Catching up on this deck. The most major change is that Zendikar Rising gave us Omnath, Locus of Creation in the same colour identity as K&T. I've swapped the Commanders as Omnath is obviously the more powerful choice. However, I may swap it back to K&T if I find the deck TOO powerful.

Zendikar Rising also gave a slew of powerful landfall cards. Landfall as a mechanic now has so many options that I've had to make painful cuts to make room. I've focused more on the token generating landfall cards as that is how the deck ultimately seeks to win. Felidar Retreat, Phylath, World Sculptor, and Scute Swarm are all new token generators that join the older ones.

Valakut Exploration and Moraug, Fury of Akoum are also powerful landfall cards for card draw and win con respectively. They replace Recurring Insight and Craterhoof Behemoth that felt a little like generic "goodstuff".

Ancient Greenwarden has been added as a Panharmonicon for lands.

Additions from other recent sets include Escape to the Wilds and Genesis Ultimatum for card draw and Dryad of the Ilysian Groves for extra land drops.

Another major change was around the land base. I found having all of the tapped bounce lands just slowed the deck down too much despite their synergy with landfall. I've replaced them with Fabled Passage, Ketria Triome, Raugrin Triome, Exotic Orchard and a couple more basic lands.
