Deck Description

Zen Garden: (Garden Salad + artifacts shenanigans)/2

Garden Salad: taking advantage of land synergy.

There's so much synergy in this idea, it's practically a mathematical proof. The basic jist is this: artifacts are cheap, recurring, fetchable, and useful. Lands are great for things that support artifacts. As for specifics:

Glissa: the queen of this build. 3/3 deathtouch first strike for 3 is enough to be deadly on its own, but combined with the artifact fetching ability, she's an unholy beast. In particular, Glissa + Executioner's Capsule + moderate amount of lands = clean field for you. You also get recurring card advantage from the spellbombs.

Asmoranblahblahblah: 13 targets in the build let you discard, with 4 more (Wrenn) to recur cycling lands that discard. Perfect synergy with the Daredevils and Cookbooks. Plus a 3/3 beatstick for 1 is nothing to sneer at.

Daredevils: ungodly recursion in this build. Cookbooks fetch it back instantly, but Glissa recurs artifacts which fetch them back as well, and Saga's fetch artifacts from the deck, so there are 12 good abuse targets with tangential advantage, such as the WILDLY available fetch for cookbook, as you can get it via Asmoranblah or Saga.

Wrenn: land recursion is fantastic on its own these days, but in this build, Wrenn shines like a supernova. 10 tech lands and 5 fetch lands on their own are fantastic, but Wrenn's real ability comes in with extra material to discard via Liliana and Cookbook, and to reuse Saga's to fetch more artifacts. Boom.

Liliana: Wrenn's best friend, Daredevil's best friend, works with asmoranblah and Kroxa and Glissa, muah!

Kroxa: doesn't mind being discarded, extra lands make the 4-drop escape easier to manage.

Extra lands helps with Glissa's recursion as you've got more mana, and help with the techlands that need mana to get use so you can continually reuse them via Wrenn and still have mana to get stuff done.
