a blade instead of
Blade Splicer 
? Is it that important to play defense with your Golem rather than hitting harder?

"It looks like a Blue-Black Control deck, but really only has a couple of
Mana Leak 
s and the one
Divination 
main".
I think you meant the one
Dissipate 
main, otherwise I don't get it, especially since there are two Divinations main. Must be all that talk about Divinition just before that, and the fact that they start with the same syllable. The editor should have catched that one...

Spikeshot Elder 
seems really good now with
Inkmoth Nexus 
being so key to a prominent deck. I run two copies maindeck in my red list, but I wonder if it wouldn't be worth boarding in another one.

The RG ramp deck is possibly missing a singleton copy of
buried ruin 
- get it with the titan and it allows you to get back the wurmcoil engine, or a sword post sideboard.
Also - i dont think the elder will be that important, given RDW's access to burn spells that can deal with the nexus. Possibly
geistflame 
will be more important, though having the elder in play doesn't hurt either.
