Expensive Changes —Jan. 6, 2017

After some discussion with friends I decided I wanted to give Life from the Loam a go in this deck and so while I was adding that I altered the land base and upgraded some cards such as Caged Sun->Extraplanar Lens. The next step is going to be making updates with relevant Aether Revolt Cards but I'll save that for a later date.

I would suggest taking out Primal Surge for Boundless Realms. Primal Surge has too high of a chance to hit one of your non-permanents, but Boundless Realms will only whiff if you have all of your basics out, and by then, you've probably won already. I would also suggest Tireless Tracker+Tamiyo's Journal, and Harmonize is boring. Go for Momentous Fall or Greater Good

Thanks NINJAxPENGUIN92. I actually have to update this decklist but I'm going to add those to my list. I took Primal Surge out pretty shortly after I added it, it just wasn't particularly effective. I'm definitely putting all your suggestions on my next order (outside the ones I already have) or grabbing them at my LGS! Thanks!

Also it will probably give you a notification when I update this so take a look at the list after that. :)

Awesome! I'm about to try to do some updating myself on Nissa's Lands. Feel free to peruse and borrow some ideas. :)

I'll also have some sideboard stuff to replace some of the nastier things for more casual play.

NINJAxPENGUIN92 I finally got time to test out this build and it was a blast! The stuff you suggested worked fantastically. There's still some room for improvement I feel with my land base but Momentous Fall and Early Harvest were unbelievable. Recurring them repeatedly with Eternal Witness and Praetor's Counsel was too much fun.

My biggest suggestion in decks like this will always be to simplify your land base, then add some more land ramp to get them out of the deck. then you can just draw all of your awesome cards! I would take out all of the non-basic lands aside from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Mirrorpool, and maybe Ghost Quarter if the land hate isn't a problem in your playgroup (in which case, a Strip Mine and Crucible of Worlds makes things fun with azusa as the commander).
