So, to give a little context. I have a deck (list here) where I care quite a bit about having my sac outlets. That said, I only need to move a few creatures at a time so High Market / Phyrexian Tower kind of do the job just fine I just need more access to them especially if my opponents decide to go after them with removal. I originally was thinking about cutting one of the basics for Tolaria given that this deck mostly doesn't mind a tap land as really turns 4/5 tend to be when I need to be untapped and I can fudge a tapped land outside of that. I also had the thought that I could theoretically cut a land for Sylvan Scrying given that a hand with one land and scrying is probably just as likely to get mulliganned as a hand with 2 lands one being Tolaria West.
I feel like a bit swing in their performance being that sylvan is better early but Tolaria West opens options for later in the game tutoring something like Pact of Negation (note I don't currently have pact in deck but its not so far off that it wouldn't work for the deck. It seems like a bit of a trade off between strong early and strong late but tilting your hand and informing others that you have pact is also...... something..... I don't know how much of a concern I should have in cutting a land for a nonland in this case as I feel like if I include Tolaria its for another land but is it also fair to do that with sylvan? I guess both could always be a thought too but I don't know. Thoughts?
