Thank you for the suggestions KayneMarco, I appreciate you taking the time to list some solid suggestions. I will note that I am already running some of the stuff you suggested (Zuran Orb, Need for Speed, and Constant Mists).

As I mentioned in a previous comment, I'm being pretty picky with my 5 cmc slot as casting competition with Szarel.

Of the other suggestions you mentioned, I could see a few of the following as potential swaps:

Are there any potential cuts you could suggest, or maybe stuff you've personally been iffy on from your own play experience?

As I mentioned before the deck looks pretty good as it sits. Being it’s a lands deck and having a commander that lets you play lands from the yard I do think you need to be running at least a few more extra lands per turn cards. Just gonna list the possible adds to test out. Not suggesting to use them all…unless you really want to. I run them all in every landstorm deck I build.

Some recursion ideas that are also good lands matter cards are:

Could possibly use some more sac outlets for your lands:

Possible landfall additions that could benefit the deck:

Doubling landfall triggers:

These are all cards that could add to and enhance your game plan. Pick and choose as you see fit :)

It had not been implemented yet as I was asked to try and reduce some of the complexity. I don't think I succeeded.


Tutor:

"search your library for ... card..."
"searches their library for ... card..."
"may search their library for ... card..."
"search target opponent's library for ... card ... you may"
"search target opponent's library for ... card ... that card onto the battlefield under your control"
Exception: Any string that replaces the first elipses that has the words basic, Plains, Forest, Island, Mountain or Swamp.
Exception: Any string that replaces the first elipses that has a period in it.
Exception: Any string that replaces the second elipses that starts with "s named" or " named" or " with the same name"


This should catch instances of multiple cards being tutored. Note the lack of an inclusion of a period at the end for the first three.


All instances of the word "your" can be swapped for "target player" or "each player".

Individual cards: Demonic Consultation, Divining Witch, Emergent Ultimatum, Quiet Speculation, Tunnel Vision

Individual exceptions: AEther Searcher, Boldwyr Heavyweights, Hired Giant



Mass Land Denial:

"sacrifices ... lands"
"return ... lands to their owner's hands."
Exception: If the above ... has "two" or "three" in it for any of them.

"each player ... chooses ... land(s) ... sacrifices the rest."

"lands don't untap"
"players can't untap ... land"
Exception: If the card is instant or sorcery.


All instances of the word "land" dictated as a requirement in the strings above can be swapped for "permanent".


"lands are (land subtype)."


All instances of the word land dictated as a requirement in the strings above can be swapped with "nonbasic land", "Plains", "Forest", "Island", "Mountain" or "Swamp".
All instances of the word "sacrifices" can be swapped for "destroy" or "exile".
All instances of the word "player" can be swapped for "opponent".

A global expection for all Mass Land Denial is made if "nonland" is in any elipses.

Individual cards: Desolation, Equipoise, Hall of Gemstone, Land Equilibrium, Limited Resources, Mana Breach, Mana Vortex, Overburden, Pox, Quicksilver Fountain, Sands of Time, Storm Cauldron, Tangle Wire, Temporal Distortion, Thoughts of Ruin, Wake of Destruction, Ward of Bones, Words of Wind, World Queller

Nothing is case sensitive

note that the list hasn't been implemented yet. That specific part does hit Magus, Balance and Cataclysm but doesn't hit Razia's Purification, Balancing Act nor Pox. I can add in an additional option for permanents, Pox has unique wording so will have to be manually added.

This is what I have so far.


Mass Land Denial:


"sacrifice ... lands"
"each player sacrifices ... lands"
"return ... lands to their owner's hand"

bjgivesbj on Hazezon, Shaper of Sand - Desert Warfare (v0.5)

Wow! Those are cards you had on hand? What a pile.

I was playing around with a Hazezon brawl deck before all those new utility deserts came out, and rather than graveyard recursion, I kinda had a stax/group slug/ lane destruction theme going where some key pieces included Storm Cauldron, Ankh of Mishra, and Zozu the punisher. Probably not what you were looking for, but I was also working with some cards that may overlap well with yours:

Nahiri's Lithoforming Martyr's Bond Sylvan Safekeeper Elvish Reclaimer Constant Mists Sosuke, Son of Seshiro Currency Converter Goblin Bombardment From the Ashes Molten Vortex

Also, There are a couple artifacts that just say your lands enter untapped. I can’t remember the names, but they may be worthwhile because I recall they were low CMC and so many deserts enter tapped. Anything that tells you to discard and draw is excellent, because of course, you just discard a desert and play it anyway. Pretty wild.

Anyway, looks like a fun deck. I hope your playgroup finds it just as amusing. :)

Thanks for the comment and reading the description bjgivesbj! Yeah, Forced Fruition is great at flooding people with options while simultaneously functioning as a one-sided doomsday device.

I have considered Mind's Dilation and Well of Ideas before, but I haven't included them for the same reason I haven't included Eye of the Storm, they're just a little high on the CMC. I might consider putting Mind's Dilation in, but the other two are too high cost to be that symmetrical.

I have considered Grip of Chaos, but it introduces just a tiny bit too much chaos for this deck. This deck functions best when its Disruption is reliable, and Grip of Chaos just messes with our plan too much.

Cultural Exchange might work, since often this deck doesn't care about who controls the creature (like Ian), just that they are on the battlefield. But I don't know, it might be too situational to be good. (I do use this card in my Xyris deck, great in that.)

Storm Cauldron is interesting - it means if people take lands out of a Share the Spoils or Thieves' Auction pile, that those lands would end up going back to their owner. Possibly... But this might attract too much aggro our way, without us being able to actually shut down reliable play.

Shared Fate is interesting at first, but that would just turn into everyone putting the gun to my head and exiling my library when I force them to draw a bunch (like with Forced Fruition. They cast two spells and exile fourteen cards from my library? And then cast Pongify from those cards to get seven more? HA!). It has WAY too much potential to backfire once people realize what they can do. Nope.

Hi! I can tell by the way you speak and by the cards you considered that you really love this deck! Glad to hear your playgroup enjoys it. I had never heard of Thieves' Auction before, and it looks absolutely wild. It’s fairly affordable too. Forced Fruition is another great addition too. As for as other forms of randomization, it’s too bad coin flipping has never been that good in MTG (otherwise I would recommend some coin flippage). Had you considered Mind's Dilation, Well of Ideas Grip of Chaos, Cultural Exchange, Storm Cauldron, or Shared Fate?
