I have been slowing buying into legacy and I took the advice of many threads and started buying blue duals. My dream is to play RUG delver. I don't care if it has fallen off I want to play it. After figuring out a budget to attend GP Kyoto I have realized I will basically be forced to sell some stuff to go to Japan and finish my deck. I was hoping to gr some advice on how to proceed. I have 4 goyfs, 2 volcanic islands, 2 tropical island and 2 wastelands. So my first thought was to just play 3 FoW's and maybe play an island and a taiga instead of the third copies of volcanic and tropical island. For those experienced with this, I'd really like to know how viable this is.
So I'm thinking to order goes as such:
1. FoW
2. FoW
3. FoW
4. Wasteland
5. Wasteland
6. Tropical Island
7. Volcanic Island
8. FoW

Advice?
The FoWs and Wastes are definitely the priority. I think you can *probably* get by with 4 island duals, just up your fetch count to compensate. Ideally, having one more source is a good idea so you can't have all four of your sources Wasted by an opponent's four wastelands, but that will rarely happen anyways, and Stifle can make up for some of that difference.
So I think your order is probably good, I'd just say maybe bump the fourth FoW to between your two duals. I'd also say maybe put the Volcanic before the Trop, since you sometimes need to go Bolt, Bolt (or Sulfuric Vortex from the board)

I'd rather substitute the duals for shocklands than just up the fetchland count. Doing so will leave you extremely vulnerable to land destruction, and the opponent will be able to cut you off a color very easily. Fetch duals when you need an untapped land, and just get the shockland EOT ot in the late game when yu already fetched the other 2. The 2 life isn't as much of a dealbreaker in a tempo Delver deck than in slower decks like Jund or UWR Stoneblade.
Another viable option is to run a Taiga and a basic Island instead of the two blue duals. I still prefer the shocklands a little more but that's up to you. I used to run Patriot Delver without a third Volcanic Island and just used a Steam Vents instead. Usually I never saw it unless I got my 2 Volcanic Islands destroyed. It's just something to keep in mind, fetch it tapped EOT when the opponent is tapped out, and there won't be any consecuence.
The best option is to borrow them. Just ask nicely
One other thing to keep in mind though is if you draw/open with it, and you need to play the land. You're then forced to either commit to it being tapped or commit to shocking yourself for it to be untapped. Still though, not the worst thing when it's only a 1-of.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.
Thanks for all the replies everyone! I am coming around on the shocklands over the duals, it kind of hurts me but I think budget-wise it makes the most sense. What is everyone's opinion on these two land bases?
Landbase A:
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Wasteland
2 Tropical Island
2 Volcanic Island
1 Steam Vents
1 Island
Landbase B:
4 Misty Rainforest
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Wasteland
2 Tropical Island
2 Volcanic Island
1 Steam Vents
1 Breeding Pool
You want the second option. RUG has a bothersome weakness of, should the game go long, someone can waste you off a colour. If you cut your options down to only two Tropical with no back up, you will lose games based on someone wasting you off green.

Building rug delver you look like you have them prioritized right.
I'm not sure if rug is viable with ur delver as good as it is atm though.
Another viable option is to run a Taiga and a basic Island instead of the two blue duals. I still prefer the shocklands a little more but that's up to you.
