This deck is looking to play as many lands as possible and win the game via explore creatures/Lands Attacking, card advantage, or by simply burning them out in the late game. Your games should start by playing explore creatures on turns 2 & 3 to ensure your land drops and setup a good offense/defense. Hadana's Climb pairs very well with the explore creatures early and can just win you games. In the mid-game, you are looking to curve a Scapeshift into a The Mending of Dominaria (or vice versa), or a World Shaper either of which will allow you to bring lots of lands back from your graveyard. If that doesn't happen, you want to play Tatyova, Benthic Druid and maximize her ability through cards like Scapeshift, and The Mending of Dominaria. If you scapeshift with Tatyova, you want to make sure to grab the Reliquary Tower so you don't have to discard cards. If the game goes long, you can win with a giant Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar, kicked Fight with Fire, or an uncounterable Banefire. Sylvan Awakening is very useful as a fog (2/2 indestructibles block very well) or as a separate win condition if you have enough lands (gen want at least 8 lands).

The sideboard has some stuff for Control match ups(Carnage Tyrant & Banefire), for flyers/enchantments (Vivien Reid & Crushing Canopy), For lots of spot removal Shapers' Sanctuary, For Planeswalkers The Immortal Sun, and some flexible catchall in Star of Extinction, Negate & Disdainful Stroke. Metamorphic Alteration is a slot that is currently being tested, but seems good to just copy the opponents best creature or conversely turn it into something worse.

Update After Jeff Hoogland Stream — Jan. 8, 2019

Edit

After watching Jeff Hoogland play the deck on stream some important changes were made. First I added 4 Wildgrowth Walkers to the Main Board to complete the explore package. I also cut the 2 Wayward Swordtooth from the deck, and replaced them with Hadana's Climb ^Flip which is excellent with the explore creatures. To accommodate the walkers, I moved the Vivien Reids to the sideboard and cut 1 World Shaper and 1 Scapeshift from the deck. I also revisited the sideboard. Changes have been excellent so thanks Jeff for your input!!
