The lands in this deck make no sense to me. 4x fabled passage, but the only basic is swamp? and there’s literally no plains in the entire deck to play the front side of Extus, Oriq Overlord/Awaken the Blood Avatar…? What’s going on here?
I would imagine it’s to help thin out the number of lands in the deck, so that if there is a late game, you’ll draw mostly gas instead of getting mana screwed.
