I can get GSZ #4 in there by cutting to 1 Library. Thanks for the feedback! I think my mana-base is fairly solid, based on your '14 initial sources' feedback. I have 14 green sources, 14 black, and 11 white sources. White is a little thin, but its a fairly light splash.

@Kobra_D: Loam is just a placeholder until I get a Ramanup Excavator, and the synergy is so loose with only 1 Loam that I wouldn't go there anyways. I would probably stuff in a Sejiri Steppe before that, or just maindeck the Karakas. Horizon Canopy is fine, but not Tranquil Thicket.
Yeah, if you drop loam then there isn't a real reason to have cycling lands (Canopy is nice still in top deck modes). Excavator seems to be an underrated jewel at the moment. You may also want some number of collective brutalities just because they can disrupt combo and kill DRS, both of which may be issues for your game plan in general.
