Should I add some Blast Zone or Misty Rainforest to the mana base?

The game plan is simple Control the board and beat down with Murktide Regent

Some optimal plays are T1 EOT Fetch > Otherworldly Gaze > T2 Murktide Regent protected by Force of Negation

Using Otherworldly Gaze and Jace, the Mind Sculptor’s Brainstorm mode to setup Devastation Tide as a Miracle

Flashing in Subtlety to deal with stuff like Wrenn and Six then following it up with Thought Scour to mill it away.

Flashing back Think Twice or Otherworldly Gaze with a Murktide Regent on the board grow it.

Narset, Parter of Veils + Teferi's Puzzle Box is a soft lock that gives your opponent 0 cards
