Courser Of Kruphix? >> Oracle Of Mul Daya?

Courser of Kruphix 's ability doesn't allow for a second land play each turn where as the Oracle of Mul Daya does so it's much better for landfall especially when that means being able to play two fetchlands a turn

Yeah. I guess that does make sense. Sure, just a thought!

i was testing with him for a little while but more for the life gain aspect. It's a good card as it's a combination of Lifegift & Into the Wilds on a creature that's out of bolt range but the trostani covers the life gain far better with the option to populate and the oracle's extra land play puts things over the top. There's still plenty of deck testing to do in trying to find the right balance between the cards, also i'd like to eventually see what i can do by splashing other colours instead of the white. Would keep the deck fresh and my local meta on their toes for what to sideboard lol

haven't put a sideboard up as it's pretty subjective to everyone's meta so all i'd be able to do is make suggestions based on the decks weaknesses which involve Leyline of Lifeforce , Beast Within for all round removal and Emeria Angel against flyers with great deck synergy.

Leyline Of Lifeforce is amazing.

Nice to see the new interactions going on here. Perhaps Azusa, Lost but Seeking over Oracle of Mul Daya ? That can go especially well with Knight of the Reliquary and Crucible of Worlds .

sorry i haven't replied been very busy. a couple months ago i had a go at making a selesnya version of the deck which went for a Knight of the Reliquary - Sun Titan combo for the landfall triggers but that was when the deck make up was quite different and i hadn't come across Crucible of Worlds yet. So i thanks for reminding me about the knight, will try work one in somewhere for sure. As for Azusa, Lost but Seeking she's a good shout but i don't think i'll take her over the oracle for a couple reasons. First Azuza relies on my land being in my hand to be of any use or for for me to have a crucible with land in the graveyard, which admiralty is an objective of the deck but non the less still a drawback i.e relying on the board state to be of use. Second the Oracle's ability to reveal the top card of my deck provides an extinction of my hand, potentially i can play two land off the top of my deck with her in play and know what i'm going to draw into influencing what i play that turn or whether i should +1 garruk etc. I'm not saying no to Azuza as it doesn't hurt to deck test her despite the misgiving i have but for the forceable future she'll stay in the maybe section for this deck i think.

came across Xenagos, The Reveler at a tournament today and it's such a win in this deck! immediately traded for him lol solves my problem of juggling cards into that one open slot as well, the ramp off that plus one will get pretty stupid in here, the zero ability is good if just drawing dorks/land, the ultimate is perfect

White has plenty of removal. If you're looking for something cheap, I would go with Path to Exile or Swords to Plowshares .

You could put Panglacial Wurm in for a potential turn 2 win I since you have fetch lands

when it says play you have to cast as you would any spell it only relates to the timing, essentially giving it flash while you're searching your library. Otherwise it would be banned it every format, perhaps even EDH
