I can't believe that I didn't get any upvotes so I guess I'll write a description!

Amazing deck with tons of removal spells, incredible card synergy, and really big beaters on the ground which can end up being 8/8s by turn 5-6 if your opponent doesn't use removal. Every creature you play demands a response.

There is so much card advantage synergy between Stocking the Pantry Enter the Unknown and Tireless Tracker that might never even run out of cards.

The multipurpose nature of Archdruid's Charm in a deck with all Landfall creatures is key, because it can also act as removal (while adding a counter, which triggers Hardened Scales and Stocking the Pantry,) and its cool to be able to keep enchantment/artifact answers in the main board. Having only one copy of Kutzil, or Kodama, and being able to search the library for them in the late game is a massive bonus too.

Enter the Unknown can draw you a land, you play it as the additional land, and then you can trigger landfall, which means that it adds a counter no matter what is on the top of your deck.

The two big 2-drop creatures Fearless Fledgling and Bristly Bill, Spine Sower are so threatening on turn 4 and later due to Hardened Scales and Fabled Passage that you could potentially just win immediately.

I think Tyvar's Stand may be better than Heroic Intervention because of the lack of a need for 2 mana. Heroic Intervention seems like a card that you bluff to not even have it, but then use it in the late game to counter a board wipe. Tyvar's Stand you could use as early as turn 3.
