Spells that can fetch Shocks?

What are some spells that can tutor up shock-lands and put them into play?
I ain't got the $$$ for fetch-lands (especially when they'd only be for EDH), so I'm limiting this to just spells.
I have Farseek , Nature's Lore , and Skyshroud Claim thus far. Anything else I'm missing that's playable?

Ranger's Path is a less versatile Skyshroud Claim, but still pretty solid

I'll leave it to you to determine their playability in your deck, but this is all I could find: Hunting Wilds (this one I liked) .. Reap and Sow (this not so much)

I've played Hunting Wilds before; I actually like it but forgot about it.
Reap and Sow has its uses, but it's not exactly a ramp spell. Yeaah.

@Jp3ngu1nb0y, that doesn't actually ramp though. All that it does (like Realms Uncharted ) is put lands into your hand. Now, if you run Azusa, Lost but Seeking , Burgeoning , Exploration , and Oracle of Mul Daya , then it might be worthwhile.

Karametra says fetch Forest or Plains. Don't know if you had white in there, I'm sort of replying off the cuff on my phone.

In most of my decks with green I run Life from the Loam and Crucible of Worlds , so i LOVE running Scapeshift . It filters my deck out a ton (at least 4 lands) and helps me get out every important land I need for the rest of the game. Always an option.

Knight of the Reliquary pending your colors.
Crop Rotation , Expedition Map are a few others.
There's always the budget fetches like Mountain Valley and what not.

In green/white, I like to run Krosan Verge , which can fetch two shocks (tapped) in a 3+ color deck. Tempt with Discovery is by far my favorite ramp spell in EDH, as it often gets me 4 (nonbasic)lands, untapped. Perilous Forays can find shocks as well, but really needs the right deck. Yavimaya Dryad could also work.

Perilous Forays is only basic lands, smash10101. but I have never seen Krosan Verge , that's a great land!

Dreno33, Perilous Forays can definitely find shock lands, because they have basic land types, which is what the card says.

erabel has it right Dreno33, Perilous Forays finds lands with basic land types, meaning basics, shocks, ABUR duals, and those Shadowmoor lands like Sapseep Forest .

Good ol' Wood Elves will tutor a shock that is a forest and put it into play. You still have to pay the 2 life if you want your shock to come into play untapped though.Plus you get a chump blocker out of the deal. It's an old favorite of mine.

Three Visits is expensive, but Nature's Lore so it is up to you. can't think of any others.
