when i saw this card i instantly thought of 1 almost infinite combos 1: Perilous Forays + Zendikar's Roil and Amulet of Vigor. and almost anything else with this 3 card combo and you can do almost anything. so lets break this Zendikar's Roil combo and make people consider using it in every deck.

if you're going with amulet and lands, you want lands that do stuff. also you want ways to capitalize even more on your lands entering the battlefield. So Khalni Garden is a good land to choose. Lotus Cobra or any other landfall card are awesome. lands that dig like Mosswort Bridge are also pretty sweet.

to abuse Zendikar's Roil one could run Doubling Season. The good thing about the combo is that, given a couple extra untapped lands to start, you can be tutoring for Mosswort Bridge with mana open to use it (assuming you meet the requirement). which helps dig for your other cards like Lotus Cobra and Doubling Season. not sure it would be a /good/ deck, and I can't see it being better than bloom titan, but it is really fun and I'm happy to see people using the card. I sideboard it in abzan CoCo in standard against control or other grindy matchups (like abzan mirror) because it provides difficult to counter threats off of my lands, so I'm never drawing an entirely dead card.

I didn't notice the land you search for has to have a basic land type, that makes this much less fun. still. Dryad Arbor exists and counts. Sapseep Forest as a one-of because why not?
