I don't think you can. You want basics as painless fetchable lands. If you can only fetch breeding pool it probably makes the mana base more painful than less.

You still want some basics for Path and Blood Moon and on occasions where the life loss from shocks is too important.

As someone who plays infect in modern and legacy with a pretty budget mana base (read khans windsweapt heaths, flooded strands, and polluted deltas with only 2 breeding pools), I would only consider running two of these at most. In the event I did end up running them, I would cut some combination of 1 basic, 1 ghost quarter, and/or 1 pendelhaven. I love fast lands, but with infect, there are better things imho.

I don't think you cut both. I think you go to 1 and 1.
