Add to that friendly EDH mulligans, and drawing on the first turn, and it gets even better. Still a little low for my liking, but not as bad as Turkey made out.

1) Is only 12 green sources enough to consistently draw one in an opening hand while playing what is almost a mono-green deck with a pile of mountains and Valakut added? You basically are talking about a 1/10 chance to start with a green land, which seems kind of low.

2) I guess I'm confused about Warp World being very good in this deck. You basically have to flip Valakut when you shuffle and reveal cards for it to work right? I guess I don't see how the off-chance that happens and you get to deal 30 damage around the table makes it worth it, especially since its Commander, basically everyone will be doing ridiculous things, and the chances of someone else at the table having a gazillion permanents in play is pretty high, and I'm sure there are plenty of commander decks playing more game-ending creature threats.
