Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Seems kind of hard to play those Chained to the Rocks out of the board with only 4 mountains doesn't it?

don't forget nylea's presence makes the land a mountain :).
Ah so it is better than Abundant Growth in that regard. I just assumed nobody was playing that card until now because of the extra 1 CMC.

Some facts of magic:
-Terror is an emotion which, when experienced, results in death.
-The pox was a disease notorious for having killed one-third, rounded up, of Europe’s population. Smallpox, on the other hand, killed only a single person.
-A person riding a horse cannot be stopped by foot soldiers, large animals, walls, archers, or even catapults.
I cut white when Mono Black Aggro got big and haven't been missing the Elspeths, but Chained just seems so well positioned against the UW Heroic strategies and due to the fact that Peak Eruption has disappeared from the format. Do you guys think Chained main deck is possible with twelve temples these days? I've seen lists, but lack the experience. I play five to six games a day give or take, but like I said I removed white along time ago.
Here are a couple examples of the current dominant deck.

not saying it's necessarily optimal (needs glare in particular, I would suggest), but it's worth mentioning.
