This deck is intended to be a more budget take on Scapeshift, considering this list costs as much as 4x  {Scapeshift}. Point of the deck is to ramp, float enough mana to cast  {Devastating Summons} and  {Splendid Reclamation} and then cast both spells in that order.

I like it but it seems pretty glass cannon. How's it testing?

Haven't tested it, I saw  {Devastating Summons} on the Krenko and Friends post in Legacy and it gave me the idea. It would be meant to play against a more casual setting since any sideboard graveyard hate would be awful.

My only advice is drop down to 2 forests and up to 6 mountains

Also, perhaps more ramp such as {Kodamas Reach} instead of expedition map
