Two things:
1. This deck will cost a lot of money. Gaea's cradle for example costs like $30. Also, The Misty Rainforests are not really needed in a mono colored deck
2. If you dont care about money, then you should add both Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary and Joraga Warcaller
You could use it to grab Mnemonic Wall, Archaeomancer, and Living Death. That has the added benefit of returning living death to your hand after you use it.
This does work. I also want to point out that the till EOT exile thing is only for your graveyard, so you could cast another players Gitaxian Probe as many times as you want.
I think you would have to specify non-mana, or non-land abilities, or else this is beyond broken.
So I find out there is a different store that's signifigantly closer, and give them a try. It's a smaller store, but they have a decent customer base and I end up playing a few fnm's there. Not as good as my main LGS, but It's okay.
Then comes the Mirridon Beseiged prerelease, and I decided to go with a Buddie of mine to their midnight release. Thats when things went downhill. They decided that for flavor reasons you could only use cards with the water mark of the faction you picked (if you recall it was the first faction themed prerelease, Mirrin vs New Phyrexia) which essentially meant that anyone who picked phyrexia was short almost all of the cards in their Scars packs (there were only a couple Phyrexian watermarked cards in the first set). And they said that everyone got to use their promo in their deck. Which meant that everyone who picked Mirrin got a Hero of Bladehold, while you had to commit to a G/B deck if you wanted to use your phyrexia promo.
When asked about it, the owner said that Wizards made it very clear that it was supposed to be run that way, and brushed it off. It seriously ruined the release, and everyone who picked phyrexia got stomped, hard.
Attendence dwindled after that, and they went out of business shortly after. I am not sure if the prerelease caused it or it was already going down hill, but either way I am not sad to see them go.

But if it had to be about magic, I would convince them the shave 1-2 generic mana off of almost every card from kamigawa block (with a few notable exceptions, looking at you Jitte and Top). There are so many cool cards from that block that are just a bit over costed.
THANK YOU! If you can't remember the hand you looked at 30 seconds ago, you are SOL. This is a CARD game, no paper, no tokens, no dice.
You can't remember how many counters on your Jace? It's zero, he's dead now. To all those noob players using "dice" to keep track, for SHAME. This is magic, not some gygaxian bull****.
And really, if you can't remember how many Cats you have from a White Sun's Zenith 10 turns ago, after chumping with one and sacing some to Ashnod's Altar, we don't want you in this game. GET OUT.
If Kaho, Minamo Historian is killed in response to her activated ability, does she still get to cast the card? I am unsure if last known information works here.
Is that because placing the land from your hand isn't an effect?
There are a lot of cards in Alpha/Beta that don't fit with modern balance standards. Moxes were fair game when everyone essentially was playing limited, and you could only ever feasibly get like one of them. Now that everyone can consistantly have the max number of any given card, you can't balance like that.
