Actually. I think I figured out a build that can work two colors without shock lands. Inspired by an intro pack

In this case, I am looking for {breeding pool} {stomping grounds} and {sacred foundery}

Edit: what about mana auxiliary creatures like {Llanowar elves} or whatever there called?
Mana dorks, they are very nice, right now Standard has {Arbor Elf} and {Avacyn's Pilgrim}, not bad.

For Budget decks, Guildgates work as a decent Shock replacement, and {Evolving Wilds} isn't half bad either!

Let's not forget  {Somberwald Sage}! He's the leader of the dorks.

What if someone built a deck full of mana dorks and took advantage of it to cast really sick, kick @$$ combos. The deck could be called..."revenge of the nerds!"

No kidding!  If i have any kind of removal held back, I instantly just say "screw countering your bomb, kill the sage!"

I feel like {axebane guardian} is often overlooked. He doesn't even need other defenders to work. I mean yeah, he cost three, but he can be brought out faster with other dorks, and he isn't color specific like {avacyn's pilgrim} and {arbor elf} is.

Going to have to agree.  The only time I see him used is in conjunction with {Bonfire of the Damned} and the {U} AVR card that allows infinite mana.  The name of that card escapes me though...

{Galvanic Alchemist}!  That's it.

Theres also a thing in gatecrash that makes all your lands dual lands, I forget what its called though

Esper needs shocks to have {Plains} open to {Terminus} on an opponents turn off a {Thought Scour} or something that draws you a card out of turn. Besides that, no, I don't "need" them. I'm happy playing draw-go as long as someone lets me, just gives me more time to find answers and stabilize.
