Agreed. Don't see the point in having land fetch in this deck. Also, Goblin Guide is much better than Raging Goblins.

It's not a super practical deck and it's expensive to boot - you need the right hand for it to work.Let's take a sample hand of Omniscience, Enter the Infinite, City of Brass, Gemstone Mine, Elvish Spirit Guide, Chancellor of the Tangle, and a Shardless Agent.1) On your opening phase, reveal Chancellor of the Tangle. Play your land and then remove your Elvish Spirit Guide from your hand for the additional forest mana. Play your Shardless Agent.2) This will trigger cascade, which lets you exile cards from your library until you get to a card which costs less, and you get to play that card for free. After, you put the exiled cards at the bottom of your library in a random order. Hypergenesis is the only possible card that you can cascade into.3) Since you get to go first with Hypergenesis, play Omniscience. This card lets you play all nonland permanents without paying their mana cost. After, play Enter the Infinite, which lets you draw your entire deck save one card. 4) Throw down all of your creatures and enchant four of them with Eldrazi Conscription. Swing for the kill - Urabrask the Hidden will give all of your creatures haste. You could hit for somewhere around 100 damage on turn one - enough to easily take out one opponent, and enough to take out many opponents in multiplayer by distributing the damage.5) You won. :)
I prefer the life gain from Elspeth Tirel. She's one mana less and after only one of her + ability she can destroy all permanents except tokens and lands. With Cathar's Crusade and Doubling Season it can be really OP.
idk i think rod of ruin is turrible. 7 initial mana to do 1 damage and 3 every other time.
Nice deck man, I would say Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx would help you out a lot if anything.
It's more of an idea right now, I'm saving up for it.. Unfortunately it's not exactly a budget deck haha
It's a good deck with a bit of control and a bit of mill, but I feel like it needs a little more mill ability than just the Painter-Grindstone combo.
