Omnath, Locus of Creation is a card that is so powerful, it was banned in Standard. However, it is still legal in Pioneer, where it recently showed up as the centerpiece of a four-color landfall deck.
However, Omanth does complicate the mana and bring with it a host of consistency issues.
So, what happens if we cut Omnath?

That's exactly what @MtgMoniz did for the Regional Championship last weekend, streamlining the deck and mana base.
And frankly, the deck feels smooth!

Altanak, the Thrice-Called is a great find, providing an uncounterable, instant speed ramp effect that also doubles as a huge threat later in the game when you've got an abundance of mana. Speaking of an abundance of mana, Memory Deluge is a great tool to spend mana, find what you need, and is great in high interaction matchups.

While the deck is perfectly capable of just ramping and winning fair games, it also has a combo kill as well. With a Spelunking in play, you can continually recur Lumra, Bellow of the Woods over and over again, eventually finding your Ipnu Rivulet and adding a mill four to the loop to deck your opponent.
This deck is a breath of fresh air and honestly a blast to play!
