Martyr Life: Why Weathered Wayfarer?
Modern forum

Why is Weathered Wayfarer included in almost all Martyr Life builds? I find myself always unhappy to have that card in my hand, it’s never a useful draw, and I side it out almost every single game 2. It still shows up in almost all other decks. Clearly I am missing something, and I would like to know what before I remove it to make room for something else.
I think Tron is probably the reason that it's in people's decklists. Tron is one of, if not the worst matchup for Martyr decks.

Well that all makes much more sense to me. Would anyone agree it’s a sideboard cars given that Tron and control are really when you want to see it? I have 2 Tron players in my LGS and one who plays Oko control. Everyone else plays either burn or infect, except the single Jund player.

IMO, Weathered Wayfarer is extremely solid vs Tron (fetching Ghost Quarter and Field of Ruin for days) and Control (fetching my singleton Cavern of Souls ). I find it kinda meh against other decks though ... I mean, fetching Mistveil Plains is fine, but any White fetchland works too, and filtering Flagstones of Trokair out of the deck is fine, but that's not really worth a card slot alone.
