I HAVE CASTED A LAND

Here is my goal of the deck.

phase 1: Cast RX on turn 3. Phase 2: cast something on turn 4 that is awesome probably somewhere in the range of 7 mana. Phase 3: Cast spells, draw cards, slam fatties, and eventually my opponent dies to excessive bouncing and hard to block sea monsters or Rx gets countered then I get board wiped, then GG.

17 May 2019: The deck has gone under some pretty good changes, I swapped out a few lands for a few mana rocks. (sol ring and Signet) Then all this happened:

Pearl Lake ancient -> Cyclonic rift. (PLA just didn't do much. good against control, but Cyclonic rift is good against any body)

Bounty of the luxra -> Baral's expertise (Bounty was real slow. expertise can remove blockers, then a 12/12 smashes your face. feels good.)

Deep-sea Kraken -> MOckery of nature (feels bad that this isn't a sea monster, but it's 9cmc (grozoth, yay!) and it blows up a thing, that I need to blow up, also can be cast for cheaper if need be.)

Verdant confluence -> Traverse the outlands (Traverse was always supposed to be in the deck, but I couldn't find my copy, and didn't want to hafta buy another, luckily my brother found it and now it's in this deck. Verdant Confluence is an aight card it's comforting to see it bc if I only have Rx on turn 3, then at least on T4 I can cast verdant and get to 9, which is the end of my curve, and plenty of mana to recast Rx. But that's still kind of a bad card. The regrowth effect is nice, in the lategame, but I've never done that really more than once. Usually it's 3x lands, or 2x lands and a sea monster. Eventually it might come back in for ley weaver, but the tutoring is so valuable.)

Grow from the ashes -> Mystic confluence. Grow just never felt good in this deck, and I want more draw power, and the ability to counter spells. it also does a third thing.

Nimbus swimmer -> plow under. I Nimbus swimmer was there for the type line. a 6cmc 4/4 flier is not what I want to be doing in this deck. Screwing up your lands? That is def something I want.

stormsurge kraken and Sealock Monster -> Negate and swan song. I really just wanted to put in some more defensive spells and some things to protect my board. I was gonna throw in an Heroic Intervention but that is an expensive card, and I have a swan song that isn't being used. and for the most part, they'll have the same function (blockers don't matter much, because of the unblockable. Also Berserk makes Rx a 24/24 a 2/2 means they take 22 cmdr damage. which is fine with me.
