I'd probably buy a set of Noble Hierarch so I could play either version of Pod optimally along with infect, but even if the money was found I still think hierarch is overpriced and would have a hard time paying that price. It's the same reason I still don't own Goyfs.
I don't know who runs 8 fetches, but I've always run 2-4 depending on build, there just isn't any room for more and the filter lands help more than extra fetches. It's not like we have mana fixing problems.
I tried a ScapeTwin version but it was too cluttered IMO, maybe I had a suboptimal build but it was not even close to good.
I haven't been keeping up with the format as of late but WUR Twin is top tier? SFM is strong, no doubt, but in a format where everyone runs some number of artifact hate and discard is better than counters coupled with the fact there is no Brainstorm or Jace I think she will be found acceptable. How soon I don't know.
I know, but seeing them as a whole, imo, forest should proceed swamp. It's unnatural, but this is a fantasy game.
