I'm wondering if I shouldn't change the maniac to {psychic spiral} and make the rest of the deck focus on surviving until you can cast it. What do you think everyone?

Birdbrain

Are there any cards whose effects depend on the number of lands in your graveyard?

Why run {Kraken Hatchling}? It seems like you will rarely have him early enough to be useful- you want to mulligan into {Treasure Hunt}, not {Kraken Hatchling}. Maybe black for {Zombie Infestation} instead? Much better blockers + a way to win that you don't have if your {Treasure Hunt} is hated out G2/G3. What do you think?

I kinda feel like the hatchlings are just going to make {Treasure Hunt} blank too often.

How else do I survive long enough to cast my win condition?

Edit: maybe {fathom trawl} would be a better option so I can put in more non-land cards?

Edit: I'm thinking I can add lands that actually do things and that would help eminsly

You definitely have too many man lands now. Just stick to B/U {Creeping Tar Pit} and some swamps, right now you just have too many hahaha. I would not include {Fathom Trawl} or {kraken hatchling}- they just slow you down way too much.

I didn't even add 1. I just changed them into something else

Edit: I also think that if all the lands did something other than tap for mana, that {treasure hunt} could provide MASSIVE card advantage along with helping you toward your win condition. Sure you would have to discard a lot. But you can choose what you discard during the discard phase. So you still have massive card advantage

I think that is an interesting idea. {Reliquary Tower}, perhaps?

if I added that I would want to add the creatures from kamigawa that get more powerful the more cards you have in your hand
Or {stermgeist}

{Lightning Storm}...

Also, {Zombie Infestation} is really good in here!

That's so weird, my buddy was running a deck like this with just basics, {Lightning Storm} and {Zombie Infestation} last week. 😄

dang it! Back to the drawing board...

Well, I guess I can still build the deck and focus on special lands

You have blinkmoth, so you might aswell run {inkmoth} or 2 and 2
