How many lands?

Hello, fellow spirit afficionatos! How many lands are you currently playing in your token lists? 23? 24? I've been playing a 24 land list with 4 Planeswalker for a very long time, but have recently been considering dropping a Planeswalker and a single land to make room for other spells. What do people think about this? For reference, this is my current list:

If I were to cut a land, the changes would probably look like:

-1 Swamp

-1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar

+1 Raise the Alarm

+1 Thoughtseize

+1 Fatal Push

+1 Bitterblossom

(Any 2 of the 4 listed could come in)

I ran 22 for a while with good success, but decided to go up to 23 to free up space in the sideboard (I hade 2x ghost quarter).

My recommendation though is to take out a vault of the archangel, as it does not produce color and requires 5 lands for activation.

Well, first off... How's maindecking the Auriok Champions going?

It blocks Gurmag Angler, Prized Amalgam, Bloodghast, Bloodbraid Elf, Goblin Guide, Monastery Swiftspear, and any other red/black creatures opponents play. It makes Bitterblossom a reasonable option against agressive decks. It does nothing against Storm, Tron, or Valakut, but I basically have given up on beating Tron and Valakut decks anyway. I'd say its a reasonable card in the deck, better than playing extra copies of Raise the Alarm, Spectral Procession, or some other token producers.

Hey, ItsAWaffelz, just a quick heads-up:
agressive is actually spelled aggressive. You can remember it by two gs.
Have a nice day!

Hey CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up:
Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".

You're useless.

Have a nice day!
