CMC Reduction/Efficiency Update —May 25, 2018

This deck has become a pet project of mine. At this point, I am really looking at how far I can take this deck with the potential improvements that can be made to it. I would absolutely love any feedback that people can give me on cards that can help improve the performance.

I changed out several more cards again, this time trying to focus a little more on efficiency with the potential for CMC reduction.

Replacement Lands:

-1 Grasslands with +1 Homeward Path Creature protection

-1 Myriad Landscape with +1 Reflecting Pool Multi-color use

-1 Path of Ancestry with +1 Reliquary Tower Larger hand potential

I replaced these three specifically to reduce the amount of tap lands and/or they offer redundant effects that other lands already cover.

General Card Replacements:

-1 Wave of Vitriol with +1 Fracturing Gust Cheaper CMC, Life gain, Doesn't target lands

-1 Rout with +1 Wrath of God Cheaper CMC

-1 Planar Outburst with +1 Hallowed Burial Bypasses Indestructible, Nothing goes to graveyard

-1 Zendikar Resurgent with +1 Mirari's Wake Cheaper CMC, Passive +1/+1, Also replaces Citadel Siege

-1 Citadel Siege with +1 Sylvan Library Cheaper CMC, Card Draw, Also Replaces Zendikar Resurgent

-1 Primal Command with +1 Eladamri's Call Cheaper CMC, Creature Tutor

-1 Krosan Grip with +1 Path to Exile Cheaper CMC, Exiles creatures, Also replaces Primal Command

-1 Tuskguard Captain with +1 Bastion Protector Helps commander, Human Solider instead of Warrior

-1 Topan Freeblade with +1 Thalia's Lieutenant Buffs other Humans

-1 Abzan Skycaptain with +1 Abzan Falconer Buffs other Humans

I have adjusted the Mana base a little, as the deck is now leaning more to white with the changes listed above.

Looks really good! I find Asceticism quite useful in decks with big creatures like this. You might like it too.

Hydrax thanks for the suggestion. I feel like Asceticism would work very well in this deck for some added protection. I found Privileged Position and I am not sure which one would be better. I really like Asceticism's ability to regenerate creatures and it would make my board wipes less painful. I don't really know what to take out though, unless you might have some input on that as well.
