Hi, I was inspired by Jeff Hoogland's 4 color loam list and I figured I would come to your guys for advice on how to improve my list
Creatures
3 Dark Confidant
4 Knight of the reliquary
Spells
4 Chalice of the Void
4 Mox Diamond
3 Punishing Fire
3 Abrupt Decay
3 Life from the Loam
2 Devastating Dreams
2 Sylvan Library
3 exploration
Lands
1 Dark Depths
1 Thespian's Stage
4 Wasteland
3 Rishadan Port
1 Maze of Ith
4 Wooded foothills
3 Grove of the Burnwillows
1 Karakas
1 Riftstone portal
1 Forest
1 Bayou
1 Badlands
1 Taiga
1 Plateau
1 savannah
2 tranquil Thicket
2 forgotten cave
Sideboard
4 sphere of resistance
2 Thorn of amethyst
2 Bojuka bog
1 Crop rotation
1 The Tabernacle at Pendrell vale
3 Krosan Grip
2 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
The basic plan is to use Exploration and Mox diamond to start establishing a lock early, and being able to put a chalice on 1 every game seems powerful. I will admit the riftstone portal is cute, and kind of a recent addition but since I have so many way to get rid of it with the mox and the dreams
The main deck has a pretty good mana denial package with the ports and the wastelands with the Loam recursion. The board lets me pretend that I am playing a mud deck for some fast spheres and other spells that make their spells less efficient.
The numbers are just where I am starting, and probably need some work, but besides that I would love to hear your thoughts
