Ok, so after a game against Gummuh, I really got to wondering, is Cloudpost + Glimmerpost better, or would it be better to pursue the Urza Tron lands? I'm a bit torn, so could I get some input on this?
Urza lands are harde to get into play but ultimately lead to more mana in my experience.
I'd go with cloud post and glimmer post because with eldrazi, you need to stall a bit. The glimmer post will give you a life source to linger on for a bit.
But playing devils advocate on myself, you can get more mana with the urzas and therefore can get out eldrazi faster.
Its not so much getting them out as it is are they going to be fast enough? I have gotten 2 {Cloudpost}s and a {Glimmerpost} out T3 before. That's ten mana on T3. Compared to the tron lands 7. It seems like the tron lands could potentially be faster, though. I have a couple ways of shuffling, drawing, and 4 {Expedition Map}s, so I'm not terribly worried about getting them in my hand.

2 cloudpost + glimmerpost = 10 mana?
Somebody tell me I'm wrong
Cloudpost, glimmerpost, and {vesuva}

lol I don't know where I was getting that. It is 7. It'd be nice to be able to count to 10 :P
