Archie Lists tend to follow similar patterns, but where mine diverges are on a couple of important points. Kettletop vs. Land Surveyor. I've land on Land Surveyor because there are many turns where I find that a land in hand immediately is much better than an additional damage here and there.

An example play that came up recently was me starting on 6 mana with no sites in hand, but I had a Craterize that I wanted to work towards. I play Landmass, pull my 7th site, play it. Play the Common Sense from hand, have 2 mana left, and get a Land Surveyor. This gives me my 8th land immediately in hand for the following turn, whereas Kettletop is not guaranteed to give me an additional land (and remember that Craterize requires you to discard a site to cast).

Another place of divergence, I still run Mirage because I want to replay certain sites like Pillar of Zeiros, Funeral Pyre, and Fields of Camlann. It also make a Fire threshold, so it's not totally useless on its own. Just gives me a little late-game utility.

Finally, most lists run Major Explosions. I have opted instead for full-on militia-attack. Another reason I like Land Surveyor over Kettletops in THIS list is because I'm regularly pumping my dudes up with spells like Onslaught, Gigantism, and Gift of the Wolf. I don't really care if they're 1 power to start with. I run 2x Assorted Animals, as well, and 1 War Horse, which is both aggressive (if they're on death's door) and defensive (if I'm on death's door - it will help me get out of harm's way).

Hope you enjoy! I've certainly been having a great time being the bad guy.
