Questions

Should I drop Krosan Drover for straight up Ramp?

Lands are harder to remove than a Krosan Drover and land ramping enables for all of my cards to come out faster. However, Krosan Drover plays off the elf synergy so well and it makes all 6+ CMC drops 2 mana cheaper. At 4CMC I haven't found ramp that drops 2 lands on the field in this format. Which means Ulamog's Crusher and Pathbreaker Wurm can come out faster with Krosan Drover.
