One thing that really surprised me was the Fountainport Bell being one of his highest drafted cards. I understand it's colourless, so it goes in every deck, but isn't it a card you should avoid unless you're splashing (which is bad in this set mostly right?)? Or unless you really need ways to get cards into your graveyard for dimir, but that seems like a bad reason to include a card in your deck. If you're just playing a two colour deck ChordOCalls was saying he includes it as his 17th land most of the time (i.e. he cuts one land and plays the bell). But isn't it almost always better to just play the 17th land if you're not splashing? The card has bad stats, and it makes sense to me that it would have bad stats: if you have to pay 2 mana to play a land then it's terrible and the only time it's better than a land is when you're in the super late game when drawing a land is really bad in which case it's a 2 mana cycle, which is still not great, and that situation is sort of rare right?

Would you avoid the Uncharted Haven? This card is pretty much a better version of the Haven - not strictly better but not far. Win rate will never be amazing - because it is still technically a land. But one copy in almost every deck and maybe 2 copies in some decks that use it best is my default. One exception is some aggro that relies on 1 drops. BR, WG or WR potentially.
