Indeed I'm gunna be building this soon!
For the record I didn't neg you lol but thanks and that's pretty dope how you had the same idea! Any changes you think you'd make?
I think the manabase I jank. There should be 0 {Polluted Delta}s and I don't like {Mystic Monastery}s. There should so be 4 {Darksteel Citadel}.
I feel like the control package needs a tweak too, and the sideboard seems odd.
Is there a deck tech kicking around? I'd like to read that as for all I know lots of these cards make more sense than I think.

Deltas are there for dig, and in this deck you need more u/w sources so monastery acts just as a guildgate, that might just make your opp side differently

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

In his deck tech he said he wanted more fetches lol the mana base isn't jank the mana base works with his deck. He needs to have artifacts so citadel. He needs to fuel dig asap so fetches. He needs to cast stuff so Mystic. Lastly he needs to not get rekt by burn so rad fountain.

I said jank, not junk. One extra fetch isn't really going to help with {Dig Through Time} and on one hand you want {Radiant Fountain} as a one of, so you'll pretty much never see it, because burn and on the other there's an extra fetch?
And ten tapped lands in a two colour deck just doesn't feel right. It should be more than fine without it.
I can see the reasoning I just don't agree with it. Of course I'd trust Hoogland over me but still. Feels janky.
Fair enough :D
