I transformed my old abzan lands list to this, to get back into standard after some months. As I'm a sucker for value and grinding I wanted to include Tatyova, Benthic Druid and Muldrotha, the Gravetide.This deck wants to unload a ton of lands onto the battlefield via Wayward Swordtooth, accumuluate value through some saccable lands and Ramunap Excavator , stock the graveyard via Ipnu Rivulet and Champion of Wits to later harness it via The Scarab God and Muldrotha, the Gravetide. The nutdraw or rather sequence or rather magical christmas wet dreams would be something t1 Llanowar Elves into t2 Wayward Swordtooth into t3 Vraska, Relic Seeker, assuming I hit all my landdrops. However wanting to t1 elves somewhat reliably requires the deck to have around 13-14 untapped green sources, while this deck has three colours and some intense black mana costs in card: ravenous chupacabara, Vraska's Contempt and Ifnir Deadlands. I had to decide between explosive starts and a more consistent late game, hence this mess of a manabase and no checklands.

I fear that maybe this deck wants to do too many things and I would be better of with just a simic turbolands deck utilizing tatyova or a dimir/ sultai midrange deck focussing heavily on the scarab god. Also should I fail to draw a llanowar elves in my opening hand, the resulting curve is pretty awakward beginning at three. As a replacement I thought of Adventurous Impulse (which doesn't stock the graveyard), Merfolk Branchwalker (which is awkward in the curve IF I have a t1 elves) and Strategic Planning (which is also awkward in case of elves and furthermore can't be recurred with muldrotha/ TSG). Champion of wits' effect is clearly the best, but curve concerns make it less attractive. Oh and also the manabase could be way off, dunno.

Update! I switched from champion of wits back to merfolk branchwalker and also begrudgingly cut muldrotha for some other stuff. I'll get the missing cards for this build and try it out at FNM next week
