I love the idea of the deck! I think I'll try it myself!

Do you plan to improve on your mana base? Myself, dry-playtesting, I find it missing Swamps in most cases. The most mana-demanding Murderous Rider and its Adventure takes 2x with CMC=3, whereas any spell that demands 2x is only at CMC=4 and higher.

I think you could and swap additional Plains into Castle Locthwain. Fabled Passage should find its place here too. This, with a full set of Temple of Silence instead of Scoured Barrens will help with the late game mana flood!

What do you think?

Kudos fellow papa Karl player!
My build is rather casual but here is an advice that I have:

• Use all the lifelands you can jam in (that of course would not run your mana flow too bad) like: Glimmerpost, Kabira Crossroads, Scoured Barrens, Radiant Fountain. Even Orzhova, the Church of Deals may help. Every single lifegain trigger counts, so why not?

Hey there mate! From what I see, you have all three shock lands (Pay 2 on ETB), all the filter lands (Pay X/Y get combination) and the check lands (ETB tapped unless X/Y). These are all great lands, but I think almost everything else can get a nice sweet upgrade. Note some of my suggestions may not be in your budget

• Blackcleave Cliffs
• Concealed Courtyard
• Inspiring Vantage
• Bloodstained Mire (Budget: Rocky Tar Pit
• Marsh Flats
• Arid Mesa
• Sulfurous Springs
• Caves of Koilos/Silent Clearing
• Battlefield Forge/Sunbaked Canyon
• Luxury Suite
• Vault of Champions
• Spectator Seating
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista (A better Evolving Wilds)
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Strip Mine/Wasteland (A better Ghost Quarter)
• Gemstone Caverns

• Glacial Chasm (For Pillowfort?)

• Now I know that is quite a lot, but don't worry- I have an idea. I personally believe all of the following could and should be cut for some of the suggestions below, as you progress with your deck. Akoum Refuge, Bloodfell Caves, Evolving Wilds, Ghost Quarter, Nomad Outpost (Maybe Savai Triome instead?), Opal Palace, Scoured Barrens, Smoldering Marsh (it's only good in decks heavy with basics), Wind-Scarred Crag, etc!

• For ramp, Lotus Petal, Land Tax, and Dark Ritual can be pretty fun too.

• Hope this helps! If you like my suggestions be sure to support some of my decks (Double Trouble EDH *PRIMER*). Anyways though, hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day! Happy tapping!

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! A few of them I had considered in the past, but I will go through all of them and weigh my options again (since I am terribly indecisive and not great at considering synergies lol).

I actually have both Vindicate and Mortify and I also have Scoured Barrens and Weathered Wayfarer as well.

Your land suggestions were what I needed the most so thank you again XD

Hey there! Maybe consider some of the following for your manabase

• Marsh Flats (Can tutor for Godless Shrine)
• Concealed Courtyard
• Cabal Coffers (Cabal stronghold
• Silent Clearing
• Vault of Champions
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland (Field of ruin upgrade)
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns

• Scoured Barrens (For the lifegain trigger?)

• For ramp, you might like some of the following

• Land Tax
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Jet Medallion
• Pearl Medallion
• Weathered Wayfarer

• Dark Ritual

• Besides your mana base you may like some of the following

• Vindicate instead of Mortify
• Necropotence/Bolas's Citadel since you its lifegain based
• Also cut skullclamp- you don't have too many 1/1's.
