Tossing green out of the house — land-ramp without Green
Commander (EDH) forum

For the last few years, I have dove deeply into ramping via lands in commander. I still play an Arcane Signet or two for density's sake, but I've come to appreciate the corner-case complexity of land-ramping without cards designed to do so.
Green gets off easiest, getting a Rampant Growth every once and a while.
White has clearly risen to second best in this field with their Brought Backs and Claim Jumpers, each combining fruitfully with fetchlands and Lotus Field.
However, other colours need to outsource. I've seen discussion around Blue copying fetches with Virtue of Knowledge or simply casting Mitotic Manipulation. Black just got Dai Li Indoctrination. And Red just can't do much.
There's some universal ones: Mirran Safehouse, Surveyor's Scope, Dowsing Dagger Flip, Wayfarer's Bauble, Myriad Landscape, etc....
But what others are out there? I know MTG-Goldfish inspired a lot of these, but it also encouraged me to get creative. So I'm curious what means other people have mustered!

Dreamscape Artist is a bit of Planar Chaos weirdness. Add in Freed from the Real + Illusionist's Bracers + Seer's Sundial and you can pull every basic land out of your deck. (Tatyova, Benthic Druid uses , so putting that one aside for now.)
Red just got Molten Man, Inferno Incarnate. Black has Korlash, Heir to Blackblade (but that takes some extra hoops to jump through in Commander).
