An extreme example of mana screw

I am working on a white/green deck in Standard showcasing Shamanic Revelation and I get mana-screwed like it has not happen in thousands of games. Here is the draft deck, which is several cards away from 'smooth operations' (or deletion if I can not get it to such a working state).

...AND I completely missed that I was playing with 20 lands and not 24... I was asking to get mana screwed, just not this badly.





I get to turn 18 with one Forest!


I get to draw white mana with the 25th card in my deck! That means almost all of my white mana is in the lower half of my library!


I still managed to win the game because my opponent could not do anything about my Hornet Nest.
