I had a lot of fun playing Surprise in Simic, Temur and Sultai decks. Unfortunate, I was unlucky with this build or maybe unlucky session, many times I couldn't get sixth land and win the game. I have run 26 lands + 4 Cornucopia. I thought it would be enough, but it wasn't. I had to add another land. I hope you have better luck.
So I just went 10-4 with this deck in Ladder. I made a small alteration: -2 Atraxa +2 Pillage the bog I ran into the same mana issues you referenced with the original list, but after the changes I found the deck to be much smoother.
Landscycling creatures, although only commons, sometimes guarantee land plays without clogging the deck with lands to skew the probability of a land. And sometimes they are really helpful as cheap creatures with a resusable reanimator like the Virtue of Persistence enchantment or Vat of Rebirth.
They do, but they are not at all easy to pilot. I think they suffer a bit from no intro to explain the synergies and concepts, and perhaps even a run-down in the description box might help... but I love playing these decks. They're largely old-school Control - stabilise and then drop a big hard-to-handle threat with Counterspell protection, but there's a lot of depth to them which allows you to find other paths to victory - comboing off with a huge Doppelgang on Roxanne's Meteors in that deck, for example. To be honest, though, the fault is mostly with WotC's decision to drop a Mythics-only secondary set while cutting short the number of opportunities to play Sealed (and to some extent Draft) due to the release of Modern Horizons - Sealed is where I pick up the majority of cards and packs because most people are so BAD at Sealed, and Draft at least lets you rare-draft if you're pile starts going to hell ☹.
@@undahraadaundahraada5594 Absolutely! I could not agree more. I love how Sonio pilots these decks and honestly trying to do what he does has made me a much better player. I really enjoy his videos and the decks he creates.

Just from the initial look at the deck I love it already!

Sonios decks always look fun to play because they are so out of pocket but they are competitive lol
I think the Temur pile might be the one making the most sense. Calamity and Terror together are just great.
Beautiful!
Surprise is an amazing card.
Jeez, this is your last deck I use wildcards to build it, these decks you've been making recently just don't make any sense, they don't work.
Literally say's on the pinned post that he struggled to make it work

Brother. If you want to climb don’t use his decks unless he specifically says “rank up” he generally plays azorious for ranking up.
