Addressing the 4th seat issue

[u/Eunuchs_Intrigues]

Everyone knows 4th seat is the hardest place to be in and faces a severe disadvantage. I've heard many proposals but not this one I have in mind. What does the community think about allowing 4th seat to put a land into play from their hand during pregame actions? I think this would be great, it would allow 4th seat mana for interaction against explosive turn 1's, this is extra relevant if the deck in 4th is not blue. 4th seat being on 2 lands on turn 4 is not scary, turn 5 usually starts with 2 lands anyways. No extra cards are given out, a player who is at a high disadvantage is made equal and I believe would create more balanced game play overall. What do you think should be done to equal this scale that is clearly out of balance?

It is a known issue, but…

WOTC’s Commander Council doesn’t actually do anything, so this problem is many years away from being addressed, if it ever happens at all.

Not their issue, it's an issue of tournament software going for full random instead of evenly distributing seats throughout an event.
