Hey guys can someone help me balance out the mana? I need to have 24 lands but I can't find a way to get same percentage in lands mana.
My cards use this amount of colored mana:
21 Red mana (38.89%)19 Black mana (35.19%)14 White mana (25.93%)
Already thx for help :D
You aren't going to be able to get the exact same percentages. Rather, it is best to get relatively close to those percentages with flexible mana.
For example, in a deck like the one you are describing, I would probably run:
4x Arid Mesa
4x Bloodstained Mire
4x Blood Crypt
2x Godless Shrine
3x Sacred Foundry
3x any sort of effect based land you may want (E.G: Inkmoth Nexus
)

My apologies, I did not notice the comment about needing standard legal lands. In that case I would switch out the Fetch Lands for
4x Temple of Malice
4x Temple of Triumph
and maybe switch out 2xGodless Shrine
for

By the way quesobueno123, Bloodstained Mire
is not standard legal, nor is Nomad Outpost
.
However, I do support the idea of Mana Confluence
, perhaps removing one each of
Temple of Malice
Temple of Triumph
and Blood Crypt
to put them in.
Building on that idea, you could probably switch out
3xBlood Crypt
--> 3xSwamp
3xSacred Foundry
--> 3x Mountain
2xTemple of Silence
/Godless Shrine
--> 2xPlains

DuTogira Ya they are, have you heard of a set called KHANS OF TARKIR?

quesobueno123 I don't appreciate the condescension, however, I would like to apologize as well. My local comic book store hasn't yet rolled over to include the new Khans of Tarkir set in the standard legal set compilation. Since it only became standard legal 5 days ago, you can understand why I may have been a bit slow to pick up on the fact.
In recognition of that fact, I would chance my advice to include my original suggestion, modified such that
2xArid Mesa
--> 2xMountain
1xArid Mesa
--> 1xSwamp
1xArid Mesa
--> 1xPlains

Seeing the deck would be nice, so we could think about how many taplands you can afford to play. If it's midrangey you can afford a set of Nomad Outpost , as well as a reasonable number of Temples in addition to four Bloodstained Mire and basics. I advise against the lifegain taplands, as scrylands are always better. If it's midrange, I would likely play arond 8 scrys in addition to the Outposts. If it's more aggressive, lean towards the painlands and Mana Confluence to have more consistent mana at a smaller cost.

Btw the deck is for standard. So you can only use the standard legal lands.
