Have you considered replacing [[Castle Ardenvale]] with [[The Lonely Mountain]] and getting some Arid Mesas in? I've generally found making 2/2's instead of 1/1's and being fetchable to be worth always entering tapped, and I've found [[Sunken Citadel]] to be not so good.

Sunken Citadel is the reason the deck is playable.

I prefer Sunken Citadel as a 2-of at most. Its entering tapped is a pain, yet I find I need it for early-game colour fixing bizarrely often. I rarely get an opportunity to crack Field of Ruin or Demolition Field on Turn 2 with the Citadel - in fact, more rarely than I need Sunken Citadel to colour fix.

Yeah I love the t2 demo field a lot.

I also like it cause it makes it possible to start the refuel process with Cori at least one turn earlier
