I'm sceptical of this Wasteland-based approach to keeping manabases in check. I don't believe that the natural inconsistency of a 3+ colour manabase, especially if it has other disadvantages (lands entering tapped, life payment with fetches and if you run shocks over duals), makes up for...

What narrow but awesome things can we include as payoffs for people willing to take the risk and put the work in? Bonus points if they don't take up many slots, if they aren't oppressive, and if they function somewhat normally in most circumstances (but have a very high ceiling)

how do we feel about new Kiora? I like untapping things, I like Grisly Salvage, is the inability to defend itself a deal-breaker (or a feature that stops it gumming up the board and making the game about itself)?

I hope we get some absurdly good Surge spells

can probably lend a Cavern towards this

There's certainly an 'extra lands + bouncelands + utility lands' deck but I'd aim a lot higher than Leechridden Swamp/Piranha Marsh.

at the risk of tempting fate I might be good to go, so definitely in if so

Retreat is only better if you get to untap with Knight, which is a tall order in Modern. Scapeshift is often a OHKO with any landfall creature, and can kill them by itself if you get to 7 lands in a long game.

It's also banned, which is inconvenient. Personally I'm excited by: Steppe LynxPlated GeopedeKnight of the ReliquaryScapeshift

Crackling Doom is just a bad [generic removal spell] as far as I can tell. A lot of the wedge/shard combinations don't have cards I'd want to play.

Quarantine Field is good at resetting your opponent's Demonic Pact

if they printed a strictly better Prohibit, I would probably play it yes

I also don't get 'you wouldn't play Impulse so...', Impulse is great! If you run 587 Brainstorms it's hard to find room, but instant speed on an effect like that is a big deal

There are lots of cards that wouldn't be playable in other colours. Ponder and Preordain are among the best instances of the best effect in the best colour. 'Gather the Pack isn't as good as Brainstorm' isn't an argument against it; 90% of the cards in most of our Cubes are worse than Brainstorm.
