PRISMITE & PEMMIN'S AURA ARE IN —Sept. 23, 2019
After further play testing I've decided to try and make these win conditions even more consistent, Pemmin's Aura was recommended to me by K1ngMars and I've found it wouldn't hurt to add an extra infinite mana piece to go with Bloom Tender so that has made it in.
I've also found that the most common way I've been getting infinite mana is with Devoted Druid and Vizier of Remedies as they're both low CMC and can easily be tutored, however this combo only produces infinite green mana which is great if Kenrith it on board, but otherwise I can't really do too much with it all, so I have added in Prismite to filter that infinite green through it and make every colour available to me allowing me to cast Kenrith, give all my creatures haste and beef them up to swing for lethal, it also helps that all of these pieces can even be tutored for with Flash Hulk.
The cards that I have taken out are Biomancer's Familiar and Training Grounds, these two may seem like strange choices to take out as they help reduce Kenrith's abilities, whilst this is true looking back now they also seem unnecessary, the aim of this deck is to get infinite mana as quickly as possible and once I have that I'm more than happy to pay the full amount for Kenriths abilities which essentially makes Grounds and Familiar rather pointless inclusions in the deck, further testing may add them back in but for now they don't seem worth it for the overall end game.
K1ngMars thanks for the suggestion, I keep forgetting about Pemmin's Aura, I'll have to try and find some wiggle room to add it in as it's a great packup in case something happens to Freed from the Real.
As for the LED situation yeah I'm just going to have to be patient and keep scouring around eBay and the like, I managed to do this with a Pokemon card that I wanted to add to my collection, the card usually sold for around £25 and I got mine for £7 because it was a printing error and there was a small ink smudge on the art, you certainly got a good bargain on your City of Shadows!

ScionsStillLive it was in the initial list, I must have taken it out at some point for whatever reason and forgot to add it back in, thanks for pointing that out for me!

Buried Alive gives you an easy way to tutor and bin your Worldgorger Dragon .

RNR_Gaming great suggestion thanks, I don't know whether or not Worlgorger Dragon is staying in the deck quite yet, but if it does stay then some grave tutors to make it easier to start the combo may need to be included.

It's usually the main 5c infinite mana combo though you only really need infinite blue and 1 white to win with him.

Would you consider swapping out Palinchron for a Peregrine Drake . It's 2 CMC less to get going so that might be helpful.
Not sure if you have a wish to colorfix your mana options but if you do, consider Prismatic Omen for an enchantment or even Chromatic Lantern . I know you have options so long as you go infinite with a color, this would just be for some light increase in control of which condition you pick.
Let me know what you think

Massacar the reason I have Palinchron over Peregrine Drake is because I like the ability to be able to return it to my hand if the situation arises, it can sort of protect itself better if I have it out before Deadeye Navigator.
As for mana fixing I'll have a look and see about it, it may be slightly helpful but I don't want to sacrifice any speed by adding them in so a bit of testing w

I suggest Pemmin's Aura for untapping Bloom Tender and obtaining infinite mana, in the same fashion as with Freed from the Real .
As a note on LED, just be patient, maybe you'll find a damaged one somewhere... buy it for "cheap", sleeve it and nobody will ever know. This happened to me months ago with a City of Shadows with a horizontal crease... Snagged it for 3,5 bucks!
