IN:
1x Blood Tender 1x Vryn Wingmare
1x Sunpetal Grove 1x Verdant Catacomb
Out:
1x Magus of the Moon 1x Hokori, Dust Drinker
1x Karplusan Forest 1x Snow-Covered Plains
Reasoning:
Vryn Wingmare > Magus of the Moon:
Magus of the Moon has been replaced by Vryn Wingmare for the time being. Blood Moon effects are at a primer, especially in my home meta where many 3 and 4 color combo and storm variants withing my own playgroup tend to run a mana base built around Tainted Pact. However, most of these decks get around it by either playing a plethora of color fixing shiny rocks which Magus does not stop but Wingmare does slow down acting as a 3rd Thorn effect alongside Thalia and Thorn of Amethyst.
Blood Tender > Hokori, Dust Drinker:
Blood Tender is replacing Hokori, since I simply wanted access to another dork that has the potential to not only ramp me for green but to fix my mana as well, in a four color deck there is nothing better than Blood Tender. Also, my local meta contains Alesha Stax and Paradox Sisay, both of whom overlap with me in many of our stax effects. So normally I've never had the need (or want) more than one Winter Orb effect per game, in addition to Tender being nice against opposing stax effects.
Sunpetal Grove > Karpulsan Forest:
Wanted to pain myself less and earlier and easier access to white mana.
Verdant Catacombs > Snow-Covered Plains:
Plains produces white Mana, Catacomb fetches me Byou, Overgrown Tomb, Blood Crypt, Temple Garde, Stomping Grounds, Godless Shrine, my point has been made.
Excluding Hokori and Magus are up for debate and I'm all in favor of both cards as they are excellent but I wanna try and run Wingmare and Tender for now and see where it gets me.
EDIT: Right now I'm neither Paying blood Moon nor Magus of the Moon - The mana base needs to be tweaked with basics: 4x Forests, 2x Plains 1x Swamp would be needed for the Moon Effects to be reintroduced.
