Basically instead of [[mox opal]] I have essentially more [[lotus bloom]]s through 7-8 [[reshape]], finding it very easy to get 3-4 and combo off. I never really bothered with mopal because I find that 1 extra mana every [[faith's reward]] or [[open the vaults]] to be inconsequential. I also have [[faithless looting]] mainboard to discard [[lotus bloom]]s that would otherwise be stuck in hand. It's certainly one way to take advantage of [[open the vaults]] compared to faith's reward.
mr_scrambles, how much success are you having with 6 reshape effects mainboard? I'm currently using 8, but I could really use the flex spots if less will still work
user 24144553 - 2 responses to what you said in your arguments.
1. Although Whir does not net mana like reshape, mid combo it essentially reads 0: add a lotus to your graveyard.
2. Although the artifact intereacting lands are interesting, not being able to thin your deck more with GQ could hurt wiff percentages in the combo.
Noct - Thanks for the tips, I'm really not familiar with mtgsalvation at all lol

This is the list that I currently run.
Under alternate win-cons, [[altar of the brood]] does not target your opponent, and functions as spellbomb in the regular end loop.
