First at all, if I´m in a Subforum it is not possible to go to the latest posting of a thread. Maybe, I´m just to dumb to find it. If this feature isn´t in yet, you should upgrade the FAQ in this point.
EDIT: Dumb me found it
Second, in the FAQ, if you are using the Black Version of the Forum, the font colour isn´t correct. There are some points, where the font colour is black although it should be white.
Sincerly,
Kathal
PS: The new Forum is pretty insane, love it

That are non-games for a whole bunch of decks. That those decks are mostly combo decks, is a different topic.
It is basically the same as the Zombie Loam deck, which had a 60-40 Eldrazie match-up during Eldrazie winter and even better afterwards (yeah, I know, it was absurd...), especially post banning of Eye playing Eldrazie vs that deck you just felt absolutely helpless. Nothing what you did mattered, just what the opp did. Those are the worst kind of games, cause mana flood or screw at least there is something you can blame on (to say it this way) instead of the "welp, you just got an auto loss paring". Ponza vs Tron is another prime example on those kind of match-ups.

I personally have no problem with this (so a boatload of new impactful Modern cards), the ripple effects of it will be bothersome. When everything is a wild west (which I currently think will happen) than people will pile upon the few stable decks, and those are currently: Phoenix, Dredge, Whir Prison and Tron. Basically I expect an uptick of all those decks in the coming months (as in total overall metagameshare), while the rest of the metagame gets even more splintered, which makes planning for a tournament a nightmare (cause besides the top 4-5 decks, it makes the format even deeper).
Sure, fun for brewers (as myself), but will be annoying for a lot of people.

For each time you copy it (so for Storm 4 = 4 times) you will deal X additional damage (dunno if it is 3 or 1). So, a Grapeshot with 4 Storm deals 5 (1+4 Storm triggers) + 5*X damage.

Than again, having a more consistent Griselbanned deck, I doubt many players want that

a) You need to pay life, not lose life. This way, something like Unlife or Angel's Grace doesn't work with it (aka, once you are down to 1-2 life you cannot cast any more cast via it, cause you have not enough life to pay for it)
b) Double land pricks you
c) It costs 6 mana. To generate that mana early one you need play clunky cards (like Lotus Bloom) which in return are bad with it when you want to abuse it.
d) Why not slam something like Griselbrand instead and just win?

Otherwise, Tracker is another pay off card for Loam (which the deck really wants) and still decent without Loam. It is also better in a Goyf version, since you have less incentive to loop Flame Jabs for Pyro Tokens.
There are a lot of useful utility lands in Modern, just not exactly for this deck:
Arena, Buried Ruin, Academy Ruins, Cavern of Souls, Desolate Lighthouse (biggest reason to go RUG btw for me), Eiganjo Castle, Emira, the Sky Ruin, Field of Ruin, Flagstone of Trokair, Gavony Township, Ghost Quarter, Inventor's Fair, Kessig Wolf Run, Mikokoro, Center of the Sea, Moorland Haunt, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Pendelhaven, Phyrexia's Core (Hardening Scales + Graft land), Ruins of Oran-Rief, Scavenger Grounds, Sea Gate Wreckage, Sejiri Steppe (Knightfall), Slayers' Stronghold, Tecotonic Edge, Tolaria West, Tron lands, Valakut, Molten Pinnacle, Vault of the Archangel, Vesuva, and the Scrylands, Manlands, fetches and co.
Keldon Megaliths is the only one interesting I found, and that one sucks too, cause I'm close to never hellbent :/

It is only a problem, if you are falling behind on land drops, which can happen but is very rare (especially thanks to Growth Spiral).
So no, Boseiju is totally not worth it.

Regarding Insight, I tested it several times in different Loam decks, it was always bad. Lategame it does nothing (if you do not have already the Loam engine going, where you usually do not draw any cards but just dredge), early game you do not want to pitch lands cause you really need to hit your landdrops, only midgame it shines. If you want to play another cantrip, go for stuff like Tormenting Voice, which is again, not that great, but still doable. However, Commune with the Gods and Satyr Wayfinder are both better than most 2CMC Cantrips.

Note: No SB cause I have not made any thoughts about it.
No Pyro anymore, cause I really do not like him. In the RUG version he is way better, but not in the straight RG (especially when I have access to Goyf). Still not sure on the high end, Reveler is such a wonky card. Will probably cut him completely for another Tracker (like him more) and probably another low cost value card. I have him stuck in my hand way to often, so if possible, I would want to avoid all card which have a CMC higher than 3 but if I can cast them via alternative cost or I can use them from the graveyard. Rix Maadi Reveler doesn't look that bad in that slot, I just need to add a black source to be able to cast it for the Spectacle cost. With Spectacle, it does basically the same as Reveler (for a similar mana cost), without it is just a 2/2 Looter, so not that bad. Nissa, Vastwood Seer would also work in that slot btw but would require 2 Forests.
