4 Dark Confidant
4 Tireless Tracker

2 Scavenging Ooze
2 Reclamation Sage
Dark Confidant and Tireless Tracker are the engines to take advantage of LotV, but I also think she is more than a 1 of utility card. The mana base is super doable with 4 forests 3 swamps, 4 bayou...

Being able to ramp everyone and then clear...
At what point, if you add dark confidants and lower your curve, aren't you ruining the entire reason veteran explorer is in the deck?
My opinion has always bee veteran explorer/cabal therapy into...
