Dark Depths ASAP.

Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon cause Dark Depths to come into play as a Mountain with no counters, so if you get rid of either with Crack the Earth, Swords to Plowshares, or Claws of Gix (which has the add bonus of being able to be tutored with Enlightened Tutor), you’ll get Marit Lage. Thespian's Stage can copy Dark Depths, Legend rule the original out, then sacrifice the Thespian's Stage for the trigger. Manamorphose, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, and Lotus Petal can be used to drop Vampire Hexmage which can remove the counters from Dark Depths. I would consider running more Enlightened Tutors if I had them. Solemnity can cause Dark Depths to trigger as soon as it comes in, but you shouldn’t play it until the turn you will play Dark Depths because if they have enchantment removal, they won’t have time to get rid of Solemnity between you casting it and playing a land because you have priority, and because playing a land does not use the stack they can’t prevent Dark Depths from triggering if Solemnity resolves.

There is definitely room for improvement, but Crack the Earth is amazing in this build, as it not only helps get Marit Lage, but also hurts your opponent in the early turns. The Sideboard is made up of cards I had on hand at the time, and I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.
