Hey there! I'm usually the land and ramp helping guy, and you wrote that is one of your issues, so here, I hope I'll be able to clear that up a little bit. Let's start off with lands.

I see shock lands, fetch lands, and of course horizon lands, along with a few stand alone multicolor lands. Not bad! Keep ALL the shocks, and keep ALL the fetches. Fetches can search for shocks and shocks are really good. Usually I like to recommend filter lands (like Mystic Gate) or fast lands (such as Seachrome Coast). Horizon lands are also some of my all time favorites, but playing four of magics colors can be quite tough. For three, four, and definitely five colors, I usually recommend more multicolor lands. Your average CMC is also quite high, so maybe 1-2 more lands would be pretty good if you think you can. That said, consider some of the following lands.

• Mana Confluence
• Ancient Tomb
• Forbidden Orchard
• Maybe Gemstone Mine
• Maybe Gemstone Caverns
• All black decks should also include Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
• Wasteland or Strip Mine?
• Tarnished Citadel
• Maybe Reflecting Pool?
• Now here's an interesting idea. Atraxa proliferates, so what if you based some lands around this as well? Things like Aether Hub, Mirrodin's Core, Tendo Ice Bridge, now suddenly can be used much more than once with Atraxa. Maybe worth a shot no?

So basically, consider much more things that can add a color of your choice, they give you much more options! The other lands are very good too, so you have to decide which one would be more beneficial in your opinion, though to me, I would cut Horizons and triomes for the ones I mentioned.

That said, let's move on to some ramp! Arcane Signet, Chromatic Lantern, and Sol Ring are pretty good, but I might have some you find better. Green is amazing for ramp, so by adding amazing green ramp spells, not only are you now getting the best ramp options, but also you are evening out the color pi for your deck! Consider some of the following

• Birds of Paradise
• Burgeoning
• Exploration
• Nature's Lore
• Three Visits
• Bloom Tender (It taps for FOUR mana with your commander out!)
• Lotus Petal
• Noble Hierarch
• The Medallions, Emerald Medallion, Pearl Medallion, Jet Medallion, and Sapphire Medallion
• Land Tax

• Oracle of Mul Daya

• These are all so AMAZING. There's also the fact that charge counters can work for ramp too. Astral Cornucopia, Shrine of Boundless Growth, Coalition Relic, etc. I;m sure there's a lot I'm missing, so you may want to look into charge (or Other) counter ramp.

• In the end, I would pretty much consider some more multicolor lands like City of Brass, lands that work with proliferate, some more green ramp like I mentioned, and maybe some ramp that works with Atraxa's Proliferate ability as well! If you find any of this helpful be sure to check out, upvote, and give me suggestions on some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH, The x Files EDH, and many more! Anyways though, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!!! Happy tapping!

Stardragon on One Mana Drop deck

Cmi1103- I thought about Burgeoning and Exploration but in the end with everything being 1 cmc desided i didn't need ramp but my side i filled with ramp in case im wrong

JimboRich- I forgot about the Baubles yeah will have to see if can squeeze them in there're nice as for Mana Crypt not sure if my friend will be making this deck and what his budget is but i'll throw into the maybe section for now

enpc- i though about Helix Pinnacle as an alt win con in fact was on edge on adding it a little while ago so it will most likely end up in it i'd give it a 97% chance

Necropotence, Birds of Paradise, Exploration, Burgeoning, Bloom Tender, Swan Song and Three Visits are all good to run. Especially the ramp.

Ah nice deck! I have a couple of suggestions you might appreciate. The first one revolves around your lands and ramp. Personally, I believe the following should have a spot in your deck.

• Wooded Bastion
• Windswept Heath
• Fortified Village
• Horizon Canopy
• Brushland
• Razorverge Thicket

• Bountiful Promenade

• I also like to run some multi lands, and if you want to try that out too, I would consider the following

• City of Brass

• Exotic Orchard
• Ancient Tomb
• Mana Confluence
• Fabled Passage
• Yavimaya Hollow
• Reflecting Pool
• Prismatic Vista
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns
• Wasteland

• Strip Mine

• There is also the concept of ramp! Some ramp I always love to run are

• Birds of Paradise
• Burgeoning
• Exploration
• Nature's Lore
• Lotus Petal
• Oracle of Mul Daya

• Land Tax

• Now usually lands are ramp are my expertise, but I happen to be building an emiel deck as well! Because of that I have some suggestions that you might find interesting. So first off, Brood Monitor goes infinite with emiel! When it enters, you get three eldrazi tokens which you can sacrifice for . You use that three to flicker the brood monitor with emiel, and get another three tokens which you can use to flicker it again. This gives you infinite enter the battlefield triggers. If you have your Soul Warden or something better, this can gain you infinite life. Another thing that can go infinite is if you use Ashnod's Altar. Any creature that creates 2+ tokens, with the Altar, and Emiel gets you infinite as well! If the creature creates three or more tokens when it enters, you also get infinite tokens. The possibilities here are limitless! If you have Aura Shards you destroy all your opponents artifacts and enchantments, if you have something that makes them lose life, or mill, that's also infinite. You can just go crazy and win fast. Some cards that create 2+ are....

