Courser of Kruphix

Enchantment Creature — Centaur

Play with the top card of your library revealed.

You may play the top card of your library if it's a land card.

Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, you gain 1 life.

Profet93 I find your analysis of Courser of Kruphix interesting though. You rank them as a tie in your mind, while I think the extra land drop alone makes me prefer Dryad of the Ilysian Grove a lot more and it's not even close for me. I'm pretty curious why you weigh Courser's effects the same as Dryad's.

fuster +1 It's hard to provide meaningful suggestions to a deck so tuned but I'll do my best.

Yavimaya Hollow - Protection

Maybe Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth - Or do you not need colorfixing/helping opponents?

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp, or is it considered a tap land?

Castle Vantress - Scry, or is it considered a tap land?

Deserted Temple - Untap cradle

Swap half your basic for snow-covered to more easily trigger field of the dead

Maybe Abundance - Synergy with sylvan library and a decent filter.

Snapcaster Mage - Recursion

Maybe Splendid Reclamation - Although you might not have enough land saccing to justify it's cost/too narrow. Works well with scapeshift and all your fetchlands.

Finale of Devastation - Tutor/alt wincon, especially with avenger and cradle.

Horn of Greed - Or is it too symmetrical?

Tireless Tracker - Or is it too slow/not needed given you draw enough?

Courser of Kruphix > Dryad of the Ilysian Grove ? - Can you explain your thought process behind Dryad > Courser? On the one hand, dryad doesn't reveal your draws, provides an additional land drop and is slightly easier to cast. I don't see any significant benefit to it's other ability. On the other hand, Courser gains you additional life (while not needed), is harder to cast but allows you to cast from the top of your library. It does reveal your cards so perhaps that's the reason? I just assume when I'm against the blue player they always have a counterspell. Been thinking of swapping out Dryad for Courser in my azusa list.

OK here we go lol

Creature cuts: Archon of Sun's Grace, Composer of Spring, Courser of Kruphix, Doomwake Giant, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Nessian Wanderer, Nyx Weaver

Artifact cuts: Mesmeric Orb, Whip of Erebos

Enchantment cuts: Battle for Bretagard, Boon of the Spirit Realm, Cast Out, Exploration, Familiar Ground

Sorcery cuts: Extinguish All Hope, Kodama's Reach, Rampant Growth, Skyshroud Claim

Instant cuts: None! Add things like Veil of Summer & Silence, though

I'd recommend that you replace all of those lands ramp spells that cost more than 2 with more mana rocks instead! Your guild signets (Selesnya Signet, Orzhov Signet & Golgari Signet) & talismans (Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Resilience & Talisman of Unity) are all better options since this isn't a Landfall deck.

@unstable_anomaly

Courser of Kruphix is definitely a card I have considered, but I'm just not quite sure what I would cut for it, as I feel that Oracle of Mul Daya gives better value and I'm not sure if I want a second reveal effect.

Coat of Arms makes sense due to how many Elementals you make, but I play in a pod full of tribal decks, Krenko, Sigarda humans, etc.

I'm personally not really a fan of mana sink cards, so while Genesis Wave is undoubtably a good card, the only slot I would give it would be Awaken the Woods, and Awaken the Woods is better imho.

Very well thought out deck and well written primer. +1

I have a Dina lands deck that plays somewhat similar.

Wanted to recommend a few things but after reading through the comments it looks like you've tried most of them. But here's a few I didn't see...

Courser of Kruphix / Genesis Wave / Coat of Arms

Looks like you cut World Shaper at one point?

Realistically I think Genesis Wave deserves a spot more than anything.

Not bad list... May i suggest to you Courser of Kruphix? Super strong synergies with not only your commander but Azusa as well. It makes or breaks some of the games I've played it in with Azusa at the wheel. +1 from me.

Forgot to say what to take out for the three cards above: Green Sun's Twilight, Hull Breach, Lukka, Bound to Ruin. The Twilight is unrealiable until you spend a lot of mana into it. The Breach is sorcery-speed. The planeswalker does not do much here.

Now some small upgrades you can make:

Search for Tomorrow seems like a good fit. I've been pretty lucky pulling Arboreal Grazer most first turns so that always gives me immediate ramp but having more 1 mana options can't hurt.

Jaddi Offshoot is insane! I think I'm definitely adding that in asap. I feel like Courser of Kruphix is definitely a tighter strategy option than Gladeheart but I'm hesitant! In a couple of my games with this deck I've been doubling up life gain/damage with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Sanguine Bond and gladehearts landfall effect have really been lifesavers. However ... I have top-carded with this deck a few times already and that sucks. Might toss out the 2 Chalice of Life  Flip for 2 of them and see how it goes!
