JettTheDuet Planar Collapse has been really sweet for me, honestly. You can recur it pretty easily. I could probably use another board wipe as well, but this one has been a surprise to most, which is fun!

I do like the use of Planar Collapse here. I didn't even realize it was a card until now.

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 {W} 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.

Some additional detail: Planar Collapse's triggered ability is written with something called an "intervening 'if' clause". Like DreadKhan said, a trigger with an intervening "if" clause checks the condition both at the time it would trigger and when it starts resolving. If the condition isn't true at the time it would trigger then it doesn't trigger at all. If it does trigger but something changes such that the condition isn't true anymore when it starts to resolve (like in your example) then it does nothing.

Could you, for example, sacrifice Sakura-Tribe Elder to get a land with the Planar Collapse trigger on the stack? If so, would Planar Collapse still blow up with less than 4 creatures in play?

Mana rock tribal meets land destruction. I'm in :)

Impending Disaster AND Planar Collapse I like seeing both of these in the same deck. Great use of Magus of the Balance!

Mudslide and/or Smoke would be useful tax.

Pendrell Mists + Burning Sands No creatures and no lands... is this not your deck in a nutshell?

Land Tax and Seismic Assault might be useful.

Humility if you truly hate your friends.

Sevinne's Reclamation recycles a good chunk of the deck.

Made quite a lot of changes recently, ordering some better tempo cards as well. Added more mana rocks for tempo and removed some of the recursion as I don't seem to get to my big creatures fast enough to use it. Added more board wipes that work in my favor Realm-Cloaked Giant adventure saves my commander and Calamity Bearer and Realm-Cloaked Giant, and Solar Blaze saves Calamity Bearer, Capashen Unicorn, Hofri Ghostforge, Magus of the Disk, and Stinkdrinker Daredevil. False Prophet and Planar Collapse limit the amount of tiny creatures on the field.

Your current build does allow you to use Jegantha the Wellspring as a companion. Unless that changes, there's no reason not to.

For boardwipes, the obvious one is Cyclonic Rift, but it's pricey. I don't really understand the utility of Guilty Conscience except as creature removal, so something like Swords to Plowshares is probably more effective.

An interesting one is Endemic Plague, which would destroy your creatures too, but only works if you have Maskwood Nexus out. Other options are Fell the Mighty, Extinction, Magister of Worth, March of Souls, Nevinyrral's Disk, Planar Collapse, Retribution of the Meek, Sublime Exhalation. My pick besides Cyclonic is Nevinyrral's Disk, but it sometimes makes you a target. You might also consider Sedge Sliver to keep some of your slivers around.
