Stomping Slabs & thrumming stone,how will this stack, do you take the top 7 cards and then the top 4 cards after that? or can you choose which order to stack them? how would the damage work and if you find a stomping slabs with the thrumming stone instead of the slabs?? looks like an interesting combo for a direct damage deck.
The Ripple triggers and you reveal the top 4 cards of your library and then play any Stomping Slabs revealed and then you can ripple for that one and so on. Once you are done rippling, the Slabs make you reveal the top 7 and if one is a Stomp Slabs it deals 7 damage and you do this for each one you played normally and via Ripple.
Side Note: Ripple with Stomping Slabs isn't a good combination because the ripple effect isn't part of the revealing section of the Slabs and it won't make it deal 7 damage even if you reveal another one with ripple.

Interaction with Thrumming Stone
1) Play Stomping Slabs. It goes on the stack.
2) Thrumming Stone will trigger and go on the stack.
3) Thrumming Stone resolves. You may reveal 4 cards. If you reveal another Stomping Slabs, you may play it. Repeat from step 1. Since this is part of Thrumming Stone's ability resolving, no damage is dealt if a Stomping Slabs is revealed at this time.
4) If you do not reveal any copies of Stomping Slabs, or if you choose not to play any revealed, put those 4 cards on the bottom of your library, then go on to step 5.
5) Stomping Slabs resolves. Reveal 7 cards. If you reveal another Stomping Slabs, no matter how many copies of Stomping Slabs you reveal, Stomping Slabs will only deal 7 points of damage.
6) For each Stomping Slabs that was played by Thrumming Stone, repeat step 5.
In other words, Thrumming Stone does nothing to enhance this card, and might even detract from it. Revealing one of these during Thrumming Stones's effect will not count toward revealing one of these for it's own effect. If you reveal another Stomping Slabs during Thrumming Stone's resolution, you'll get another chance to go through 7 cards, but you won't deal damage. It's also less likely that you'll turn one up during it's own resolution, since you'll now have seen two copies of the card.

Although its not actually the thrumming stone that triggers. The ability that thrumming stone has is not a triggered ability, If it was it would read "Whenever you play a spell, Ripple 4." It doesn't Instead it says, "Spells you play have Ripple 4." So it is actually the ripple ability itself that triggers. This doesn't change the horrible interaction with Stomping Slabs, I just thought I would point it out anyway. Use Sensei's Divining Top and the like to ensure that you get 7 damage for 3cc's.
Edit: Although this does help you get a little closer to another copy of ths Slabs, your going to hit yourself when you reveal one from the ripple.
