Looks like you have a pretty good 8-Rack matchup. Otherwise your sideboard needs some staples like {Stoney Silence}, {Leyline of Sanctity}, perhaps some {Fracturing Gust} and for sure {Naturalize}/{Disenchant} for all the {Blood Moon} running around.

I'd recommend 2 or so more land. Monstrosity on {Fleecemane Lion} is very relevant as pretty much nobody main boards or even sideboards answers to hexproof + indestructible. You also want to be able to drop multiple threats a turn in the later game to put yourself ahead of controlly matchups.

What should I drop for the land? I kinda of figured birds would make up for the lack of. What kind of lands should I add? And yah I need to work on sideboard for sure, just haven't got there yet lol

^^^ Already have em

I'm leaning towards {Letline of Lifeforce}, it's a SB card, and a {Mutagenic Growth}.

I'm gonna run it 1 and if I'm playing against burn, swipe it out for leyline of sanctity and go that route but it's all about play testing and seeing what works best

The knight of reliquaries should be main boarded. With no hate to combo decks you need strong cards that force answers for other match ups

So sideboard the mutagenics and run Knights?

Why not just cut the birds and run lands instead? Lands don't die to board wipes.

You can't play two land on the same turn. You can play a land and a bird. Then you're ahead of the game!

True, does this deck really need ramp though? I just think it's safer to curve out aggressively and not worry about dead mana sources.

No it probably doesn't but I mean making an indestructible/hexproof fleecemane t4 is always great and as was mentioned already no one really plays removal for indestructible, also any 3-4 drop a turn prior to playing it is always great. That's my reasoning... But at the same time if theyre going to waste their kill spells on a 0/1 flyer I'm not worried because it's one less removal I need to worry about. Also most people play path to exiles as removal so my bird of paradise turns into an evolving wilds and I don't have a problem with that

Also, considering running {Ajani's Presence} in place of {Gods Willing} to save at least 3-4 creatures late game from board wipes
