This is not a deck. This is a list of staple cards.

Some of the cards are not here because they're the most powerful. For example, Myriad Landscape isn't exactly the best ramp in the world, but some decks don't have access to many options, so it makes the list anyways because of its ease of slotting in.

There are a lot of green dorks who tap for mana, so only the best handful are included.

Cards that fetch land types are better than cards that fetch basics because you can go get triomes or shocklands or other non-basics with the land types. And since these cards typically put the lands into play tapped, the downsides of those lands are effectively negated.

Arcane Signet is also a stand in for all of the guild signets. Seemed silly to list them all.

There's a bias here towards cheaper and land based ramp. Yes, there are bigger ramp spells that generate more mana, but that's a different thing. Consider anything that costs more than 5 out of scope. And right at 5, it better do a lot.
