25 lands
4 arid mesa
5 mountain
2 emeria, the sky ruin
14 plains
board
4x knight of the white orchid
4x kor sanctifier
3x magma phoenix
4x goblin assault
magma phoenix goes in vs weanie as well as vs cruel ultimadeum. it blocks a baneslayer then with a burst lightning or lightning bolt kills it. it blocks and kills malakir bloodwitch. i am not delusional about it being an amazing card, but in my attempt to simplify this guy seems like a great fit.
the knight of the white orchid makes a good board choice if i win game 1 and/or if i play weanie. he has first strike so they have to use a removal on him, and hopefully by that time i've already gotten my card advantage and deck thinning in by getting that land.
I am thinking goblin assault, pithing needle and/or dispeller's capsule (in addition to my other sideboard cards) are going to come in to help me beat control. If I get paired up to combo or ultimadeum (or even sigil of the empty thrones or library attack!) these can help me get on the offensive and force some resolutions. The other cards i was thinking of for this slot are 4x white knight and 4x devout lightcasters. I decided against them because my maindeck removal should be good enough. The one reason i want to include lightcaster is to exile the broodmate dragon from cruel ultimadeum so they can't return it to their hand. I am not sure about these 8 slots, and i haven't really convinced myself yet.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I like it. It looks like some fun. I think I'll throw it together and see what happens. Thursday may be my first chance to test, so hopefully thurs or fri we can meet up and do some play testing. also hopefully we can get the rest of the lands you need before fnm starts.
