Should there be a special section for things that add lands to hand but don't strictly ramp? Like Armillary Sphere, Wanderer's Twig?

That is a huge list of solid suggestions Uskebasi. Thanks for lending out a hand to make all these suggestions!

What would you suggest Optimator about a seperate category for cards you suggested? (Armillary Sphere, Wanderer's Twig?)

Thanks for a solid list of suggestions DaringApprentice!

All your suggestions have been added! Keep them coming in and looking forward to any suggestions to improve the usability of this list.

Cards like Land Tax, Wanderer's Twig, Armillary Sphere, etc. don't actually ramp. The fact that they guarantee extra land is ramp-like though. More so in EDH than regular formats, I'd say (since aiming for a large mana count is common in EDH). They also fix mana colors, which ramp often does. Perhaps they deserve mentioning since they are a similar resource to what people are looking for in this guide?

Edit: I guess you could just expand the honorable mentions section to include cards like that or rename the section

Primeval Titan is banned and should be taken off the list.

Thank you for this list!
Storm the Vault  Flip seems like a good add, since it's basically Tolarian Academy after you flip it. The Immortal Sun ramps by knocking a generic mana off your spells. Azor's Gateway  Flip as it can add X mana based off your life total once you flip it.
I'd also consider extra land drops to be ramp, but that's debatable, so I'd either leave them off or honorable mention them (Azusa, Lost but Seeking, The Gitrog Monster, Explore, Wayward Swordtooth, Exploration, etc.

Good suggestions kozad. They have all been added to the list.

If you spot new stuff from the recent sets, then let me know!

Extra land drops are indeed ramp. It's more potent and noticeable in regular 60-card formats but it's ramp nonetheless.

Treasure Map  Flip is ramp-y. Boreas Charger, Centaur Rootcaster,

Some more honorable mentions: Renegade Map, Pilgrim's Eye, Mycosynth Wellspring, Skittering Surveyor, Thaumatic Compass  Flip (might be real ramp, what with the flipping), Traveler's Amulet, Evolution Charm, Attune with Aether, Caravan Vigil, Lay of the Land, Sylvan Ranger, Traverse the Ulvenwald, Realm Seekers

I was thinking, perhaps the familiars should be put in their respective 3-color shards? Or both sections.

Grow from the Ashes, Harvest Season, Journey of Discovery, Map the Wastes, Natural Connection

Honorable mentions: Gift of Estates, Greenseeker, Horizon Spellbomb, Journeyer's Kite, Journey for the Elixir, Knight of the Reliquary, Krosan Tusker, Land Grant, Loam Larva

I know it is mediocre at best, but Manakin is technically ramp.

Isn’t Path to Exile ramp since you can target your own creatures? I feel like that deserves a mention
