Why is black in here..? I'd put blue in here or umbral mantle for untap with unlimited mana combo.

Looking at the deck, it looks like a nice idea. But with a few problems.

1: Your Win Condition is Helix Pinnacle. You basically need to hit it in your opening hand, or it will be quite difficult for you to win any games. Tutors of some description will help quite a bit here.

2: Black seems misplaced. Unless you wanted Black Tutors, I don't see the need for it. Rituals are only being used to speed up helix by a small amount, less than a turn's worth of Mana, as all your other cards are green, and a max of 3 CMC.

3: Primeval Titan. You have the Mana to play it. If it hits the field, you search for cloudposts, it pays itself off very quickly.

4: Expedition Map, or equivalent. Again, searches for Cloudposts.

5: Shoutout to the last post ^ Umbral Mantle.

6: 26 Lands seems a bit excessive in a Ramp deck. Maybe a few less lands, and some more Card-Drawing, or Land-Searching Spells/Abilities?


One last point, good luck. It looks like a deck that could be fun to play, and, when you win with cards like Helix Pinnacle, it's always an exciting moment =)

That's what the community is here for :]
Much better looking at the deck now. You might consider putting more forests in though.

Thank you that makes me feel good!
I thought the same thing about the land, but I drew a few sample hands hands and I got a forest almost every time. I'll probably still put some in though. Thank you again.
