Esper in Ravnica Part 1

Here's my deck as it stands.
With the remaining shock lands coming in January, There is an interesting question I need to ask myself; how should the land makeup go?
I want to stick with Esper (and if both Orzhov and Azorius [Azorius a given] have good control cards; that will happen), but I am struggling on how to inject the Hallowed Fountains and the Godless Shrines in the deck. I want to try to keep as many of the check lands as I can; while keeping the basics in place.
Any suggestions?

Lord_Barrin You're in a format where Assassin's Trophy and Field of Ruin are widely used. Taking the basics out leaves you vulnerable to getting no upside to losing something to either

Why are the basics so important? The shocks count as both land types so they synergize really well with the checks. That's why the checks always seem to crawl out of the woodwork just before a Ravnica set...
