Mana Seism nets you an insane amount of mana because you can tap all of your lands for mana, float it, then cast Seism for more mana. With a Lotus Cobra in play, casting back a Faith's Reward nearly doubles your mana.
-5 lands in play, along with Lotus Cobra
-Tap to produce 5
-Pay 2 for Mana Seism
-Sac and generate 5 more mana
-8 floating
-Pay 4 for Faith's Reward
-Lands come back untapped
-Five Cobra triggers
-9 Floating
-Tap 5 again
-14 Floating
I love the idea of Ghost Quarter in this deck because you can drop it, get one from Cobra, sac it, go get a land, one more from Cobra, and then tap the land. Sakura-Tribe Elder offers you more rap since he can be reused off of a Faith's Reward. Greater Gargadon offers a big beater that you can feed your lands to in order to get them back with Faith's Reward and retrigger Lotus Cobra. Splendid Reclamation is just Faith's Reward copy five and potentially six. If you've got them, Fetches such as Arid Mesa, Windswept Heath, and Wooded Foothills will be great with your engine.
So... eggs without all the card draw that makes it consistent? The closest you can get is horizon canopy, and that costs you mana each time. I think you might want to consider just teching a few copies of faith's reward into a Bant Knightfall shell. Do the Knight of the Reliquary gimmick and end up with ALL the lands to pay for the spells in your brand new 100% gas deck.

It's similar to Eggs, but use lands instead of artifacts. Same win-con.

Ruin Ghost also works somehow with Retreat to Coralhelm and Lotus Cobra or any form of untapped white mana like Plains, Canopy Vista or Prairie Stream.
If you want to draw cards, there is The Gitrog Monster and Tatyova, Benthic Druid
If the lands should finish the opponent there is of course Valakut and Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, Hedron Crab and Retreat to Hagra.
