Move Aside, Wayfarer's Bauble! Land-to-Hand Artifact Fetches and the Generation of Land-Based Card Advantage

On today's episode, I discuss "land-to-hand artifact fetches",
which are artifact cards that allow you to tutor for a land out
of your library and put it into your hand.  While the gold
standard of this effect is Wayfarer's Bauble because it acts to
ramp you by placing a land directly onto the battlefield, many
players may miss the potential of other artifacts which bring
lands to your hand (in many cases for less cost!).  I argue
that ensuring that you don't miss a single land drop during the
course of the game is on par with actively ramping because you
are able to better keep up with your opponents by taking
advantage of the 1-land-per-turn rule.  In its own way, this
generates card advantage for you as the player because you are
able to ensure that there is a land in your hand (and it's even
better in decks looking to get multiple lands onto the field in
one turn!).  I then use examples of my own Alela, Artful
Provacateur and Titania, Protector of Argoth decks as examples of
places where I run these fetches so that I can guarantee that I
hit my land drops.
