so I won a draft at Meta last night...
...with a deck that included 20 mountains. lol.
I was short of playables, and didn't have anything worth splashing for, so I just ran extra land. My 3 Spire Barrage obviously liked all the mountains, but they also let my Ruinous Minotaurs attack without as much drawback, and I could use Magma Rift and still hit my 5-6 drops easily enough. The extra lands helped me to kick Elemental Appeal ftw one game, and my Hellkite Charger always had 7 mana in case I ever got the chance to use its ability (which I didn't as I only drew it once and it was killed immediately).
I don't think I'd ever do this again deliberately, but it was nice never having to worry about making land drops! :)
