That may be true, but having that guaranteed creature can aid in a mid-ranged deck. This especially if you're playing with cards that need sac engines such as
morkrut necropod. If you want to offset
the gitrog monster then the only cards that are really available at the moment (in standard at least) are the GREEN cards that
recycle your lands from this block, cards from BFZ such as;
loam larva,
natural connection,
nissa's renewal,
pulse of murasa,
swell of growth, and
sylvan scrying.
There really doesn't seem like too much land recursion in this block (probably because of the emphasis on
delirium) but like I said earlier, having a free creature isn't a bad thing. Get that 1/1 insect creature then play
swell of growth either on your turn or your opponent's and you've got a good blocker for a turn or a nice swing. Combo that with
grotesque mutation as well and you've got a (1/1) that goes (3/3) and then (6/4).
