Cyclonic Rift is an EDH staple that I try to avoid so my decks don't get stale. It's a power creeped Upheaval with a wonky mana cost. IMO it should be . Reminiscent of the Invasion rare cycle of spells that could be played with flash for an additional .
Land Equilibrium not the first time you have suggested this blast from the past. I don't think it will be as effective in this deck as it was in the other one. Mid to late game I've utilized Patron multiple times and will have nullified the hefty tax.
Moonfolk offering oddly enough can consistently bring out on turn 4, 5 or 6. What profitable mono blue ramp tricks do you have in mind?

TheCardPool Here is the version I quickly came up w/ based on your list. You'll see that I've made about 10 swaps based on my preferences.
Some of the cards I removed are Cyclonic Rift, Wash Away, Mana Drain, Teferi, Master of Time, Mystical Tutor, Personal Tutor, and so on.
Some of the cards I added are Brazen Borrower, Wavebreak Hippocamp, Traverse Eternity, Rise from the Tides, Glamdring, Runechanter's Pike, and so on.
My group def doesn't normally play tutors or cyc rift. I love bad cards like Rise from the Tides and I'm toying around with trying out Invasion of Segovia Flip, Case of the Ransacked Lab, and Throne Of Eldraine.
I love the animate land sub theme!
Anything else I should know?
What I understand it could change based on the situation, but what do you normally target w/ Intuition?
Have you ever come close to decking yourself? I've never played a cantrip-y deck like this before.

I just realized I didn't properly state that I got Cyclonic Rift-ed at the worst possible time. That's what I meant when I said "When he cast the rift..."

Spellskite - Protection/politics
Cyclonic Rift - Wipe
Why Planar Portal and not Planar Bridge?
At the risk of being a dead card, Basalt Monolith to combo with rings for infinite mana and top to draw your entire deck.
Staff of the Mind Magus seems weak. Have you considered swapping it for something more impactful like High Tide?
wallisface on Pattern Recognition #308 - Bounce

I think you’ve vastly oversold bounce effects here - particularly for competitive formats. In formats like Modern for example:
-
The amount of mana you’re spending for a bounce effect is unlikely to heavily outweigh the cost of what you’re bouncing.
-
Decks that would actually want to even consider such effects would generally be some form of control - which typically rely on acquiring a resource advantage over the opponent (which bounce effects are completely counter-productive to).
-
The density of cards that have powerful ETB effects is very high, to the point where there’ll be a swath of targets you can’t even afford to bounce because its just giving your opponent free power. This makes the quantity of practical targets very low.
I feel those above 3 points apply to virtually any constructed competitive format, which is backed-up by them almost never appearing in any of mtgGoldfishes lists of most-played cards. Even in sealed/draft bounce effects are seldom sought-after.
There’s still definitely a place for bounce effects - as you mentioned Cyclonic Rift sees play in edh (though, only because it resets every other players board). But I think overhyping bounce effects has the risk of steering newer players down the wrong direction of card-analysis - in general there are much better ways to interact with an opponents boardstate.

TypicalTimmy Not to detract from your main point, but Cyclonic Rift might be one of the better outcomes for Ghalta, especially if you have a lot of ETB abilities.
Yeah, with good setup, Ghalta can blow a game wide open.

Thanks for checking out the deck Squidcod. Overall, the priciest cards in the deck are Terror of the Peaks, Goldspan Dragon, Purphoros, God of the Forge, Mana Drain, Cyclonic Rift, Jeska's Will, and the various Shocks and Fetches. The real "meat" of the deck isn't as expensive
You could definitely swap Cyc Rift with Evacuation or Wash Out. Mana Drain could probably get swapped with Familiar's Ruse for some additional utility of taking a creature back to hand. Alternatively, you could also change some of those pricier creature slots into creatures with Ninjutsu, if you wanted a bit of that.

Azoth2099 Thanks for your suggestions on my own Narset deck. There's some very interesting things that I'm definitely going to be thinking about.
In regards to this deck, this might just be me, but looking at this in it's current state, I feel like you're liable to struggle to really combo properly when you get Underworld Breach online. No issue keeping the graveyard full, but there's only really Jeska's Will and Rite of Flame in terms of rituals, so I see you running out of Mana fairly easily if you don't draw/mill either of them. (Not difficult, in hindsight seeing how many tutors there are, but still)
I'd see about trying to fit Mana Geyser in there for some extra red and Storm-Kiln Artist for some colour fixing as you go.
I'm also kinda struggling to see a definitive win condition. Might be me being dumb, but I'm not seeing anything that'd clear the board, damage the opponent or mill anyone out, aside from maybe comboing Traumatize and Brain Freeze while Underworld Breach is active, but you'd then need some crazy mana for that to work. That in mind, Cyclonic Rift is a good way to clear out the board for an attack, Grapeshot can easily storm out if you get a loop going, and Jaya's Immolating Inferno can just incinerate everyone if you build up a decent pool of mana.
