Flagstones of Trokair couldn’t hurt. If price isn’t an issue (or you happen to own a playset), there’s really no reason to not run it.

I would like to say that a few of those suggestions a pretty good, now that I have had time to play some practice hands. I have come to the conclusion that I would rather see a basic land than the Expanse. It slows down the deck too much for my liking.

And after reviewing your suggestions, Flagstones of Trokair would definitely help against land destruct decks!

The snow covered cards and On Thin Ice are pretty cool, but I would have to make a switch out. And I do not think I can do that.

However Flagstones may just make the cut. Thanks again Balaam__

Didn’t see this mentioned in the comments, so I figure I’d chime in. First, deck looks great overall. Good job picking relevant cards that support the theme. That being said, I don’t see much value in Terramorphic Expanse other than possibly for deck thinning (?). I’d cut the playset and either just bump up the basic Plains (a couple Flagstones of Trokair wouldn’t hurt) or else opt for some removal in the form of Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares. Even swapping some basic Plains out for their snow-covered equivalents and running a set of On Thin Ice would do the trick; I’m sure Tethered Griffin and Griffin Dreamfinder endorse this.

Agree with NonetheWeisser regarding some form of proactive removal. On Thin Ice is also good, it just means switching to snow covered basics. A couple Flagstones of Trokair couldn’t hurt either.

Flagstones of Trokair would perform quite well here.

I feel like having 10 young pyromancer effects is too many because it forces you to cut down on the number of instants and sorceries. How has this been working for you in playtesting?

Why do you run Bone Shards ? Yes, you can sacrifice creatures to it but you don't really have any creatures you want to sacrifice, or any cards you really want to discard. With only four Unearth and 2 Smiting Helix , I feel like leaning this far into self discard with Lightning Axe , Bone Shards , and Thrilling Discovery is a little overboard.

Also, I think you could try adding 4x Smallpox and 4x Flagstones of Trokair and see what happens.

A cool take on D&T with a Humans subtheme. Especially like the Ranger-Captain + Mikaeus.

Not entirely sure what Flagstones of Trokair is doing here, it is basically just a basic plains that can make Blood Moon and Drown in the Loch better against you. 18 lands with no cantrips is also pretty risky with all of your three drops, you currently only have about 70% chance of hitting three lands on your third turn, meaning you're going to be playing from behind early a lot without a turn 1 Vial. If your having flooding problems just add more Silent Clearing

I'd also add a single Giver of Runes to fetch off Ranger Captain as seems good for board stalls/control even if it isn't great with the Humans, espcailly since cards like Auriok Champion and Sanctum Prelate is game over for a lot of decks.

Might also want to look at some Sanctifier en-Vec and Drannith Magistrate for the sideboard since your going to have a pretty bad Dragon's Rage Channeler and Living End matchup otherwise

Honestly I wouldn't run Syphon Life in the side unless you're running at least 4x Raven's Crime and 1x Dakmor Salvage in the main as being able to lock your opponent into discarding a card per turn is very strong in rack races, but the ability to turn that into Gaining 2 life against, say, burn, is very powerful. When I ran Smallpox 8-Rack MonoBlack, I ran 22 lands, and still found not enough, Flagstones of Trokair definitely helps a lot of that, but if you're needing lifegain, run Kaya, Orzhov Usurper , (with Rest in Peace , her Ult basically wins you the game).
