Baseline to turn RG UrzaTron into a viable (hopefuly) mono G deck.

It is based upon ideas from this RG UrzaTron and this Titanless Post legacy deck.

The basic idea is to have Nature's Claim, Trading Post, and/or Oblivion Stone sac my Ichor Wellsprings and sometimes my Chromatic Stars for plenty of card draw as I approach the inevitable fatties that should end the game.

I'm hoping that the lifegain from Nature's Claim and Wurmcoil Engine, and the life loss prevention from Platinum Emperion will be sufficient to stabilize me in an aggro match. Might be a pipe dream, of course, but that's the idea.

There are a number of nice interactions possible here, such as Crucible of Worlds recurring destroyed Urza lands or Buried Ruin, which can provide a way to recur some of the artifacts like Mindslaver or Wurmcoil Engine. Trading Post also serves nicely for a similar purpose.

One of the primary win paths will be to use Sylvan Scrying or Expedition Map to pull out Eye of Ugin which the deck's ridiculous mana base will allow to then grab whichever fatty seems appropriate and hard cast it either that, or the next, turn. In some cases, it may be worth it to just sneak it out with Quicksilver Amulet though, especially earlier on in the game when mana base hasn't quite exploded yet.

I expect the deck to do reasonably well against combo, and very well against control.

Ideas that keep it mono-green and would be helpful in the Modern meta are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.
