Trying out Prime Speaker Zegana & Nylea, God of the Hunt. Might just put another Garruk instead as that card is amazing in this deck. -1 Hydra Broodmaster & -1 Prophet of Kruphix

EDIT: Nylea is great, Prime Speaker has yet to show her worth. I still think a 3rd Garruk would be better in this spot. This deck has been straight gettin' people. I'm not gonna say it's top tier (cause it's certainly not) but it's been decent.

You have a decent amount of ramp in here so you could probably get away with running 23-24 land. I also think you would benefit from some late-game card draw to keep your hand full and dropping more cyclonic rifts. Prime Speaker Zegana or Opportunity would fill that role nicely. Regardless, I like the deck and you have my +1.

The only problem with shaving lands is that the deck can be prone to awkward mana situations, especially mana screw. I agree with the need for additional card draw, so I could see going to 24 and then adding maybe a singleton Prime Speaker Zegana . I'd be afraid to go to 23 though. Thanks for your input!

Another card I forgot about is Urban Evolution . Weaker card draw, but more ramp.

Looking good. You might consider cutting 1 or 2 Prophet of Kruphix . Don't get me wrong, prophet is an amazing card, but having more than one in play doesn't do you any good. Also, running 4 Simic Charm might be a little excessive since you are already running 4 Cyclonic Rift . The hexproof can be nice but it won't protect you from Supreme Verdict . I would definitely try to fit at least one Prime Speaker Zegana in there as well ... Anyway, this looks pretty awesome. Happy rifting! ;)

I can agree with that. The main reason I have 4 Prophet of Kruphix is that I noticed how the deck just runs sooo much better with an active Prophet that I wanted to make sure I was able to draw one in every game. I could see scaling back down to my original # of 3 Prophet's. I think Simic Charm is amazing and a card that definitely belongs in the deck. 4 copies may or may not be a lot, but it has so many useful modes that I couldn't see not running it at all. I think I might shave a Hydra Broodmaster for 1 Prime Speaker Zegana but Broodmaster is definitely insane. Generally speaking, the card closes out the game the turn after it's cast, especially if I have a Cyclonic Rift in hand or a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in play. I think I may also try Nylea, God of the Hunt . Thanks for your suggestions!
