Hey guys...

So I was looking around and came across Esperzoa and thought that maybe it could work well with Pilgrim's Eye to be able to get a land into your hand every turn. From there, you can get landfall every turn....

It's really not the best of 2 card synergies but maybe someone else had an idea? To be honest now that I think of it Living Tsunami or Vapor Snare are probably better but at least with Esperzoa you get to increase your land total.

What do you guys think? Any decks that this could fit into?

Maybe this could be a good engine to fuel a hedron crab deck. It might be best though simply for windrider eel. You then have a few big fliers that will wreck your opponent. It ends up being clunky though as you can only start the combo on turn 5 without mana acceleration. Esperzoa just doesn't lend itself well to combos as it is most useful for attacking. I do like the fact that you get to continue to build up you lands (as opposed to maintaining the same total with the tsunami or the snare).

Wouldn't you be able to shorten the turns it takes to get this off as well as make it cheaper using the artifact creature that lowers the cost of artifacts by 1? I can't recall the right Etherium Creature but I"m sure someone knows it's name.

Etherium sculptor. While that could work, I think explore (not exploration) and harrow would be better.

I also remembered a card that would work perfectly with drawing an extra land a turn: seismic assault. Though then you should just play the swans combo as it utilizes the assault better.
