Creature — Snake

Landfall — Whenever a land enters under your control, you may add one mana of any colour.

Sure thing. The good news is that a typical landfall deck is on the cheap side if you ever wanted to gather the cards for real, and it’s pretty straightforward to play. For something basic, you’ll want to look at cards like Ruin Crab and Hedron Crab. They’ll be your Turn 1 plays. Lotus Cobra is good for mana fixing, and Courser of Kruphix helps keep you afloat. Something big like Rampaging Baloths is good to close out the game with.

Supporting spells look something like Groundswell and Ior Ruin Expedition, stuff that pumps your creatures or fills your hand etc. Countermagic is always viable too, to help shut down whatever your opponent’s strategy is.

Take these as examples of how to build toward a goal rather than someone telling you what cards to add. In the end, you’ll want to make something yourself that suits you. Figure out what works best in your playgroup and what doesn’t. If Landfall isn’t cutting it, try a different direction. There are tons of good sites and apps and such that allow you to search by keyword to help find cards you may not even know exist, cards that might be just what you’re looking for.

Lol it happens to everyone. I normally would say to add a land given it's an Azusa deck but I run both Kozileks and in my build, they are powerhouses, particularly distortion. Being able to be the blue player and bluff interaction is powerful. You should have seen the look on their face when I countered their pact of negation with a forest. Not to mention the name of the build. Im shocked you're running 11drop ulamog instead of it. I get the removal aspect but with out usually reads, pay 11, destroy a permanent and have an opponent use removal to shuffle ur gy or exile it. Even worse if they destroy it in an attempt to recur lands (through spells as opposed to State Based Actions).

I used to run seek the horizons but as my deck thinned, I found Scapeshift to be a more powerful spell that still works well early game. Given all the land recursion, you can bring the lands back, get additional value and trigger landfall more easily.

Lotus Cobra - Synergy, powerful with scapeshift + others.

Greater Good - Sac outlet that prevents exile, theft and can fill ur yard with lands to recur. It might not be worth it given only 10 creatures can really benefit from it. It is nice to use on ur eldrazi in response to grave hate. Worth noting although not a serious suggestion.

Have you considered swapping out Primordial hydra with another potential wincon or better yet more draw?

Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, Omnath, Locus of Rage, Zendikar's Roil, the new Chocobo Racetrack, or something similar

Perilous Forays
+
Amulet of Vigor, Earthcraft, Lotus Cobra, or something similar

(I run this combo in my Omnath, Locus of Rage deck. If he is out, he also burns the table when the Elementals die)

i don't like Lotus Cobra and Exploration here as they're utility landfall cards that I can't fully leverage (I have no landfall payoffs). Also I've decided to take the tron approach with this deck (an old modern deck from yore that I'm familiar with), hence you might have noticed the increase in board wipes

I treat Reshape the Earth as a second copy of Boundless Realms, in the sense that it gives me lots of land even without the commander in play (getting utility nonbasics with it is a great perk), ramp up to eldrazi and towards the combo (did you notice that I have an infinite combo here? xD) and it also serves as a damage boost when I swing in for commander damage

i don't want to use Ancient Tomb because i intend to stay in bracket 3 and i only have 3 game changers to work with.

Speaking of which, make a wild guess what Ulvenwald Hydra, Terastodon, and Rise of the Eldrazi are supposed to be :)

Oh yeah, i believe it'll happen

Ancient Tomb > Temple of False - Ramp

Lotus Cobra - Ramp

Reshape the earth usually works best with utility lands. Not sure if you run enough to warrant it as it is a high cmc card and you already run hour of promise for a similar effect that you can cast much earlier.

With all the extra lands, have you considered adding an Exploration type of effect, especially in the start of the game?

I love how your deck just ramps so hard. Have you considered adding some removal in the form of Beast Within or even a Song of the Dryads? The latter works very well against black or red commanders who struggle with enchantment removal.

AstroAA: while Aluren is a good idea the deck is already capable of doing so without it due to Lotus Cobra and Tireless Provisioner. Will also be adding Nissa, Resurgent Animist when I get one to make the combo that much more accessible. Aluren can also bite me in the ass just as easily given opponents can combo off with it as well. I do run aluren in my Chulane deck however for virtually the same reason you suggested it. Instead of playing all my lands I draw my deck lol.

Crucible of Worlds/Conduit of Worlds/Ramunap Excavator - Recursion for fetch lands. Those are your easiest ways to stack energy. Maybe even a Splendid Reclamation, but that's a bit much.

Lotus Cobra - Gas!

Azusa, Lost but Seeking/Exploration/Burgeoning - Extra land drops needed to utilize energy

Boseiju, Who Endures - Removal

Yavimaya Hollow - Regen/politics

Cryptic Caves - Draw, reuseable with crucible effects

Prismatic Vista > Terramorphic, budget permitting

Castle Garenbrig - Ramp

Would really recommend Lotus Cobra; just an awesome bit of additional mana whenever you drop a land. I also really like Harvest Season; perfect to cast after an attack.
