Our Karametra player can routinely have all 37 of his lands in play by turn 8-10. I come from a meta where there is no land destruction at all, so my suggestions will likely be jaded by that.

If we're running lots of cheap, little creatures and a ton of land I think this is a good inclusion.

Pros:
- Turns a bunch of little dweebs into a bunch of hulks.

Cons:
- Needs a board presence to be really explosive.
Depending on how the list shapes up later, might want to consider adding elf (Skyshroud Poacher + Trostani's Summoner + Deranged Hermit) and rebel chains to the list. The activations won't trigger
Karametra, but they're good ways to build up a board presence, and then fetch Mirror Entity at EOT for a win.

Gaea's Cradle seems like a pretty likely candidate, regardless. Does Dryad Arbor trigger Karametra? Nah, I suppose it doesn't. Too bad.

Generic vote for gating creatures and that white flying dork for either 2 or 3 mana that returns a creature to hand on cast...aaaaah forget it's name. I guess Stonecloaker? Is there another one?
Whitemane Lion and Kor Skyfisher could be really good, yeah. Completely useless without the general (maybe Stonecloaker's better thanks to the grave hate?), but damn.

I'd suggest just playing Whitemane Lion and Stonecloaker. At least they can
save a guy from removal in a pinch. Skyfisher is completely useless without Karametra.

Pros: Combos with Karametra -> [mana]1W[/mana]: Fetch a land.
Cons: Pretty bad without Karametra (though not completely useless)
Skyfisher! That was it. Ah. I feel better now.

Maybe it'll turn out they have some uses, if we have enough ETB effects?

Downside, those are not much good without the general in play. But paying three mana for a land on demand, and at instant speed no less, seems fairly valuable.
