How To Build The Best Five-Color Manabase At Any Budget | Commander Quickie 

Seriously, I would be interested in that.

I mean it would just be running the same or a similar amount of each one depending on your deck

@@dotmp3883 i'd honestly go with a green base and green ramp that searches for other colors, stuff like cultivate and the such, along with the usual artifacts

@@ShinkuDragon yeah, as someone that has actually built almost pure basics golos, it's all about having 2-3 of each non-forest and the rest forests. Then I ran a shit load of land ramp to do the mana fixing for me.

@@emctwoo good to hear because i am waiting for my stargazer secret lair to make god tribal and with child of alara spiking golos or morophon are the new commanders

That's awesome!

Respect

This is definitely a viable way to build 5C manabase! I've ran a Gates deck myself. I consider that a niche version though and I wanted to talk generic so I didn't mention it here, but it's good.

I’ve got to 9 gates before and lost but I refuse to give up!

Pillar of the Paruns seems good, or not? Of course it depends on the number of multicolored spells in the deck, but I would suppose that the majority of 5c decks run a fair amount.

I run this for a Jodah/Golos budget build: Lands: 1 Arcane Sanctum 1 Command Tower 1 Crumbling Necropolis 1 Evolving Wilds 1 Exotic Orchard 10 Forest 1 Frontier Bivouac 4 Island 1 Jungle Shrine 4 Mountain 1 Mystic Monastery 1 Nomad Outpost 1 Opulent Palace 4 Plains 1 Sandsteppe Citadel 1 Savage Lands 1 Seaside Citadel 4 Swamp 1 Terramorphic Expanse Ramp and mana fixing: 1 Kiora's Follower 1 Faeburrow Elder 1 Mina and Denn, Wildborn 1 Renegade Map 1 Traveler's Amulet 1 Wanderer's Twig 1 Farseek 1 Rampant Growth 1 Bonder's Ornament 1 Chromatic Lantern 1 Cultivate 1 Darksteel Ingot 1 Far Wanderings 1 Grow from the Ashes 1 Ancient Excavation 1 Deathsprout 1 Explosive Vegetation 1 Firemind Vessel 1 Pulse of Llanowar 1 Migratory Route 1 Sylvan Reclamation 1 Grave Upheaval 1 Treacherous Terrain

@tomerabramovici32 at my lgs they only do duel commander for fnm. I have the urge to make a kenrith the returned king focusing on destroying lands. Was thinking doing this using all creatures or only mass effect spells. Any ideas?

It's what I use instead of the expensive fetches

I agree, the mirage fetchlands are solid when paired with dual lands that enter untapped, as you mention. If they're fetching duals that enter tapped then they're much worse. I'll try to better highlight them in the article, thank you!

Dude that's cool. Do you use tutors to grab you pieces or do you let fate and chance decide?

Ehh I really don't know if the payoff is worth it even at the ultra budget level.

This is the kind of jank I signed up for

Surveyor's Scope works a similar way. I like to play this kind of cards combined with bounce- and (budget) fetchlands. bouncing a priori or activating Surveyor's Scope in response to sacrifice fetches gives the time window where we have less lands. :)

If people like these then I'd be happy to do manabase guides for all color combinations.

@@tomerabramovici32 That would be extremely helpful! Me and my friends are getting into Commander using websites online, and some of them are fairly new to the game.

I’ve never seen dockside and barrin in cedh

Also Dockside+Temur Sabertooth

how is that working out for you? i personally tried using amulet of vigor, but in the end didn't like it.. I eventually ended up using bouncelands as well as extra land drops effects (Like Burgeoning). having access to Golos as the commander also helps mana-fixing/land drops is also a godsend.

Agreed!

I think setting yourself back a land drop isn't worth it in general, however it can be strong in a 5C deck that consistently plays additional lands per turn such as with Growth Spiral effects.

Niv-Mizzet, Ramos? I guess you can always shift towards green more because of fixing, but you'll need consistency if your deck plan requires so.

also if you care about fixing but are already running ramp lair lands are pretty amazing

Well, it's a strictly better Tendo Ice Bridge and it still produces colorless. Better than Mirrodin's Core for sure.

Curse of Opulence is really good though

@@tomerabramovici32 Oh I quite agree! I'm just bummed I can't consider it budget as I only play online nowadays and the online version is somehow 15 times pricier than the paper one.

"Sounds like" is appropriate.

Slow fetches with cycle lands are awful though. Since slow fetches enter tapped, you need a dual that can enter untapped or you'll have a two turn delay before getting mana out of the slow fetch, which is just terrible. Slow fetches with battle lands and the occasional shock is probably the way to go.

Lol that’s so true and everyone does that
