I've seen Fieldmist Borderpost in a few decks, and I think there's something I must be missing. If you vanilla cast it for 3 mana, it comes into play tapped and can be tapped for W or U. I'm guessing you plan to alt-cast it, so it will cost 1 to cast, but kick a land to your hand (though it can be a tapped land) and it still comes into play tapped.Azorius Signet on the other hand costs 2 to cast, but it can be tapped the turn it comes into play (provided you have one free mana). It also doesn't kick a land to your hand. I'm just not seeing situations where I'd rather have the former than the latter.

its like one of those turn one lands that come in play tapped
Right, but how is that better?In a perfect world, T1 you drop a land, tap for 1, kick it to your hand, and play FB. T2 you play a land, and now have access to two mana. T3 you play another land and have access to 3 mana.vs. T1 you drop a land and can play something with it, T2 you drop a land and play a Azorius Signet, and have access to 1 mana, T3 you drop a land and now have access to 4 mana.In a best case opening hand scenario Fieldmist Borderpost gives you an advantage of 1 mana on T2 at the cost of having 1 less in T1 and 1 less in every turn from 3 onward. And that's just with a Signet; Sol Ring is going to be an infinitely better choice than either, and if you have room to run both Sol Ring combos better with a Signet because you can T1 land->Sol Ring->Signet giving you five mana on T2.I actually run Borderposts in a couple of decks and like them, but I run them in decks that also have Sol Ring, Signets, Talismans, Medallions, Monoliths, Thran Dynamo, and in some cases Worn Powerstone. It's a good artifact, but it's not one that when faced with a choice becomes my number 1 choice. Clearly it is for some people though, and I'm curious because I personally can't find the math to support it.
it was on the floor when I built this deck so it found a way in, that's all
