Top is a possibility, but another thought I had was fitting in Portent.
This lead to a thought;
Slowtrip, yeah, but might the ability of Portent to insure that an opponent that's struggling to get a second land doesn't draw lands for another couple turns actually make it better than Ponder in this deck?
Has anyone thought of this angle, or does the situation just not come up often enough to warrant the wait on the draw aspect?
(Portent, unlike Ponder, can target opponents, so you can rearrange the top three of their library. If anyone's wondering what I'm talking about.)
