Topic: Which card is better?

I'm having trouble deciding which card to put in my deck. Lots of people play farseek but I feel like caravan vigil is the better card.

Depends on the format. EDH, Farseek is strictly better because you can tutor for a dual land and turns 1-3 don't really matter as much in EDH as other formats.

A few things

1.  Farseek can get Shocklands into play since shocklands count as Swamp/Forest/Mountain/Island/Plain etc.

2.  Farseek has a guaranteed acceleration (putting the mana into play).  Caravan Vigil is very dependent on your deck.

I literally just noticed today that they say Swamp/Forest/Mountain/Island/Plain etc. Duh right!

Vigil feels like a non-land Evolving wilds to me, most of the time. Occasionally you will get a cheap rampant growth, but not always, and good cards are consistent cards.

Caravan vigil is just basic land smoothing. Farseek is actual acceleration. If you want that turn 3 sublime archangel or turn 4 thragtusk, only one of them will get you there.

Note that it doesn't get forests unless that forest has another basic land type.
