First experiences... —Dec. 17, 2016
Played a bunch of games today. Loved the deck! There are a lot of fun interactions possible. I was struggeling sometimes which one of the cool plays I could make would be best. I did ran into the issue that I would not have enough lands in the early game, and that I needed more ramp. Having a creature tutor early game also did not help as much, as Nissa was the only creature that gets me a land. So I've added both Journey of Discovery and Solemn Simulacrum to help bridge the gap from 3-4 lands to many lands.
Some cards were underwhelming when playing them: Centaur Vinecrasher looked cool, but there are very few moments when there are a lot of lands in the grave. So this ended up being a dead cards in all the games I played. Exploration was also underwhelming, partly due to the lack-of-early-lands issue, so I've removed those cards for know.
I also ran into Undiscovered Paradise as a cool card to include for additional landfalls. So I'll add that to the deck as well.

Even in a mono-color landfall type deck i like Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse for the ability to play 2 lands in one round. To bounce a land you could use Darigaaz's Caldera or Rith's Grove is you choose a second commander with "partner". You don't even need to play it, just use the color identity (wastes a card in your deck though, i just thought it was a cute idea).

Hey carpecanum,
Thanks for your time. I've considered evolving wilds and terramorphic expanse for this deck, but I've chosen to go for the panorama's instead as they don't etb tapped and they can produce colerless mana (which I need for some of the eldrazi in the deck). However, your comment about fetch lands and landfall is still true. I might squeeze in some more fetch lands if I find room (can't just cut basics, as I need enough for cards like valakut and wave of vitriol).
I do see an issue with your partner plan to enable the lairs: mina and denn do not have partner so it is not possible do add a second commander.

Hi! Big fan of land decks here :)
I'm missing Skyshroud Ranger and Walking Atlas to help with further bouncing of lands :)
Quirion Ranger might be nice too, especially in combination with your Burgeoning
Cloudstone Curio can open up a lot of things, not only lands, but any ENTB effect really ;)
If you're into land stuff, I'm playing a Karametra deck, feel free to come have a look if you like :)

Hey Jestrix,
Thanks for your feedback!
I like the thought of running Quiron Ranger. Good memories of that card, but I haven't considered it yet. Fits very well in the theme of the deck and would also combine well with those creatures that tap to get a land into play. I'll give that some thought.
I also never realized Cloudstone Curio works on lands. Interesting option. Got some things to ponder on now ;).
I'll have a look at your list as well

Nice deck I like what you did with it, I was planning on building a Mina and Denn deck in the near future. I'm going to try and build a budget version though, but definitely going to use your deck for reference. Looks like it will be a fun play :-) +1
