I've been testing a list for the past 2 weeks very close to GobboLord's MD, except in Green. Differences being:
-1 Bolt, +1 Tin-Street Hooligan, -1 Dual Land, +1 Forest

What do people who are splashing for one colour think of a non-red basic? Keen to hear people's opinions.

Pros: can't be Waste'd, works under Moon effects
Cons: doesn't produce red (sometimes relevant to get your 2nd R)
