Talk about a Turn 0 wincon lmao
Meant as Leyline commander. However she works wonders as an WUBRG "experience counters matters" Commander too.
You forgot eminence or something to actually make the ability work

There's also Gemstone Caverns.
My concern here is that it's a little gimmicky--different leylines support different strategies, so it will be kind of hard to make it cohesive. Assuming 35-40 lands, there's still 32-37 other cards to fill out the deck with. I would probably go for proliferate for the experience counters, but it's still going to need a payoff if you don't hit the jackpot. 5-Color Goodstuff is always an option.
Also, how does this work in Legacy and Vintage? I know it's not the intended format, but the second ability needs to be tracked through the game. If you write down your starting permanents, you're giving away deck hints. If you don't, everyone needs to remember and agree how many permanents you started with.

For those wondering, as of now there are 17 leyline cards and 9 experience counter cards, giving you a healthy base of 26 cards to work with.
You could reasonably pad the deck with all 26 and still have plenty of room to fill out the rest.
