Deck discussion for Cookin' Gruel • Modern

I see Asmo, I like!
I brewed several Asmo/Food decks, and play Asmo - Trash for Treasure in paper.
Inti seems to be a good fit in a low mana curve.
I play Steelseeker not only to get the lands, but to put my Trash for Treasure targets in the graveyard. It is a very grindy and slow card.
Inti is something of the opposite.
Since you play Inti, i wonder if you would profit more of Shrapnel Blast, or Lightning Bolts instead of a playset Steelseeker. It would be more explosive, and maximize your top deck, that you then exile and may play with the Inti trigger. In comparison to my Trash for Treasure version: Inti would be terrible there, since there are many bad cards to exile with Inti, because of the high CMC. My version wants to maximize on Steelseeker, while yours might want do maximize value on Inti. While both cards work in the deck, and even synergise (scry your top of library with Steelseeker, then profit with Inti exile trigger), you might want to focus more on Inti in this version of the deck.

Also, from personal experience: While I like the flavor of playing Galvanic Blast, it is more reliable to just play Lightning Bolt. Sadly...
You think it is easy to enable Galvanic Blast with all the Food and other artifacts, but Modern is a fast, competetive format. You need your Food to remove threats, your construct tokens will usually be quickly be disposed of, and suddenly you are left with something like two Cookbooks, missing that one last artifact. Even my Cookbooks get hated nowadays, since my playgroup is aware of the power and synergies that comes with them. It is easier to enable a Shrapnel Blast, and overall, it is more reliable to just play Bolt.

Are you certain, that you need 23 lands? I have been very content with only 22 lands, without even playing Wrenn and Six (only because I don't own it). With your curve peaking at 2, and the ability to recycle lands, I suggest 21 lands. You can be greedy and try 20 lands for a while and see how it works out for you.
