First tip: As awesome as {Emeria, the Sky Ruin} is, when you need at least seven plains to activate it, you might want either some means of searching for more plains ({Evolving Wilds}, {Endless Horizons}, or {Gift of Estates} comes to mind.  With only 12 Plains in your deck, you'll probably never draw seven plains before the game is over.  Otherwise, maybe just stick to one copy.

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy Magic!

May I suggest one or two more weenies? Like {Kor Cartographer} who also retrieves land.

Thanks for the advice! I took off a couple of Ermias and find a few more weenies. Will keep adding as I continue learning the game.
