What kind of crazy ramp or hand replenishment would you need to warrant Exploration and Burgeoning in the same deck? Damia seems like she'd love the latter, but I can't stop myself from wanting to use both.
Exploration is way better than Burgeoning on basically any turn other than the first two or three. Damia is fantastic with both since she lets you refill your hand all the time, but by the time you have seven mana, you may not need a ton more ramp. The way I see them is that they are more explosive than your standard Rampant Growth, but also less reliable.
The Azusa, Lost but Seeking player in my group runs both, if only to increase the odds of drawing one early. The consensus in the group is that Exploration is better than Burgeoning if only because of the "From the Hand" stipulation that Burgeoning has. Not much help when you have Oracle of Mul Daya and are mostly "top decking" your lands.

I think my 5-color control deck has both. Lots of card draw means both get their mileage. I think Damia's natural choice too. Really, any deck running a lot of draw could probably make stellar use out of it.
well p much any deck which wants one wants the other so i don't get the question in the op. odds of drawing one doubles, odds of drawing BOTH are really really low in a 99card deck (and you can partial one away if they're each in the opening seven too)

Additionally, isn't running both a better way to see at least one per game?
But to answer your question, Lands.dec.
Also Burgeoning is fnatastic with Storm Cauldron!
