Description

This ramp deck aims to work towards a Verazol + Cragplate Baloth Finisher. You can copy the kicked Baloth to summon two 10/10 haste hexproof attackers, which have trample if you have a Garruk's Uprising out. While ramping to that point, you have access to a ton of draw through Uprising, direct ramp through Lotus Cobra, chump generation through Roost of Drakes, and a large amount of healing/removal with Inscription of Abundance.

If Verazol is out, Inscription of Abundance is incredibly powerful. For example, you can play Uro and flash in the Inscription before the sacrifice to make him a 10/10, gain 23 life, and suicide fight into the opponent's two largest attackers for 8 mana. 

Verazol + Skyclave Relics is a TON of ramp on turn 6. If you double the kicker, you summon 9 relics, more than doubling your mana permanently (e.g. create a 5/5 Verazol on turn 5, then play a kicked Relics on turn 6 to ramp up to 15 mana)

Yes, there are 65 cards in the main deck--with 27 lands, this is the land-ratio equivalent to 24 lands in a 60 card deck and there are enough draw cards to support the additional cards. In standard/historic/modern/legacy formats 60 is only the minimum deck size and you can maindeck any number of cards in excess of this.

Interesting concept but you have 65 cards in the maindeck.
