MTG Salvation

We've had ranking projects for land cycles broadly, but I think it would be useful to get a look at land selections by guild. Personally, I'm still running certain manlands/painlands that I think I need to switch out and this will help me get to get a crowdsourced opinion to help inform my choice of replacements. I'm also particularly interested in where some newer cycles like pathways or temples fall for everyone.

I think it is safe to assume that ABU Duals, Fetches, and Shocks are going to top 3 for most guilds for most people so in order to capture the diversity of options beyond that let's rank our top 6 per guild. I'll post two guilds per week. Voting for these guilds ends 9 A.M. CT 2/6/21.

Azorious
1. Tundra
2. Flooded Strand
3. Hallowed Fountain
4. Celestial Colonnade
5. Temple of Enlightenment
6. Hengegate Pathway // Mistgate Pathway

Dimir
1. Underground Sea
2. Polluted Delta
3. Watery Grave
4. Creeping Tar Pit
5. Sunken Ruins
6. Temple of Deceit

My ranking for these two is pretty identical. I actually prefer the fetch over the dual but their relative order probably doesn't matter.

Azorius:
1. Flooded Strand
2. Tundra
3. Hallowed Fountain
4. Celestial Colonnade
5. Adarkar Wastes
6. Hengegate Pathway // Mistgate Pathway

Dimir:
1. Polluted Delta
2. Underground Sea
3. Watery Grave
4. Creeping Tar Pit
5. Underground River
6. Clearwater Pathway // Murkwater Pathway

I'm a huge fan of the pathways and of being able to count on the land entering untapped and making the color you need on its own. I think that the seventh land for each of these two for me (which is what I run in addition to the above six) is Irrigated Farmland/Fetid Pools.

I'm going to include my Top 9 (just for context; the 9 I use in my cube) but you can ignore the bottom of the rankings for your purposes if you want.

Azorius:
1. Flooded Strand
2. Tundra
3. Hallowed Fountain
4. Celestial Collonade
5. Adarkar Wastes
6. Hengegate Pathway
7. Seachrome Coast
8. Irrigated Farmland
9. Glacial Fortress

Dimir:
1. Polluted Delta
2. Underground Sea
3. Watery Grave
4. Creeping Tar Pit
5. Underground River
6. Clearwater Pathway
7. Darkslick Shores
8. Fetid Pools
9. Drowned Catacomb

Dimir:

Obviously 3:
1. Polluted Delta
2. Underground Sea
3. Water Grave

Decent 3 - Slightly more meta dependent, but Blue-Black is more combo than control. Edge is given to Clearwater over Tarpit, but Tarpit is very good.
4. Clearwater Pathway
5. Creeping Tarpit
6. Underground River

Temples are underrated IMO in limited where mana/ curve have consistency issues, especially in slower colors.
7. Temple of Deceit

Good lands that normally come in untapped. Pretty good.
8. DarkSlick Shores
9. Sunken Ruins
10. Drowned Catacombs

Playable for larger cubes - Kinda moot point, but if there were more enemy color cycles, I might be more interested in them.
11. Bad River
12. Fetid Pools
13. Sunken Hollow
14. Chocked Estuary

My rating for Azorius is around the same, but I would rank Celestial Colonnade 1-2 places lower.

I'd like to get a little bit larger sample for this project so I'm going to leave it open through 2/13. Will also likely make a reddit post and combine the responses.
