Lumengrid Sentinel pairs so nicely with all the artifact-token jackpot machines in today’s EDH. Lockdown a dangerous opponent at instant speed (and it doesn’t say nonland). Wears equipment! Relevant creature type! Cool art! 😎

Partial to these two in different decks: Spoils can find duals and triomes like Farseek but can *also* put a Mystic Sanctuary in untapped, and Spring//Mind has a cheeky 9 cmc when high cmc matters (and Grozoth)

I’ve had a pile of cards for an Epic Errant deck sitting on various surfaces in my office for like two years. I love the concept, but I can’t imagine actually playing it in the limited game time I get these days (and it doesn’t exactly goldfish well)

A lot of cards care about your lands having a basic type! A secret weapon for niche strategies (Valakut Oops! All Islands is one of my favorite current decks), but it’s also just cheap mana fixing in Blue - and it’s a wizard
