So I probably should of mentioned some of the problems with the deck lol.
-
Ok, yes Knowledge Pool is a cast trigger, so it wouldn't trigger if the spell is already cast. This is a problem with specifically Knowledge Pool and Prototype Portal. In order do both in 1 turn would cost 10 mana and would only happen as fast as turn 4 if you have Tron active with 2 towers. So more than likely you would be getting this combo if portal was under a pool to begin with or beyond turn 4.
-
This would still be a lock then, either cast Bronze Bombshell and take 7 or let your spell be ate by the pool.
-
This is true, but my other modern deck right now is Izzit Coin Flip, so I'll take that chance. :P
-
Now I forgot about Boseiju, Who Endures. And Shattering Spree may still go under the pool, but it's replicated copies would be a problem. As you said will need to find solutions for this. Spellskite would work I guess. Oh yeah and to fit the theme, Jester's Cap could hit 3 Boseiju lol (I don't this this is good). And Pithing Needle can stop Boseiju also since it's an activated ability. This is just off the top of my head.
-
I just wanna lol
I'm trying to go through and see other things that are problems and if I would have to choose one it would be that Mystifying Maze only hits attacking creatures that the OP has, so I can't use it to temporarily get rid of Soulless Jailer so I can cast noncreature spells. The only thing that comes to head atm is Endless Sands, but I don't like that. Will be looking for something for that as well.

Thank you for the suggestions SufferFromEDHD. I've definitely noticed a lot of similarity in most of the Preston lists blinking into existence right now. The primary differences I'm noticing are mostly the combo lines or meta-specific tech.
I frequently play against Muldrotha, the Gravetide and a couple of other graveyard decks in my meta, so Scavenger Grounds is a must. I had some reanimation spells like Faith's Reward and Brought Back in earlier drafts of the deck, but opted for more blink instead. I have Rally the Ancestors as my primary reanimation spell, but might swap it.
I do have a copy of Vesuva around, thank you for reminding me I should probably add it in. I looked at Endless Sands on initial brewing, but felt it was kinda clunky for my tastes.

Cool list! I recently built Preston and saw we have some overlap in strategy.
My list has a few reanimation spells in it so I couldn't run Scavenger Grounds which is underrated EDH tech imo. I noticed you aren't running Endless Sands which has strong synergy with Preston and Scavenger Grounds.
Emeria, The Sky Ruin is very powerful in this strategy. I run Vesuva to double up on it or whatever else I need in a pinch.
Deserted Temple always useful.

I definitely think you can spare to cut some lands, my own Omnath, Locus of Creation landfall deck only uses 39 (mind you, it has Wooded Foothills, Misty Rainforest and the like which give me extra landfall triggers). In their place I highly suggest some stuff like Roiling Regrowth, Harrow, Kodama's Reach, Cultivate, Rampant Growth, and Growth Spiral.
Other suggestions would be as follows and I made an effort to keep price in mind for all of these as best as I could: Sylvan Awakening, Primal Surge (since you have so many permanents could be used to great effect, and if used alongside cards like Laboratory Maniac, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries and maybe even something like Enter the Infinite you could create a sudden win-con out of these. Remember also if you include some of my above suggestions which tutor for land those are helping ever so slightly thin out your deck for such a win con). More would include Nissa, Vital Force, Avenger of Zendikar, Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, Ulvenwald Hydra,Zendikar's Roil, Ramunap Excavator, Hour of Promise (noticed you have quite a few deserts to have a chance at the bonus effect), Lotus Cobra, Tireless Provisioner, Blackblade Reforged, Druid Class, The Mending of Dominaria, Wilderness Reclamation, Reshape the Earth, Jaheira's Respite, Meloku the Clouded Mirror (let's you repeat all your landfall effects), Retreat to Coralhelm and Praetor's Counsel.
As for actual lands:
Simic Growth Chamber, Reliquary Tower, Myriad Landscape, Scavenger Grounds, and Endless Sands.
Oh and here's my Omnath list I mentioned if you want to give it a glance. I know some of the stuff featured in this is pricey, but it nonetheless may still give you some ideas for now, or otherwise for the future:
Standby for Landfall

Hope this helps! If I had more time to spare currently I would suggest what you might cut for these things but that may have to wait for a while unfortunately. But I'll surely return to say more sometime!

Oh and all deserts you can play:
Which is 16 total, plus I guess Vesuva can count as well.
CamraMaan on Timing Q?: combat damage step, …

I have Helvault or Endless Sands in play, attack with a big creature, it gets blocked by an opponent's creature, and both will kill the other. Do I have enough time after damage is dealt to each creature to active Helvault/etc and exile my creature? Does the damage go on the stack, giving me time to respond but still deal the damage...? I want to say yes, but not sure... Thank you! :)