• Avenger of Zendikar

• Regal Caracal
• Hornet Queen
• Geist-Honored Monk
• Deep Forest Hermit
• and many others!

Anyway, there are many ways to go infinite with Emiel, and I recommend checking them out if your into that sort of thing. Also do consider the land and ramp options, they could help you out a ton! If this does help you out be sure to check out some of my decks, (Double Trouble EDH), upvote them if you like them, and give me feedback if you want! Anyways, I hope this helps you out, good luck on your deck, (unicorns are amazing!) and have a great day!

@ jaymc1130: Thanks for your comment and your recommendations. One of the main issues is, that Mystic Sanctuary needs atleast 3 or more Islands on the battlefield and this deck has only 5 Islands in total. In order to be able to play this combo effectively, you have to build the deck more around landfall. I really like this combo and I'll build a matching decklist, the problem with this is, that it takes up a lot of slots and cards like Exploration, Burgeoning & Summer Bloom are only good with enough lands. If you don't have enough lands, these cards are just dead draws, especially in a cEDH-deck with only 31 lands.

You might consider finding some slots for the Mystic Bloom combo, one of the absolute most powerful competitive concepts available to Sultai lists.

The heart of the combo involves Summer Bloom, Squandered Resources, Ramunap Excavator, Mystic Sanctuary, and Waterlogged Grove (Some of these pieces are interchangeable with others). The combo bypasses the vast majority of meta hate pieces, doesn't require the commander, is relatively easy to assemble, and rewards pilots for playing it's various pieces early for value outside of being a full fledged infinite combo allowing cuts for various cards that would otherwise be completely dead outside of being a combo element (Walking Ballista type pieces) or are extremely risky combo lines in the most competitive settings (Demonic Consultation type lines). Infinite mana and infinite deck looping all in one package allows much greater card slot efficiency and enables cards that would already be run such as Ashiok, Dream Render, Assassin's Trophy, and Swan Song to be utilized as win conditions. Complementary pieces (such as Exploration, Burgeoning, or Dryad of the Ilysian Grove) to the Mystic Bloom combo package also reward pilots with extremely consistent, versatile, and accelerated game play patterns as well as additional control options in deck configurations that make use of Strip Mine to soft lock or hard lock opponents out of developing board states at all.

Certainly a set up worth consideration for competitive Sultai lists in the current meta given the extreme power level of the concept.

I would consider much more ramp and a couple more switches for lands. From what I see (I apologize if I'm wrong) but the only reason you need that many basics is due to Cultivate. If cultivate was replaced with something better, you could thus remove some basics (not all of course) and have slots for improved lands. Here are some things that your deck could really benefit from- Ramp wise. I would recommend adding 2-5

• Three Visits
• Nature's Lore
• Exploration
• Burgeoning
• Lotus Petal
• Birds of Paradise
• Bloom Tender
• Emerald Medallion
• Jet Medallion

As for lands, some of the following might prove to be EXTREMELY useful for you, and I would consider each and every one of them

• Ancient Tomb
• Blooming Marsh
• Llanowar Wastes
• Woodland Cemetery
• Nurturing Peatland
• Twilight Mire
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Exotic Orchard
• Reflecting Pool
• Prismatic Vista
• Gemstone Caverns
• Gemstone Mine
• Tarnished Citadel

Having good ramp and lands can be very important in commander, and for the ramp you may lose some other slots in your deck, but in the end, I can guarantee it will be worth it! Anyways, if this does help be sure to check out (and upvote if you like :) some of my decks, Double Trouble EDH, The X Files EDH, etc! Hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!

Kaleo42 on Lost and Confused with cEDH Rashmi

Updated list finally, but still a work in progress.

+Tamiyo, Collector of Tales, Shark Typhoon, Spellseeker, Tale's End, Fierce Guardianship, Return to Nature, Arcane Signet, Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath, and Mystic Sanctuary

-Exploration, Mystic Remora, Back to Basics, Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir, Unwind, Thought Vessel, Seal of Primordium, Walk the Aeons, matched the fetches to the ones I actually physically have in the deck.

Playing less turns spells as they were too large of commitments and brick draws early on and the addition of sharknado means I have another viable and versatile wincon.
