Land Update (5.0) —Aug. 18, 2014
When I start create this deck I had both Urza(tron) ( Tron = Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant & Urza's Tower ) and Post ( Post / Locus = Cloudpost + Glimmerpost ) lands on it but with the need of Darksteel Citadel for increase artifact rate and Ancient Tomb to speed mana production I ended up removing the Post lands without much testing and most based on the deck theme. But now with the deck aiming to set one of the infinite mana combo asap the Tron lands are not as reliable as they used be when I had more turns to set them, so I decided test both Land combos for initial draw hand + 3 more draws representing the 3 first turns to see in average how many mana I would generate based on lands only ( and not taking in account Ancient Tomb, Darksteel Citadel & Thespian's Stage ) over 50 tries, and these are the values I ended up with: The Tron lands on average produced 3.26 mana ( 3.97 if Thespian's Stage is taken into account ) and the Post lands ( with Vesuva ) on average produced 4.16 mana ( 5.03 if Thespian's Stage is taken into account ). So I will remove the Tron lands and replace them for the Post lands + Vesuva.
Cloudpost and Vesuva have the limitation of entering the battlefield tapped so I will had Amulet of Vigor to sidebord as a cheap way of take care of it.
