Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
A third way to get more bang for your lands in Standard is to focus
on untapping creatures. The Telekinetic Bonds example above shows how a
repeatedly untapping Krosan Restorer can quickly get crazy. Puppeteer,
Aphetto Alchemist, and Seeker of Skybreak can each untap the Restorer
once. Wirewood Lodge could do it if the Restorer were an Elf. Hey . . .
Play Artificial Evolution on Krosan Restorer to make it an Elf, then use
Wirewood Lodge. For G, Wirewood Lodge can untap the Restorer, which can
then untap it and two other lands once you have threshold. This nets you
one mana for each iteration, which is good enough for a mana engine.
Of course, the Restorer isn't the only creature that's useful to untap
when looking for a mana engine. Priest of Titania doesn't exist in
Standard, but you can get GG out of a single Fyndhorn Elder (which
happens to be an Elf!). Add Aggravated Assault, another Elder, and two
Birds of Paradise, and you can tap the critters for GGGGRR, activate the
Assault to untap everything and do it all over again. That, too, nets
you one mana for each iteration.
Or use Aggravated Assault, Mirari's Wake, and Nature's Revolt (or
Kamahl, Fist of Krosa) to quickly rev your mana engine. Keen!
That's about all I can think up for land-based mana engines.
Undoubtedly, more exist that my wee little brain can't fathom. I never
did think of anything for Cabal Coffers. Although, it's convenient that
with threshold, Krosan Restorer can untap just enough land to activate
the Coffers a second time.
In any case, here are some additional engine parts to tease your
imagination.
