Updates and Mana Base Concerns —March 24, 2015
So Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas and Abrupt Decay both made it into the mainboard, replacing Galvanic Blast completely. With those changes come new issue though. The manabase needs to be updated to reflect the new setup and more intense color requirements, and I can't seem to find a consensus on what the best path to take is. There are three slots in the main to put some lands in. Right now I'm running
to test them out and see which one fits the best. Other options are:
We want to stay away from tapped lands, because we need our colors early for digging. We also want to stay away from pain as much as possible since burn is our worst matchup. The ideal land here would be a speedland in BG, but that doesn't exist unfortunately. Suggestions?
EDIT: After testing most of these options out, I've settled on Gemstone Mines for now. 3 any color taps is always enough to do what we need and enough time to get to another land to replace it. Just works.

Considering cutting Galvanic Blast all together. The recommendation from cdsboy is to find a spot for Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas in the deck somewhere, but I don't want to sacrifice lock strength or consistency to make that happen.
Replacing a single Galvanic Blast with him is arguable, since he's adding more consistency than the blast. I will be a little weaker to early aggro though, Affinity and Zoo. Because of that the second Galvanic Blast should probably be replaced by some removal, either Abrupt Decay or Surgical Extraction. Not sure which one is better in this context.
