Souls of the Lost could be a nice one that I don't see on your list! I might also consider replacing Bone Shards with another killspell (maybe more Fatal Push or Sheoldred's Edict?) the sorcery speed can be a big downside when trying to interact vs. something like Ephemerate. I think Detective's Phoenix can be really good but it is a little bit awkward here since you want to add Troll and Street Wraith which don't really synergize with the rest of the deck. Spymaster's Vault is another pretty free one that could work with the sac stuff. Perigee Beckoner may also be worth consideration, this card combos with itself and a sac outlet for infinite sacs, the black sac pauper deck uses it. Cool idea and gl with the brew!

DragonMaster420 I think an Ephemerate package is cute but I'd probably drop a bit more of my low cost interaction suite to jam it.

I've tried Skyclave in the past and didn't like it. I swapped in the Emergency Ejects because they hit anything, are instants, can be cast off only 1 White pip, and most people run few basics as it stands and that's kinda my whole game plan.

Aven Interrupter and Esper Sentinel seem like neat includes depending on your meta. Maybe Interuptor goes in with the Ephemerate package for Reprieve, Beza, the Bounding Spring and an Eject?

I did already include 2 Orim's Chant in the Board as well as Disruptor Flute and Damping Sphere in the Karn board.

DarkKiridon: Ephemerate is definitely better than Cloudshift. I -think- I have one, I'll definitely have to swap those out. Thanks!

As for Avatar's Wrath...I'm not sure -how- deep I want to lean into the blink strategy. I have the blink cards in there mostly for the quick saving a creature when it's direly important to keep one creature safe from removal.

Thoughts on replacing that Cloudshift with Ephemerate?

Not sure if you have a stance on UB cards but Avatar's Wrath could be interesting in the build.

You can't Chord of Calling or Green Sun's Zenith for a Regrowth. Most green decks are built to leverage The Great Henge more than, say, Whirlwind of Thought. That's why Eternal Witness has become massively more popular in EDH than Regrowth ever could. You can Ephemerate, Reanimate, Heat Shimmer or Clone your Eternal Witness, while Regrowth has a lot less ubiquitous synergy pieces.

Weirdly enough, Snapcaster Mage never became as popular, even though the utility is very similar; a 2/1 human creature that grabs something from your graveyard to reuse. I think if Snapcaster were more popular, Regrowth would be as well.

Ok, I did some more playtesting against a wall and made quite major ovehaul.
When I was trying the Ephemerate it seemed like a card that was made for this deck as it protects and draws at the same time for a measly cost of one mana. And when not used as protection it draws more than any other beast while also enabling you to choose which ETB you want to repeat. Only it´s white and is not a creature. The not creature thing is quite painful when playing Winding Way, and it was my least favourite card from the deck, now I am trying Manamorphose instead. It is great in getting the right mana for your off color cards while drawing you a card, but the keepability of your hands suffered quite a bit along with the likelihood of non-beast/mana screw. I am not quite sure if it is better than before, but it is imho better prepared for removal and when you go off it feels like it fizzles less.
But the rainbow lands kinda enables you to play any color now, so I will try to find something really powerful in other colors. Anyway I am far from final version of this. Sideboard is more of an idea than a thought-out list.

Ok, I added the Selesnya Sanctuary. I thought that I can make mana of multiple color from the Metamorphosis, which is not the case. I also added Ephemerate as an protection spell, and as this is almost never a dead card I am running two main board. Also the Crumbling Vestige works with Sanctuary and Arboreal Grazer pretty well for producing red in the big turn. I think it´s better than Lotus Petal, because it stays on the board afterwards. When i kept a hand with the petal before I had some draw elf on board one turn earlier, but I was struggeling with mana afterwards more often than not.
I am still not sold on Nylea's Forerunner in the main board as it is one more card that I really don´t want to see in my opening hand And there is not that many decks in current meta that would have many blockers and are pushing so aggresivelly. Maybe I need to loose some games to this and will change my mind :-D
