A zoo player getting an opening hand of Savannah, Arid Mesa, Steppe Lynx, and Pridemage is normally pretty damn good but take out that fetchland and it isn't nearly as explosive. I am not advocating randomly needling out fetchlands but in this circumstance it gains you a bit of tempo and buys you time to get your Sphinx online.
