In High Tide decks it effectivey untaps 2 lands while simultaneously putting another tide on top of the library. That is interesting, if not necessarily optimal.

Having been out of the loop for more than a few years, is the Drift lock better than Isochron Scepter imprinting Chant with Teferi out? Trading Pithing Needle/artifact removal vulnerabilitie for...
Driven // Despair looks potentially very playable in elves. Low mana cost, naturally resistant to counterspells, messes with storm combo, built in evasion and blowout amounts of card advantage should...
Dies to combat damage more like; and singleton hate that doesn't prevent the combo proper still traditionally loses to bounce out of storm and high tide variants. Being able to continously nix an...
Obsidian Battle-Axe? Between and the umpteen borderline playable elf warriors there might be something to brew off.
Fixed that for you. CIPT lands that turn basic type searchers into clues don't seem that exciting at second glance. Oracle's Vault looks good for Stax (card advantage, mana sink, feeds namesake with...
Cavern of Souls on Wizard casts Trinket Mage/Trophy Mage/Master of Etherium all. That plus Lodestone Golem, Phyrexian Metamorph and possibly Phyrexian Revoker makes for a pretty solid stompy...
Sly Requisitioner (4B 2/2 with improvise creating 1/1 servo creatures when an artifact dies) looks like it can slot into oldschool affinity builds with Disciple of the Vault and Arcbound Ravager;...
You probably want to replace your creatures with Cloud Key and/or Semblance Anvil.
That self-reanimating robot (at instant speed no less mind you) might help give affinity some game versus Terminus along with Disciple of the Vault and Ravager. Night Market Lookout kind of stands...
I'm going to go with graveyard interactions-themed set. Possibly monuments subset of artifacts to tie in with Kaladesh?
Hey, Soldiers might actually have enough Ok creatures between this and the conspiracy ones to build a half-decent stompy deck. Amusing.
You do realize your opponent becomes monarch if one of his attacks connect with you? Y'all should be playning Mirror Entity btw, it was what won me most games whe I played this deck back in Lorwyn...
Friends don't let friends play Spiritmonger.
I'd daresay I wouldn't play that in a list featuring Ancient Tomb, no.
Assume 50 cards left in your deck, 20 of which are lands. 20/50 = .40. Now assume that the tp card indeed is a land and is consequently discarded. 49 cards remain, 19 of which are lands. 19/49 ~ .39....
"Beginning of combat step; tap Tundra for W; Tap Sensei's Divining Top activating second ability; response?"
EDIT: Unless that BS whiffed completely or the opponent actually didn't leave Terminus...
Shining Shoal is generally superior. Not requiring you to keep mana open in what is most likely a weenie deck is a big deal, and lategame it can redirect more damage.

Resolving the spells that makes you not lose the game is important, I agree. That was not the point I was trying to make though. As an example, which spell would you say is more valuable:...
Not even mentioning its ability to protect your own plays? Right.
Mmm. This is pretty close to what I've envisioned (then again the deck pretty much builds itself). I'd probably go [-4 Tezz -4 Springleaf -4 Tomb -4 Skirge] [+4 Thoughtcast +4 Great Furnace +4...
Any particular reason UWx versions don't run Engineered Explosives and Terminus? EE is a recurrable answer to Counterbalance, Chalice@1 and flipped Delvers handily enough, and Terminus is a 1-mana...
Affinity might plausibly want this. Black Vise/Galvanic Blast/Shrapnel Blast is an awful lot of non-combat damage, and it is synergistic with Ensoul Artifact and Day's Undoing.
The most exciting thing about this set is how the premium planeswalker creates White Knight Allies. Predicting the Friendzone being the de facto functional replacement of Exile come winter. Nothing...
This and Myr Enforcerer looks potentially interesting in artifact stompy as a way to tutor Lodestone Golem (or Kuldotha Forgemaster for combo builds), possibly chaining 4/4's with Crucible of Worlds...
