What, in your opinion, is the best Modern ramp spell? I personally favor Farseek since it allows you to grab shock lands.

For sure, I love making a turn 3 Hellrider or Huntmaster of the Fells Flip

I'd say Sylvan Scrying is pretty essential to lots of tron, as well as Expedition Map .
Personally, I like Explore .

Black Lotus . it is like a Dark Ritual that is zero mana and taps for any color, so i guess it is kind of better. and allows for a turn 1 Hellrider /Huntmaster of the Fells Flip .

oops, just read modern! Lotus Cobra is pretty sweet in my opinion, specially with prime titan.

Sakura-Tribe Elder is good if you count it as a spell.

Sol Ring is actually usable unlike black lotus and extremely effective, jumping from 1 mana turn one to 4 mana turn two

Definitely Primeval Titan . It may be 6 CMC but after you play it you can fetch Urza Lands, Kessig Wolf Run , Inkmoth Nexus ! He is the bomb.
Or maybe he's just good in my Eldrazi Ramp Deck

@Wizard of the Damned and ninjaking92 take note that this was posted in the Modern forum, so we are not talking vintage or legacy for this

Even in the spot removal heavy modern scene, in my opinion Deathrite Shaman , Birds of Paradise , Noble Hierarch , etc are the best "ramp" spells as they can all do more than just accelerate you. Modern is a format defined by lots of powerful cards and also its speed. So having more relevant top decks is important and having a guaranteed ramp is diminished, unless you're Tron or Scapeshift. Likewise, being able to accelerate into a 3 CMC T2 is pretty big, so being 1 CMC is kind of key.
