And why that mana base with no fetches?

Thanks.

And why that mana base with no fetches?

Because I just never found them entirely useful. I considered it but realised that most of the time that's just another card in the deck that doesn't need to be there.

so how does this combo?

Get {protean hulk} in the GY, reanimate with {footsteps of the goryo}, when hulk dies you put 4 {hedron crab} and 4 {dryad arbor} into play for 48 card mill.

I also get 1 Sakura Tribe Elder for 52 card mill. That is how I end games

I think this is the second deck I've seen with a hulk combo. Needless to say, I'm sold on the idea. Lol.

The first one was probably also mine

I highly recommend fetch lands. They will assist in the self-mill (I assume that's what the crab does?) and fix your color issues when it comes to mana. On top of that, they will also do a little bit of thinning. I know that the amount that they thin is very slim, but after fetching only twice, you've already removed 2 additional lands from your deck, which helps improve your draws. It will also help you grab your {Dryad Arbor}s easier rather than just naturally draw them.

EDIT: Just read the other comments and understand Crab and Arbor now. Even still, fetches will help when your combo is lacking a piece or two. Let's say you had some of them opening hand and for whatever reason they got Seized away or otherwise removed, when you combo off, you can simply crack a fetchland or 2 and it will allow 2 more lands to enter the battlefield.

Kinda what I was thinking.

The main reason I'm not running fetches is just because I would almost instantly lose to blood moon because is have to cut more basics. Also, even without them the deck is still consistent

I was thinking in stead of the  {Dragonskull Summit}

If they screw your combo what other win conditions do you have?

Hope to unscrew it
