"note: i do need alot of fetches for the deck to work though"
smackjack turn one plays kinda hurt. i also feel like i could use more basics because of Harrow but im not sure what to take out.
basically 4x harrow/khalani + all the fetches for landfall require alota basics, but the deck wont work with too many basics coz of the mana fixing. thts the dilemma, im trying to get that sweet balance. but ill start it out with ur suggesion and playtest a bit.

I'd cut the misty for either a Cinder Glade or the GR cycle land. It makes a turn one with nothing to do less painful, ups your actual land count, and smooths out your fixing just a bit more. I like the cycle land more because it allows for a decent later game top deck, but that's worth experimenting whether or not it'll be useful.

Looks mostly good to me, probably just about getting good starting hands.

i really feel like i need to fit in some more basics for all the land fetch tho. sometimes in grindier gasmes i run out of basics to fetch.

Well why not remove Bloodstained Mire, Kessig Wolf Run, Misty Rainforest, Verdant Catacombs, and Wooded Foothills in favor of just getting some more basic lands into the deck?

GodCyphus because the different mana required on every turn is horrendus. id love for either a mountain/swamp on turn one but need several forests after. and the fetches are important for landfall. i have a somewhat working list right now in private but i run out of basics still sometimes. its hard as hell to get the perfect balance sadly.

You could do -1 Mountain +1 Stomping Ground but other than that you mana base looks good. What problems do you have with it?
