4 Thespian's Stage
1 Bojuka Bog

"eggs... why'd it have to be eggs"
karakas and 4 moxes enough white for this?
How does Solemnity work with Dark Depths?
that land is strong for us.
already good ideas bouncing around; being able to replay drop of honey is gonna be gross.
EDIT: or how about choke?
Beeing able to replay a cheaper Drop of Honey feel even better! #Porphyry Nodes
I mean, this land is maybe the thing that we missed for playing effectively white in this shell.
White sources
- Karakas
- Scattered Groves and/or Horizon Canopy
- 4 Mox
- 1 Savannah (?)
- Riftstone Portal (edit: thanks Monkey_Island)
With one Porphyry & Solemnity maindeck? And access to white in the sideboard? Can't be that bad!

Riftstone Portal is also very cool for access to white mana.
1) So, we could very well try to go heavy on white. I will test that for sure. Does someone already have a starting list? Because I remember that some people here were already testing some white splash in the deck. so the insight could help us test more efficiently.
2) On another note, this could see some plays for us, no? :
On Solemnity.
There are three cards we play with it interacts with. Positively with Chasm and Depths. Negatively with Tracker.
It also stops Walking Ballista, more or less all of Men of Steel and your opponents Depths.
It's not a solid win in, but I think it's something, with Depths and Chasm.
On the Throes of Chaos, I really really like that card.
I think I said this is the discord, but I prefer the Source, I am going to try and stay RG with main deck Wren. Current List I am testing:
Acceleration(8)
4 Mox Diamond
4 Exploration
Spells(18)
4 Life From the Loam
4 Crop Rotation
4 Gamble
3 Punishing Fire
3 Wren and Six
Lands(34)
4 Thespian Stage
4 Dark Depths
1 Verdant Catacombs
1 Misty Rainforest
1 Windswept Heath
2 Taiga
1 Sheltered Thicket
1 Horizon Canopy
1 Tranquil Thicket
4 Wasteland
4 Rishidan Port
1 Ghost Quarter
1 Tabernacle at Pendrel Vale
2 Maze of Ith
1 Blast Zone
1 Barbarian Ring
4 Grove of the Burnwillows
Sideboard(15)
3 Force of Vigor
2 Choke
3 Tireless Tracker
4 Sphere of Resistance
1 Karakas
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Ancient Tomb
I cut the utility lands and the libraries to play full into Wren, as the card makes punishing fire take down 3/5 toughness creatures and Wren also turbo charges Life from the Loam, with additional dredge triggers through cycle lands. The full 4 gamble lets you tutor for lands directly to return with either wren or loam depending on the situation.
I am not super into the GRw/GW builds at the time as needing to race most combo decks game 1 leads to 4 depths/4 gamble/straight combo but I could see a minimal white splash with the karakas main and a GW cycle land for the enchantment land and maybe 1-2 bullets.

Experimental, probably bad:
5c lands
3x Wrenn and Six
4x Mox Diamond
4x Life from the Loam
3x Punishing Fire
4x Exploration
3x Gamble
1x Faithless Looting
4x Entomb
3x Lion's Eye Diamond
3x Echoes of Eons
1x Manabond
4x Grove of the Burnwillows
4x Wasteland
4x Rishadan Port
1x Blast Zone
1x Dark Depths
1x Thespian Stage
1x Bojuka Bog
2x Maze of Ith
1x Nurturing Peatland
1x Sheltered Thicket
2x Taiga
1x Bayou
1x Volcanic Island
4x Wooded Foothills
1x Forest
3x City of Brass
1x Ghost Quarter
1x Hall of Heliod’s Generosity
Added Entomb, LED and Twisters, removed Crop Rotation and reduced the Dark Depths combo to 2 slots. Heresy? Perhaps. The idea is to dump your hand and Twist into a new hand and overwhelm your opponent's board state..
Unfortunately Solemnity also interacts unfavorably with Blast Zone. That said, I'm a huge fan of the card and will be testing it. Also love Throes of Chaos if only for the flavor, art, and effect.
This just looks sweet. I'll never not applaud a 5C Lands list. 👏
