The EDH community pretty quickly zeroed in on God-Eternal Oketra's ideal combo via Bontu's Monument, Cloudstone Curio, and two zero cost creatures. I put that in as a base for the deck and then added in Odric, Lunarch Marshal-type effects, plus protection + power-boosters for Oketra herself. I noted quite a few steal effects in my groups, so keeping Oketra became more important to me than things like Scroll Rack + Land Tax. I also decided that I needed some level of assisted card draw, so there's a few cards that have a "draw card" or "scry" effect stapled onto something, even if it's not absolutely ideal.

This performs pretty well - this is nearly about as far as "white ramp" goes in terms of getting and finding lands. I rarely miss land drops, but starting off with at least 2 lands and a way to get more lands is critical. A four land hand or a five land hand is an instant-keep. I would even go with a six land hand and hope to draw something playable.

My Maybeboard is there for stax pieces that I can slot in when I go up against stronger combo decks that need to be slowed down, more board wipes, a few more bounce things, and a few combo pieces that I might put in. I also won't put in Mana Crypt or Lion's Eye Diamond because 1) I don't have them and 2) it'd push my meta beyond the happy place we're inhabiting that doesn't play much fetchlands or fast artifact mana.
