capwner Journeyer's Kite was crucial in the early days of EDH.
I really didn't see that suggestion coming in a land based strategy haha Timesifter is a jelly factory! The MVP in my Volrath I've fallen, and I can't get up!
Planar Birth has been the backbone to any deck with in my 43 Lands.dec strategy. Fun card to brew around. Nostalgic Dreams/Rites of Spring are juicy additions.
Aura Fracture I'm crazier than a bag of angel dust ;) Needed a free sac outlet. Narrow but it gets the job done.
Already running a playset of land based Wrath-like effects. Planar Collapse + Hall of Heliod's Generosity, perhaps?
Profet93 good question. Your assumption turned out to be correct. "Play" and "Return" are different actions.

Profet93 You're correct, "playing a land" refers to taking the special action to put a land into play from your hand (or elsewhere if applicable). Putting a land into play as part of a spell/perm effect does NOT equate to playing a land unless that effect said "play an additional land." To stop Planar Birth you would need a card that says "permanent cards in graveyards can't enter the battlefield" (doesn't exist lol) or something to that effect, so maybe just run a Soul-Guide Lantern if you want to break parity. In my experience most people don't typically run/get many basics in their yard anyways unless you're up against something oddball like a Lumra deck.

Question: Tomik, Distinguished Advokist states that - Your opponents can't play land cards from graveyards.
Planar Birth states that "Return all basic land cards from all graveyards to play under their owners' control, tapped."
Am I correct to assume that "playing lands" and "returning lands into play" are different? In other words, if Tomik is out and he casts planar birth, enemies still get their lands, correct?

^ Endless Horizons is so good, people underrate the power of making land drops. Not even to mention the thinning. Remember when Journeyer's Kite went in every deck? OK Suffer, you already know what's coming here. All these thinning cards and scroll rack are just a whole bunch of peanut butter and it needs the Timesifter jelly. THE JELLY, MAN!!!! Planar Birth is also a pet card of mine, been meaning to try brewing with this one again. Overall this mono white lands is a very sweet concept, the only thing I might consider if having trouble keeping up would be to try running a bunch more wraths. Lands+Wraths tends to be a pretty successful formula and this build has a lot of recursion already. Aura Fracture is also crazy lol I thought I was the only one running this as tech in my Restore Balance deck but it looks like you have it as straight up removal here.

I never see it around much, but I love Planar Birth in my white mill deck. Even if I'm only ramping 2 lands, that's great, but a lot of the time I hit 5-7 plains. And the fact that it's just basics means it dodges a lot of the downside of opponents doing fetches and things.
Also, yes banding, I really love banding in a non-ironic way : ) On the rare occasion you can use banding and deathtouch together is super nice.

Personally I'd run a token generator or blink cmdr like Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward (with your choice of background) as I like the idea of using Settle the Wreckage as a ramp spell and I think it works well with him. Basri Ket and Launch the Fleet are similar effects as Abdel.
You could also use Swords to Plowshares as a Rampant Growth.
Expedition Map to get Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Kormus Bell to turn your plains into creatures which you can now flicker more easily as well and benefit on etbs.
Tomik, Distinguished Advokist is worth considering to add to the deck if you go the Kormus Bell route as your land creatures basically have hexproof now.
Additionally you could use cards like Zuran Orb or Troubled Healer in combination with Faith's Reward/Second Sunrise/Planar Birth for extra landfall triggers. If you are running the Kormus Bell combo you could use creature sac-outlets like Altar of Dementia or Phyrexian Altar. But if the sac outlets don't play into the rest of the deck you might be better of running Oswald Fiddlebender as your cmdr to ensure you get the right combination of artifacts.
Zuran Orb also pairs well with Aetherflux Reservoir.
A roundabout and rather inefficient lands-matter removal would be Soul Sculptor + Aura Fracture.
Also can't go wrong with Sun Titan + fetch lands (i.e. Fabled Passage). If you go the flicker route you can get some great value out of this. Alternatively Sevinne's Reclamation/Crucible of Worlds also work well with fetch-lands and landfall
TLDR: Landfall-Flicker or Landfall-Recursion or combination of both.
