Its not so much that I think it's better. Dryad got released much later (so I haven't put it in my deck yet) and is better, especially for this deck with all the draw. I simply wanted to see what your thoughts were.

For my Azusa list, I don't have inherent draw or lifegain with my commander. So courser has been very helpful for me, especially with all the fetchlands allowing me to play lands and improving my next draw. It's especially helpful with horn of greed. Moreover, with Green Urborg, I can keep the fetches for later, especially if the top of my library is a Tooth and Nail or something that I might have accidently shuffled away given all the fetches and tutoring in the deck.

Any thought of taking a few basics out and bring in a few Snow-Covered Island and Snow-Covered Forest in here for Field of the Dead? It’s fractions of a percentage point but I don’t see a downside.

mahanhen that's absolutely a good idea and definitely something I should be doing. I think I'm just too attached to how good the Simic guild kit basics look at the moment :(

Druid Class, Lifegift, Ovinomancer, Conduit of Worlds would make good potential additions here, I run these in my Legacy Land Deck

Craeter Sorry for the late reply; I actually took a bit of hiatus from the game. The problem with Druid Class and Ovinomancer is that they're both a bit too slow for the deck. For 3 mana, I'd rather run Beast Within and have extra versatility to remove non-creature permanents.

Lifegift isn't really something I'd benefit from. The lifegain of my commander is just incidental and my deck doesn't revolve around lifegain. This card doesn't actually do anything to help me further advance my gameplan.

I did try playing Conduit of Worlds in the deck when it first came out, but I actually cut the card for Ancient Greenwarden because Reach and double triggers are more useful abilities for me. Conduit is further hampered by the fact that I can't use it to recur instants or sorceries, which is what I find myself recurring most often with this deck.

I think my top priority now is figuring out replacements for Mana Crypt and Jeweled Lotus, since apparently they both got banned while I was taking my hiatus.
