Maindecking Tsabo's Web in Machine Head in order to help alleviate black-red midrange's lack of amazing 2-drops in Premodern. Web can steal games on its own, and at worst is a 2-mana cantrip that leaves an artifact behind (helpful in edge cases against cards like Tangle Wire and Braids, Cabal Minion).

Traditional Machine Head landbases have never felt great to me. Ghitu Encampment is underwhelming, and color production is a real issue when including Wasteland or Mishra's Factory, neither of which seem as necessary here as they do in other shells. Play Web instead!?
