First thing I see is that there aren't any one-mana options. Akoum Hellhound can get some early pressure, or Jaddi Offshoot gives you time to develop. And Lightning Bolt is an option, too.

This is more of a personal preference, but I would use Ash Barrens or Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse over Promising Vein.

Still, this is going in a good direction. I can't call myself a Pauper expert yet, but this looks very solid.

If you're looking for a finisher, there are a couple cards that seem like they are on theme and also might get the job done. Syphon Life drains your opponent for 2, and then you can recast it by discarding lands into your graveyard. Dreadwurm is a decent beater that gains indestructible whenever you play a land, so you can swing with impunity. You can go wide with Sporemound, or go a little more vanilla beaters with Kazandu Stomper or Excavating Anurid. To make sure you can cast these guys, Skola Grovedancer, Kazandu Nectarpot, Grazing Gladehart, and Jaddi Offshoot all help you gain life to stay alive. Retreat to Kazandu can gain you life or make your little guys formidable beaters too.

Search for Tomorrow seems like a good fit. I've been pretty lucky pulling Arboreal Grazer most first turns so that always gives me immediate ramp but having more 1 mana options can't hurt.

Jaddi Offshoot is insane! I think I'm definitely adding that in asap. I feel like Courser of Kruphix is definitely a tighter strategy option than Gladeheart but I'm hesitant! In a couple of my games with this deck I've been doubling up life gain/damage with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose + Sanguine Bond and gladehearts landfall effect have really been lifesavers. However ... I have top-carded with this deck a few times already and that sucks. Might toss out the 2 Chalice of Life  ^Flip for 2 of them and see how it goes!

Cool idea! I love landfall builds :) I have a couple of thoughts as you're continuing to build and test. I would consider adding in Search for Tomorrow. Being able to suspend it turn 1 is nice, and the land enetering untapped can be a huge boost. Sakura-Tribe Elder is also fantastic for landfall. It can chump block and be sacrificed before damage to get a land.

On the flashier side, Lotus Cobra could get out of hand with Khalni Heart Expedition and Harrow and help fuel your Clay Champions even more.

For the sideboard, I would run Courser of Kruphix over Grazing Gladehart. They have the same CMC, but Courser lets you play lands from the top of your library and is out of bolt range. The extra {G} in its cost shouldn't be a problem because you're so heavily into green already. Also, take a look at Jaddi Offshoot as a one-drop life gain option.

I hope you find some of that useful! Good luck with the build!

Profet93 Great point. Honestly, I was originally going with a plant tribal theme, and Jaddi Offshoot seemed decent enough to include. Got a few cards in mind, but did you have any specific suggestions?

+1

Why is Jaddi Offshoot in here? Lifegain is very negligible in EDH. Why not add another mana dork or a land enchantment for ramp in the 1 CMC slot instead?

Hey lcarl3035, thanks for the suggestion! Druid Class is interesting. I like that it's a little harder to remove than Jaddi Offshoot since it's an enchantment and the level 2 might come in handy sometimes.

TheOfficialCreator is spot on though. Since it's usually just a race, the lifeloss from the fetches and shocks isn't a major factor. Typically the mana is better spent on crabs and extra land drops, and Jaddi Offshoot is in the board to help mitigate the life loss against matchups where damage is key.

lcarl3035 Jaddi Offshoot is in the sideboard for that reason, I think. In my playtesting of the deck, the fetch lands never really hurt enough to justify running life gain except in aggro matchups.
