The Top 15 Lands in Commander 

"Creatures are the most common creature type" ... MIC DROP... 100% accurate.

You can have a deck without creatures, just have a planeswalker as your commander

Cherries is fighting with every fiber in his being not to say 'completely insane' in the episode where it is probably accurate to say for each card. Keep up the great content!

Tomb of the grave titan: taps for black. 4BB tap put a token called “grave titan” with death touch into play

29:24 Fun Fact: You can actually play a deck with no creatures if you have one of the Planeswalkers that let's you play them as your Commander. (P.S. I'm not sure if anyone is doing that, but I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Will & Rowan, or Saheeli, spellslinger deck out there.)

Forest is imo the best land. It opens up a TON of amazing turn 1 plays and Mana fixing. Outside of Llanowar, Fyndorn, and Mystic elves we also have access to alternative Mana dorks (avacyns/BoP). While people generally say islands are better since blue is the best color, but a turn 1 island is much less impactful than a turn 1 forest.

damn joe cherries looking slick in that all black

Yesterday I had Valakut on the field and then cast Genesis Wave for 31 hitting Ashaya AND Dryad of the Elysian Fields... That was amazing.

Strip Mine for dayzzzz! Other lands I love Vesuva, Lake of the Dead, Dust Bowl, Planeshift Lairs, Modern Horizon ''Canopy'' Lands, Volrath Stronghold, Hall of Heliods Generosity, Deserted Temple, ''Pain'' lands, Winding Canyon :P

This episode was *completely insane*

A fun little wrinkle with Tabernacle is that the creature is destroyed and not sacrificed, whereas the Magus says sacrifice. Ulamog laughs at your puny Tabernacle trigger.

Exotic Orchid is another good untapped land.

Few things warm my black mage heart more than hearing beezy cry about cabal coffers on a regular

Great video, I personally don't play any fetches in any deck unless I care about landfall, very specific. Never had a problem mana fixing without them but I understand why people love them

I beat recently a Winter Orb with a Cabal Coffers and a Sol Ring. The Nitpicking Nerds would have melted watching this game.

Command Tower is also great because it's super budget and included (I think) in every pre-constructed Commander deck (along with Sol Ring and Arcane Signet). I mean banning it wouldn't be that big of deal for veteran players that have all the possible lands ever printed (although yeah it's the best land in every 3+ colors commander decks), but it would really hit the new players, but, again, I don't think it's ever going to be be bannes since it's been a stable presence in every pre-constructed decks since I think the 1st edition.

Bazaar of Bagdad has 'discard two' if you happen to have a Grave Titan.

the best land in commander is swamp you can tap it and add 1 black to your mana pool

There’s also Pendrell Mists, a 4-mana enchantment (also Reserved List, I believe).

My crusade against coffers in non mono black continues. Single target land destruction is getting more and more important and i always love to let people tutor for coffers in 3+ color decks to stripmine their urborg

If you turn lands into creatures and attack with city of brass it becomes tapped and deals a damage so it would be the worst of the two

Not sure if it was printed after the video was made but the world tree is great for mana fixing and making other lands tap for any color gives cabal coffers something to tap for while your waiting to draw that tomb of yawgmoth.

*laughs in creature-less Windgrace not using Gaea's Cradle*

Excellent video as always. I play Beezy's Karametra combo deck he posted at some point on Tapped Out, it's definitely my strongest deck (with some modern upgrades). These guys definitely know their stuff and I really only watch them and Command Zone for strategy videos now

I use Magus of the Tabernacle as a replacement for Tabernacle of the Penrillvale in my mono white elesh norn stax and it puts in the work, and accidentally combos with my win con

Nice picks! Castle Garenbrig is another amazing land that basically just taps for 2 in the right deck. Also, yeee I guessed #1 right! :)

Love your channel thanks for the great content. I would however put bazar in the main because of my friends proxy (yes we play with proxies) his bazar deck killed me us all in 2 turns.

Please do a half serious shorts about the top 6 basic lands

I use Bazaar of Baghdad in my Muldrotha deck. It's pretty good!

You are pretty much right about bazaar. It's not that great in pretty much anything besides dredge but if you have a ton of dredgers in your deck you just draw like 14 cards each turn instead of 1

I can’t believe you forgot sorrows path. I put it in ALL my edh decks.

20k giveaway idea - autographed grave titan that we can confidently keep on the shelf.

