A landfall mill deck that focuses on maximizing the number of landfall triggers per turn.

Breakdown

Hedron Crab and Sakura-Tribe Scout are the key cards here, they make sure that I can get multiple lands down per turn and that those lands are milling each time. Meloku the Clouded Mirror helps get land back into my hand to call back down for additional landfall hits and generates chump blockers on top of that. Alternatively, Oboro, Palace in the Clouds can do the same thing without generating blockers. Expedition Map helps ensure I have easy access to Oboro or more fetchlands.

After dropping a Protean Hulk and getting it killed with something like Perilous Research, I should be able to get out all of my Crabs/Scouts out, as well as however many Dryad Arbors I have for an additional landfall hit.

Wishlist

Sylvan Scrying and/or Scapeshift would be fantastic in place of Expedition Map, but are a bit expensive.

Edit

Went through several updates to this. Cut out the Chronic Flooding + Floodbringer to fit in some more ramp and draw, not sure if this will work out quite yet. Seer's Sundial was consistently too expensive for me to get out, so I swapped it with Perilous Research and added in some Mycosynth Wellspring to add in some more permanents that would love to be sacrificed.
