Casual 99-Land deck; purely thematic and could be way better if it wanted to be. Win through Commander damage since no one will ever have a lasting board, win with Maze's End after getting 10/11 gate cards out with the high amount of draw/cycling this deck has, abuse Field of the Dead + Vesuva and/or Thespian's Stage to spam an incredible number of 2/2 Zombie tokens if Child of Alara is bogged down with too much commander tax, or eventually get Marit Lage out through Dark Depths and pray it doesn't get exiled.

---

This deck will struggle immensely versus mass land destruction and certain enchantments/artifacts that affect untapping permanents/lands:

Many blue cards like... Back to Basics, Exhaustion, Mana Vapors, Rising Waters, Temporal Distortion, etc...

Classic white land destruction: Armageddon, Ravages of War, Fall of the Thran, etc...

Artifacts: Winter Orb, Static Orb, Storm Cauldron, Mana Web, early Tangle Wire, etc... (This deck works wonders against Storage Matrix though.)

---

Replace: Diamond Valley, Yavimaya Hollow, Wasteland, Rishadan Port, City of Brass, Mana Confluence, and Cavern of Souls for budget options. Can also replace tricycle lands ($10~$16 each) for Khans of Tarkir/Shards of Alara wedge/enemy trilands which are all strictly inferior and can hinder a Maze's End finish (but they're less than $1 each). Mutavault can be replaced with Hostile Desert, Treetop Village, or Lumbering Falls.

If doing most or all replacement options, instead include basics + basic land fetches like Myriad Landscape, Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Blighted Woodland, Fabled Passage, and Krosan Verge. The goal with this set-up will be to thin out your deck to get better natural draws on Gate lands for a Maze's End win, instead of consistently drawing with cycling. Thinning out the deck this way is slower than cycling, and you'll be spending much more mana doing it. On the bright side, you'll get better "landfall" activations on Field of the Dead with basic fetches, but remember that this inherently clashes with Child of Alara's boardwipe effect anyways.
