Wanted to quickly share a fun little combo that I've been toying around with in MP. Lotus Field has been doing a ton of work in Pioneer and Standard and it boasts powerful synergy with Surveyor's Scope in 4+ player games. The "God draw" is turn 2 Scope into turn 3 Field and the beauty here is that it works in any deck of any color. Green is king for cards like Crop Rotation and Sylvan Scrying but there's nothing wrong with Expedition Map so you always have access to colorless options. Blue has cantrips, Black has tutors, Red has rummaging, White sucks, you get the idea. You can also wait until post-Lotus Field to cast your Surveyor's Scope if removal is a concern and I'm clearly not advocating that you blindly run it out on turn 2 if you have reason to suspect that one or more players have Shatters in their decks. My point is that you have the option to curve turn 2 Scope into turn 3 Field for 7 mana on turn 4. Thespian's Stage is another huge payoff for Lotus Field which ensures that future copies of Expedition Map et al. are still live draws well into the lategame.
Note that this isn't the only way to abuse Surveyor's Scope but it's clearly one of the easiest. Karoos are also fantastic at enabling it, especially when paired with Fetchlands. The trick is to curve something like turn 1 basic, turn 2 Karoo, turn 3 fetch + Scope. You can then crack your fetch, hold priority and crack your Surveyor's Scope with the search trigger on the stack. At this point you still only have 1 land in play to (presumably) everyone else's 3 enabling the full combo. This is obviously more convoluted than the Lotus Field combo but it's still relatively easy to pull off. You can also do the same thing with multiple fetchlands or abuse things like Mox Diamond.
