I once used the Seismic Swan deck as a binder for my beautiful UR dual lands. Now I realize this deck would be an even better binder.

Did a little bit calculation, while goldfishing 32% of fizzling (including mulligan to 0 and not drawing enough land for Lightning Storm), 6% Turn 3 Kill, 20% Turn 4 Kill, and all other 42% is a guaranteed Turn 5 Kill. All those kill turns get -1 when you are on draw and have Gemstone Caverns in opening hand. (Turn 2 Kill on draw is really sweet, <2.5% though.)

Opponent's possible interaction will be discard and counter. We need to draw and play Nephalia Academy or Boseiju, Who Shelters All accordingly, or we lose.

Sideboard plan: Bojuka Bog for free graveyard hate, Detection Tower for Leyline of Sanctity, Seismic Assault to evade Meddling Mage and kill creatures if needed. Also it has a lower percentage to fizzle in slower matches (since you don't need to draw all lands at once). Nephalia Academy or Boseiju, Who Shelters All can be boarded out if opp is not black / blue, and Gemstone Caverns boarded out when on play. Secret sideboard plan is to board out Treasure Hunt and Lightning Storm into Countryside Crusher and Laboratory Maniac after opp boarded out all creature removals for Dispels and Spell Pierces.
