you could use a singleton of Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and remain 3 colors honestly. You have Faith's Reward to bring it back if removed, and you shouldn't really be playing it unless you have to honestly. It also can clear boards instead of going straight face like Sunscorched Desert is restricted to, so it can be useful even without infinite triggers.

I'd definitely consider it as a one-off even without adding red, but it would require a few Dryad of the Ilysian Grove to make it work.

To fit it in, I'd say your best bet would be to change up your manabase a little to make room. It still looks quite tight because you need a certain amount of basics for Harrow and a certain amount of Plains for the overall theme of the deck. You might be able to cut the manabase down to like 26, and change some 4x to 3x that are underperforming/bad as multiples.

That would let you potentially replace Sunscorched Desert with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle.

Animist's Awakening is really good if you can make its spell mastery cost work. It sort of fights with Faith's Reward though.

Necrosis24 on Using the graveyard as a …

When I first got into edh I didn’t want to discard or sacrifice my permanents, but after changing my Chromium, the Mutable into a Varina, Lich Queen deck I have grown to love messing with my graveyard and am okay with exiling cards permanently as well.

Some of my favorite interactions have come thru using Altar of Dementia with Faith's Reward sacrificing my board to mill out an opponent then bringing it all back for some etb triggers with Binding Mummy or Noxious Ghoul.

Recently built Kathril, Aspect Warper which utilizes self-mill and recurs all my creatures with Odric, Lunarch Marshal each creature is to be feared.

You can lose everything to a Tormod's Crypt or Leyline of the Void but overall having graveyard recursion makes me less worried about protecting my pieces, so I can sometimes make seemingly unfavorable plays that actually benefit me in the long run.

I really like the unique, tribal-focus you went with; I don't think I've ever seen that with Odric at the helm!

I've been wrecked by an Archangel of Thune many, many times and it seems like it could do some serious work here too! If Odric is out, Archangel would give all your creatures lifelink and could make some serious +1+1 counters!

Do you have issues with sweepers/board wipes? I play a lot of creature-based decks and that's always a hurdle I encounter. If you do, Cauldron of Souls, Faith's Reward, or Second Sunrise could help save your creatures!

Your deck also looks amazing how it is though! I figured I would put out some ideas, in case they were interesting :)

Assuming you are going for an aggro strategy some cards:

1. Coastal Piracy
2. Reconnaissance Mission
3. Drogskol Reaver (Although it has a high cmc it does play into Akroma's ability)
4. Midnight Pathlighter
5. Odric, Master Tactician

Some recursion cards to protect against an oncoming boardwipe:

1. Faith's Reward
2. Promise of Tomorrow
3. Cosmic Intervention

If you are unsure about expensive cards you can always proxy them to test them out in the deck before committing to buying them. I'd also recommend using custom categories to sort the cards in the deck makes it easier to visualize the purpose of each card and how many similar cards you have for synergy.

How about Gerrard, Weatherlight Hero (not a god but matches Sisay and is awesome recursion to boot) and Faith's Reward (very god-theme card)?

Have you tried maybe like 1x of Faith's Reward as a Brought Back on crack? (damn that rhymed though)

Also have you considered splashing green for Splendid Reclamation and maybe Knight of the Reliquary + Harrow ?