What about Vesuva, it can be any one of those.

I've played Bazaar in cEDH Gitrog. Never seen it anywhere else but it's stupidly broken with the Gitfrog

I have a Bazaar of Bagdad in my Karador dredge deck. It's pretty good, always happy to topdeck it, very combo heavy. 8-9 power level. Best card in deck? No, but rock solid. Especially with Reanimates, Animate deads... etc

This video is completely insane

Allright, let me get another crack at predicting this list (in no particular order): 1. Ancient Tomb 2. Gaea’s Cradle 3. Serra’s Sanctum 4. Strip Mine / Wasteland 5. Field of the Dead 6. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 7. Cabal Coffers and Urborg (got a hunch you guys will put these together, idk) 8. City of Brass/Mana Confluence 9. Bazaar of Baghdad 10. Command Tower 11. Myriad Landscape (real iffy about this one but it’s soooo good in lower powered decks) 12. The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale 13. Mishra’s Workshop 14. Prismatic Vista 15. Phyrexian Tower (probably too specific but I know you guys won’t put maze of ith here so I had to find a 15th card 😅) Let’s see how many I get right! :)

I'm pretty sure that because of the wording of "Pay 1 life" is different than "deal's one damage to you", you can circumvent the damage with a card like Archon of Coronation but you would still lose the 1 life if you paid it. They're technically the same thing most of the time but you can get around the 1 damage but you can't get around the paying the life

Idea for the next video: Best colorless lands (field of the dead!!!)

Serra's Sanctum combos nicely with enchanted evening

I would say Bazaar is exceptionally good in *any,* recursion deck. It's just cost prohibitive for most decks because it's like a 3000 dollar card

Mana Confluence might be slightly better than City of Brass because City of Brass will still do damage to you if tapped for black mana using Urborg’s ability

What's amazing to me is that, despite running nearly all of the multi-mana lands, rituals and abusing Phyrexian mana, K'rrik manages to be just one of many solid Commander decks, rather than the juggernaut it looks like on paper. Still loooove it though!

Glacial Chasm is a good land in land decks too.

Thank you!!! Yes, I absolutely can’t stand Gaea’s Cradle in EDH. It’s a card I will complain about when people proxy it.

Really surprised lake of the dead did not make into this list

"Plays a land drop- OH MY GOD I CAN'T WIN" I can't with this line. It had me dying

Poor fetchlands cycle, not strong enough individually like the Serra's Sanctum/Gaea's Cradle/Phyrexian Tower cycle :P I'm actually kinda curious to see Mishra's Workshop in action, because at first glance it seems like the build-around cost is too high for just one extra mana than Ancient Tomb.

Urborg combos with karma and a way to return it to hand, like trade routes.

So sad I sold my old city of brass about 15 years ago when I was a kid and had no idea how good it was :P loved the original art too :(

"Puts you ahead in a landslide" you slide-og you

So with how much you guys hate on the reserve list would you guys ever consider making lists of strong cards without reserve list cards, or reserve list cards as honorable mentions, or maybe splitting the list in two, or naming more non-reserve list cards as honorable mentions (or something to this effect)?

I would argue that Cabal Coffers is better than Nyxthos because it allows for better recovery from things like board wipes because it only requires your lands to be on the field. Other than that great list guys. Thanks.

"Black is not really about big mana" - Nerds Bubbling muck would like a word

Alchemist’s Refuge is my all time favorite land. The ability to flash out a big spell before my turn starts changes the game. Let me flash out this Tooth and Nail and then cast Expropriate on my turn.

Where would Tolarian Academy rank if it could be ranked?

Point of order: there are planeswalkers which can be your commander, so it is possible, but not likely to build a creatureless deck.

My friend plains urborg in a mono white deck to use the black hate cards in white

Tabernacle is just around 2000 Euros in Europe if you go for a lightly played italian one. For 5000 USD i would expect an english one in quite a nice condition.

Kinda sad Yavimaya, cradle of growth didn't even get a mention... I mean It's just a green version of Urborg but man I have seen it do some work especially if your playing with Timber Protector and Ashaya, soul of the wild. I've seen this thrown in an Omnath locus of creation deck along with tons of ways to tutor for creatures and lands to bring them out and always be hitting your landfall triggers.

I think this video was made after The World Tree was created and was wondering if it came up or just thoughts regarding it.

Mystic Sanctuary is a house in my Elsha of the Infinite deck. I can rip that card off the top over and over again.

