Deck discussion for Prismatic Omen-Wargate-Valakut

I know you said Extended legal, but I'd be curious to see if this would make a viable Vintage concept, using Tenth Edition and Worldwake creature lands in conjunction with Nature's Will and Celestial Dawn. Celestial Dawn would cause 100% of their creatures and artifacts to phase out, allowing you to turn lands into creatures and attack without blockers, then Nature's Will would untap all of your lands again :) Just a quirky idea.

IMO, you're running WUG, I'd drop the Mountain and maybe Island and Plains for the WUG uncommon land. I realize that would disrupt the use of your sac lands, but it'd establish a more reliable mana base to pop off those much needed green spells. If push comes to shove, Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds are always an alternative to trigger the Valakuts.

Edit: The latter I think would add a little consistency. I only ran three sample hands, but two out of the three I had to wait 3+ turns before I could cast anything from my hand. The other sample hand played smoothly, but was still a bit slow waiting to draw the required pieces for the deck to work.

Merry Christmas SavajCabbaj and thank you for noticing one of my newer Decks with no comments! Now, you are correct about getting rid of the Mountain/Island/Plains for Seaside Citadel, but the problem with doing that is that this Deck is supposed to be fast (look at that Mana-Curve), and while it may be a good Turn-4 play for my Wargate, I'll further think about if I should add it or not. Although, I truly like the Evolving Wilds/Terramorphic Expanse idea, and I'll further think into that. Those Sample Hands were complete bad luck, and even if you don't get Preordain, Turn-1 Valakuts and endless possibilities on Turn-2 happens a lot, and I don't see Cultivate being the first Spell you Cast in a game. Also, I think the Sideboard kind of sucks, so I'd like to hear your opinions on it. And nice idea on the whole Vintage thing, but I'm a Standard/Extended man myself, and that Neo-Geo Deck was the only time I tried out Vintage. Thanks for the feedback SavajCabaj! :D

Terra Eternal is definitely sideboard material, though I'm not sure how much land destruction is run in your local metagame. It's generally shunned upon here as being one of those "too unfun to bother" gimmicks.

I think Sun Titan would be a fun idea, as opposed to Wurmcoil Engine, to bring back into play those fetch lands and anything sacrificed by Scapeshift. Just more lands to trigger Valakut :)

I'm out of ideas at the moment.. been a long day, too much turkey, and I's sleepy :D But I will work up a vintage deck list real quick just for shits and giggles. But otherwise, further critiquing and play testing will have to wait for the morning.

Doh! For the vintage deck idea, I definitely meant Equipoise instead of Celestial Dawn.
