Looking to try a new deck...lookin' for advice/input.
For a while, I was trying to put together a deck around Seismic Assault...a card which should be abusable. At first I penned a variety of decks focused on Green accel, into Red sources for Seismic Assault, followed by Blue for Sunder and Trade Routes, followed by more green for filling the hand with more land. The issue...likely slow, and seems fairly fragile (if not cool and fun if I might manage to get it to work during play).
Then, in searching for some blue card draw for updating my Psychatog deck, I stumbled across Treasure Hunt. "Wait...what about Seismic Asssault...hey, that just might work". Upon searching on MTGS, I was disappointed (yet not surprised) that I'm not the first person to stumble across this.
Notes Reliquary Tower: Allows me to squat over a multi- game with 20 land in hand. Dwarven Ruins: Rushes out your Seismic one turn early.
Cycling Lands: Not sure if these would really help the deck or not Grixis Panorama: Search baby, search.
Questions
- Do I Need Feldon's Cane?
- Would man-lands be good/helpful here, and if so which (budget versions)?
- Hows'a 'bout Khalni Garden, for a chump blocker (seems unnecessary)?
- Plenty of mulligans are expected...which some of my group may find "cheap".
Check out my two comments in that thread. The first has some budget suggestions and the second has a link to the full-on competitive version of the deck. But overall, check here for some good suggestions.

Woah...not sure how I missed that thread...
Ad Nauseum...interesting. Seems like it could be better, but would take longer to "go-off", since Ad Nausaum has a higher cc...
But, you could put tons of fun 0cc artifacts in here (or 1cc'ers wouldn't really hurt that much either). Stronger, but slower, I'd think.
Wouldn't that slow down a treasure hunt that hasn't found its seismic assault yet? Seems to slow the deck down if you don't draw a Seismic Assault...:confused:. clearly good once you have SA onboard.
What would I find in terms of budget man-lands.
I might have a couple Mishra's Factory in the box...but besides that, I don't think I have any man-lands.

This deck has some potential. maybe a splash of white for some tutoring, Enlightened Tutor being the first to come to mind. and then some sort of Mystical Tutor for the key pieces. Splashing white also gives you Lightning Helix. Throw some counter in there and you have a very low Cc combo deck.

Here's my first stab:
2 Seismic Assault
4 Reliquary Tower
4 Remote Isle
4 Forgotten Cave
4 Grixis Panorama
4 Halimar Depths
4 Dwarven Ruins
14 Mountains
14 Island
2 Volcanic Island (only have 2 :()
