Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Yeah, Sylvan Library was one of the reasons I decided to put Pursuit of Knowledge in. :P I agree with you, though; I also had identified it as one of the weaker cards in the deck... especially now that I have Mind's Eye. We shall see...

I think I'm gonna try and get a Life from the Loam. I like that it's only 2 mana, which means I only need a couple land drops after a 'geddon to play it, and I can use it over and over if I need to (but I don't have to). I also like that it is good from the start, as a stand-alone card; it requires no other pieces. Tilling Treefolk and Cartographer require me to have said blink effects before they're even comparable to the others. It's not completely dead without a 'geddon, either, since I have 4 cycle lands, 2 (hopefully 3 soon) fetching lands, and 2 manlands.

That was what I meant. I thought I saw more blink effects in the deck, maybe I got blinded by the title. One of the only things that I dislike about EDH is that it is hard to evaluate deck lists and see what pockets of synergy are present. I even find it hard with my own decks sometimes.

+Deadwood Treefolk
+Elspeth, Knight-Errant
+Enlightened Tutor
+Eternal Dragon
+Fracturing Gust
+Gaea's Cradle
+Ghost Quarter
+Krosan Verge
+Natural Order

+Yavimaya Hollow

-Bant Panorama
-Cloudstone Curio
-Forest
-Kitchen Finks
-Masked Admirers
-Oblivion Ring
-Plains
-Prison Term
-Pursuit of Knowledge
-Seed Spark
-Selesnya Guildmage
-Shield of the Oversoul
-Twilight Shepherd

The only things that give me pause here are Selesnya Guildmage ad Twilight Shepherd. Nothing else has ever really done anything awesome for me. I'm pretty happy with all the cards I've put in. I'd still like to get Survival of the Fittest.

Decided to go up to 39 lands based on some strategy discussions I've been reading and my own experiences. With 4 cycles, 3 fetch, 2 manlands, and Horizon Canopy, I can always get rid of some if I've got too much (and can Life from the Loam them back if I need them later). Fracturing Gust just seemed necessary; I finally put it in. Gaea's Cradle isn't crazy for me, but it's better than a forest. 39 lands will also help ensure that I've got enough mana in my opening hand to cast a creature, so that the Cradle can actually produce mana for me. Ghost Quarter probably isn't necessary in my casual group, but after seeing Academy Ruins in action, it seemed like a good include (since I don't own a Strip Mine).

Should I try and make room for Glory/Brawn/Genesis? Any or all?

Did I remove any cards that make people think I'm braindead? Feedback is greatly appreciated.
:D

PS: I alphabetized my deck list to make for easier editing in the future.
