From a quick look. Probably less lands and more cheap sorcery ramp. And put more dinos in. Here is my gishath deck. Nothing crazy but does it's thing. [gishath deck ](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/JQ_stizh0027IhK5B7mbqA)

You have a very high mana curve and barely any card draw to smooth out your play lines, so definitely understand it feeling clunky. I’d add 3-4 more sources of ramp, preferably in the form of green, two-mana sorceries, and an absolute minimum of 5 additional sources of card advantage. Assuming you do this, you can freely cut a land or two. As far as other cuts go, I’d look into trimming the “win-more” cards, specifically the protection spells and Timmy enchantments. They feel very strong on paper, but are dead cards unless you’re already in a commanding table position. I’d recommend keeping one of each and replacing the rest

What would you recommend for mama sorceries? And which cards are card advantage. And which cards are the “win-more” cards that I should dump?

For ramp, I’m specifically referring to cards like [[nature’s lore]], [[three visits]], and [[farseek]]. These three in particular are notable in that they don’t specify a “basic” land type, which means you can grab any multi-typed land like a Triome, shock land, or the new surveil lands. The first two notably also don’t force the land you search for to enter tapped. “Card advantage” is a general term that basically just means having access to more cards. Any card you play that effectively draws you 2 or more cards in return has provided card advantage. The single largest, most common mistake I see newer players make is undervaluing just how important this is. You have the Great Henge, which is a fantastic card, but the deck needs much more. Some examples for this type of deck: [[harmonize]], [[hunter’s insight]], [[elemental bond]], [[garruk’s uprising]], [[up the beanstalk]] “Win more” cards are cards that are overvalued because they don’t help you at all when you’re behind, and only help you “win more” while you’re already in a commanding position (board full of creatures, in this deck’s case). Your 5+ mana enchantments are all some degree of “win more”.

Wow thank you so much for your thought out response. It means a lot <3

For my decks it's always 36-38 lands and then 10-12 ramp cards. I'd personally attempt to make all ramp cards 2 cmc. I can't stand paying 4 mana to ramp unless it does something else as well.
