The many land synergies that have developed since Battle for Zendikar are now complete with the printing of Ramunap Excavator . Now your lands that end up in the grave can be returned to the battlefield. And with The Gitrog Monster and Mina and Denn, Wildborn allows you to play three lands per turn. Add in Omnath, Locus of Rage , Tireless Tracker , or Scythe Leopard for more shenanigans.

Merciless Resolve with The Gitrog Monster is just gross.

Grim Flayer is a nice beater that can freely throw lands into the graveyard when his attacks find their mark.

Traverse the Ulvenwald helps smooth out the early turns to make sure you get the lands you need. Late game it retrieves one of your big beaters.

Grapple with the Past sifts through the deck and gives you the ability return a vital resource to your hand so you can keep the pressure on. Helps turn on delirium for Grim Flayer and Traverse the Ulvenwald .

Splendid Reclamation is your panic button if you are ever in a situation where you are stuck with The Gitrog Monster but no Ramunap Excavator . Or if you want to cheese your opponent with four or five Omnath, Locus of Rage tokens.

Unlicensed Disintegration is here for some removal and a little bit of extra damage if you have some Clues lying around.

Sideboard is meta dependent and will change depending on which deck is performing the best at any given time.
