Gorgon's Head can seriously improve our little guys, it's better than a second wayfinder.

Then the 2x Great Hart and Ephara's Radiance cause they're in color.

This. Head is good and I don't understand why it's still in the pack. And playing a Pillarfield Ox in this deck is not unreasonable.

It's like Poetry.

Head, Heart
Radiance, Heart

I have almost never seen Gorgon's Head OR Great Hart played. I mean, I played Gorgon's head in my first BTT draft (minotaurs) and it was ... ok. Hart I guess is OK in full block, but there are literally 30 better non-rare 4 drops.

At 30 cards, there's a 1/6 chance of Ajani being in the top 5 cards.
I'd really just not take the risk since I'd probably be really angry if it really did mill it, and will affect my state of mind pretty awfully for the remainder of that game.
a) Wayfinder looks at top 4. b) you shouldn't make bad plays just to manipulate your psychology. if you're worried about your ability to properly process statistics, get better at that instead of purposefully playing poorly.

That's all very well, and I may be wrong, and if there were no other ways to get to a land in the block, I'd play the Wayfinder. But I will always play the Font over it. Again, this presumes I have a deck that actually benefits from playing a Font. Ours is not that kind of a deck, unless you count the small number of playables, which might force us to play a landcycler.
but Font wasn't in the pack. look, I'm not arguing we need to play the Wayfinder. we may not, although with our top end I do like mana consistency. but the point is, the existence of a bomb in our deck doesn't change that. not just that it's not a big deal, but that it's literally statistically irrelevant. the only thing wayfinder does in relation to affecting our chances of playing Ajani is reduce the number of games where we draw him but only have 4 lands. that's my point, and the numbers bear me out.

as for this pick, Head, Sands, Radiance, Hart.

Wayfinders self mill is kind of like shuffling. But with some knowledge of what is on the "bottom" (assuming you have nothing at all that cares about the graveyard)

Sure, and thank you for the analysis. I never worked it out before. We do have two Fonts in the deck. And for this one, I fully support your choices :)

That's a hell of a bit of luck there getting a powerful rare in our colors.

Lion, hoping for either Verdict or Scorpion on the wheel.
