Design philosophy: Try to resolve a second turn Argothian or card engine still, but ditch the creature playing
and splash for black for tutor effects to maximize chanches of finding the engine.
Include silver bullets, but be mindful of too narrow cards (Gelid Shackles = Creatures only vs.
Oblivion Ring = Everything). Grind value with Loam.

Legend:
 1: part of the initial build (Created)

-1 Parallax Wave (horrible against control)
-1 Sphere of Safety (horrible against control)
-1 Scroll Rack (w/ Land Tax & Orb = card engine)
-1 Gaea's Blessing (not needed as don't have Oath in deck)

-1 Form of the Dragon (no Enduring Ideal)
-1 Enduring Ideal
-1 Fertile Ground (Nylea's Presence and Urban Utopia are better)
-1 Trace of Abundance
-1 Overgrowth (doesn't accelerate on critical first turn)
-1 Mistveil Plains (not needed)
-1 Dust Bowl(does not contribute to design philosophy's strategy)

-1 Noble Hierarch
-1 Avacyn's Pilgrim
-1 Neoform (not enough creatures for this)
-1 Eldritch Evolution

-1 Earthcraft (do I have enough creatures for this, any combos)
-1 Peace of Mind (terrible against control. Needed against aggro? Discard outlet for Replenish)
-1 Oath of Ghouls (is there a combo for this. Then again, too few creatures for this)
-1 Oversold Cemetary (or for this, which creatures?)
-1 Animate Dead (not really great)
-1 Ground Seal (Silver bullet, Wrecks: Loam and Mistveil Plains)
-1 Squirrel's Nest (combos with Earthcraft, Opposition. Produces chumb blockers. But since Earthcraft cut, this has to go too).
-1 Erebos, God of the Dead (good against control, but not space)
-1 Demonic Pact (can I somehow always remove this? With Seals?)
-1 Nether Void (if I can produce tons of Mana, can I?)

-1 Phyrexian Arena (difficult mana cost)
?1 Idyllic Tutor (too costly?)
-1 Legion's Landing (enough creatures/token generators for this to flip?)
-1 On Thin Ice (not enough snow-covered lands, now that Tainted Pact is in)
+1 Helm of Obedience (as the Leyline is in the deck, as is Rest in Peace (L))
+1 Prayer of Binding (L) Better than Cast Out
