So I decided to make a Tiny Leaders deck and I want to crush everyone, so I made it pretty degenerate. But I suck with manabases and made some changes so here I am.
I was wondering what I should put in the sideboard and if cutting Nephalia Drownyard for Thespians Stage would be worth it (Dark Depths combo interaction). The manabase seems like it might need some help as well. I have the means, just need to tune it right, would Seachrome Coast be good (higher chance to draw it)? Or is Flooded Strand just plain better? Also Command Tower and some others have been floating through my head. I know I don't NEED black on turn 1 as the disruption is to clear the way for the combo, but I'm terrible with mana (as stated) and a portion of it is devoted to the Marit Lage combo.
I like having multiple plans of attack. Combo out w/ artifacts (5 hard tutors for it), Beatdown with Geist of Saint Traft, Mill them with Zenith and Drownyard (drownyard could be Thespians Stage), or get Marit Lage onboard with hexmage/stage combo.
"If fetch lands are reprinted I really believe they will be in allied colors (aka Onslaught fetches). If the fetch lands are reprinted you better believe that we'll all be fetching up basics. This would lead me to believe that the set after THS may have a reprint as the temples can't be fetched but it's pure speculation." - posted 03/22/2014 proved correct during Khans spoiler season.
"The set releases for fall 2015 (Blood, Sweat and Tears) and fall 2016 (Lock, Stock and Barrel). One or both of those 2 blocks (I'm betting) are going to contain either Fetch reprints or (more likely) Filter reprints. Filter lands still need a reprint. They are getting pretty high up there and it's been longer than ZEN so it makes a little more sense that Filter lands would see print earlier that fetches." - posted 03/22/2014 proved incorrect about filters coming earlier than fetches, still pending on filters in Origins block.

I like Merieke Ri Berit to keep you alive against opposing monsters that hit the table and Thousand-Year Elixir plays nicely with her, but Sydri, Galvanic Genius has some toys to play with and merits a mention at least.
Some suggestions I got were to add Thousand-Year Elixir, Blue Sun's Zenith instead of Sphinx's Revelation, Mental Misstep and that Sword of Feast and Famine was cuttable. I just don't know what else to cut for them.
I like having multiple plans of attack. Combo out w/ artifacts (5 hard tutors for it), Beatdown with Geist of Saint Traft, Mill them with Zenith and Drownyard (drownyard could be Thespians Stage), or get Marit Lage onboard with hexmage/stage combo.
Any help would be much appreciated!
