20 lands seems like a bit much in this format

It wasn't too bad during my testing against geist last night.. I actually lost game 3 due missing land drops and getting wastelanded. My deck is simply trying to hold up counters, or board wipes for most of the game until I can setup a combo and protect it.

this man is a fraud

Sideboard added.

List remains unchanged (I need to work on the manabase though)

Sygg - 2-1
Ezuri - 2-0
Ezuri - lost 2-1
Zo Zu - 2-0
Anex - 2-0
Skullbriar 2-0
