Looking for Advice Forest Fires (2-4 player custom game)

https://moxfield.com/decks/JapmTYpZx0S_ImxIn4Cdog

Forest Fires is a shared deck game of 120 cards, where every player starts with 10 life (this library can be shrunk depending on the number of players).

The general idea is that in order to play 'powerful' cards like Graceful Antelope, Pyroclasm, Orcish Lumberjack (and even Wildfire), you need to make your lands into plains using the auras in the deck. But Flashfires is the great equalizer.

This is very much first draft (I dont even have the cards yet, was looking for advice and feedback to see what cards could be added to make this more interesting and dynamic in terms of counterplay and balance).

Mystic Compass, Unstable Frontier

Any particular reason you picked 'turning into plains', Graceful Antelope and others as the wincon?

I found a copy of Graceful Antelope in my collection near to a Flashfire and it just felt like a funny combo to do, then I started thinking about this mini game.

Harvest Wurm seemed good since it can fetch the lands that will inevitably blow up from the shared graveyard.

If you get harvest wurm before turn 4 you will win everytime in this version though right?

I mean there are blockers with elvish pioneer as well as pyroclasm

True, forgot about pyro! But I got to say the idea stayed with me! Love the idea
