Move Aside, Wayfarer's Bauble! Land-to-Hand Artifact Fetches and the Generation of Land-Based Card Advantage

from MTG In Quarantine · host MTG In Quarantine

On today's episode, I discuss "land-to-hand artifact fetches", which are artifact cards that allow you to tutor for a land out of your library and put it into your hand.  While the gold standard of this effect is Wayfarer's Bauble because it acts to ramp you by placing a land directly onto the battlefield, many players may miss the potential of other artifacts which bring lands to your hand (in many cases for less cost!).  I argue that ensuring that you don't miss a single land drop during the course of the game is on par with actively ramping because you are able to better keep up with your opponents by taking advantage of the 1-land-per-turn rule.  In its own way, this generates card advantage for you as the player because you are able to ensure that there is a land in your hand (and it's even better in decks looking to get multiple lands onto the field in one turn!).  I then use examples of my own Alela, Artful Provacateur and Titania, Protector of Argoth decks as examples of places where I run these fetches so that I can guarantee that I hit my land drops. You can find me on Twitter at @MTGInQuarantine.  The back catalog of my podcast is available on Spotify, Google Casts, and Apple Podcasts (along with Breaker, Anchor.FM, CastBox, and more!).
