This list solves most of my issues that I had with Lands. Being straight R/G essentially solves a ton of problems (not getting colorscrewed by opposing wastelands, and also having access to the incredible Punishing Fire).

In addition Stage-Depths speeds up your clock immensely (check out those 7 tutors!). You can also Stage your Tabernacle (in response to a wasteland) and Stage + Chasm is a less awkward soft-lock.

Props to Kurt to making what appears to be a highly tuned/updated Lands deck.