Mana confluence is better than city of brass because city of brass hits you for just tapping. An opponent could tap and untap your land and kill you with that, while mana confluence doesn't have that. Even more if you have urborg or chromatic lantern you can use mana confluence without paying life.

Bazaar is pretty good in reanimator and dredge decks. I had it in my Gitrog deck for a while and it was really really good. Is it worth it to just get and play in one deck? No. But if you happen to have one or your group allows you to use a proxy, it is an amazing card.

As always i feel that alot of edh players undervalues scavenger grounds. Now im not saying its top 15 but 16 yes sir, it fits in any nongraveyard deck, can be used more then once with a little build around at little to no cost. Bazaars a strong 17 tho

In a small corner case, if your opponent taps down your City of Brass, you take the damage, but not with mana confluence. Probably own’t come up in edh, but it did in a PleasantKenobi vintage-or-legacy-i-think video

Weird for you to make a list of cards why I run Cleansing Wildfire in my decks. Also 28:45 yeah they never did that. Thank god they didn't can you imageine what modern would be like if they did that? The decks would cost you so much...

Been playtesting bazaar and I think when you want it, it's only okay

Not to brag but I got a Magus of the Bazaar with Bazaar of Baghdad writing over the card. I might put it in my Gitrog at some point.

29:25 Oh? I run my Cradle in a creatureless deck (excl Commander) and it is still BROKEN lol

Urborg + filth I also use Urborg in elesh norn and kormus bell

Guys have you considered Glacial Chasm? :) It's so dirty. One of my favorite tricks is to fetch it with crop rotation while being attacked. It's powerful enough to see play in vintage/legacy lands and it's also only a few bucks. Not enough people know about it!

Dang, i used to have a couple workshops... Wiah i still did.

Ngl, Yavimaya and urborg are on the same level to me, cause one makes Swamps the other makes Forests.

Proxied a Bazaar of Baghdad for my cEDH Anje. It was just okay. I beleive you guys are right

It's ironic the Tabernacle gets worse as you climb the power levels, but then you hit cEDH and it's great in non green decks at shutting down dorks

so technically mana confluence is better than city of brass, with urborg or yavimaya or other ability like from chromatic lantern or world tree mana confluence wont deal damage to you but city of brass will because the damage is dealt with city of brass taps in general and not just from its mana ability

with city of brass some one can turnabout you to death. and with a world tree, urborg or yavimaya cradle it will still dmg you.

How can you have multiple strip mines in a deck or what can you use to get land out of the graveyard

Top 10-20 MUST include budget lands for budget decks. The best of the best in the .1-5$ range

Bazaar is busted, if you play a deck that wants things to hit the graveyard. Just put a Preator or Eldrazi in the yard turn 1, turn 2 reanimate.

I can name every single one of them! and YOU could, too! Hang out in the discord, espacially VC to be part of the process! Its amazing! (Disclaimer: sadly i dont get paid to advertise, im just simping. The discord IS objectively great though). Join now!!!

I would strongly argue that Boseiju, who shelters all should be on this list or at least tied with cavern of souls. I understand that it comes in tapped but it's a very powerful land.

There is also an enchantment version of tabernacle called pendrell mists that costs 3U. I play it in my oloro creature hate deck because I don’t have 5k Lying around

Mana confluence gets turned off by Yasharn so City of Brass is strictly better :)

There's an argument for Vesuva being close to, or even in the list. At any time, it enters as the best land on the battlefield. There's a Gaea's cradle? You just got a Gaea's cradle.

Mishras workshop to drop a rock, rock to drop the ring. 6 mana turn 2

Love hearing Wombo Combo out of no where

Technically, the core 3 black nonlands are crypt ghast, nirkana revenant, and magus of the coffers, but the last one is JUST fixed cabal coffers.

Command tower does not need to be banned. That’s a crazy suggestion.

Strip Mine/ Muldrotha, the Gravetide.....

I’m going all out in modifying my krenko mob boss mono red deck

Great video guys this information is key to building a versatile deck ty

My Teferi chain veil deck had no creatures in it, just for the sake of being creature less. It's a bitch to fight against though. Creatures make things fun.

Pickle! That is all.

I go infinate with a bounce land- Kodama- and a token maker (field of the dead)

My now fantasy is going Mishras workshop in sol ring and a signet into mana crypt and then into a unwinding clock and or vedalken orrery
