It recently occurred to me to add Fire-Lit Thicket to the above deck to help with Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker's onerous colour requirements but I could use some input on what people think is the ideal number of filter-lands to run.

I'd say no more than 2, with 1 being the norm. It can be rough with too many because then you're stuck making colorless too much if you don't have the mana to filter into it. Something that could use colorless mana like Bant Eldrazi in Modern or a deck with lots of artifacts could probably go up a bit on the count. Nothing wrong with throwing a couple filters into the list above.

OK, thanks, Spazik008. I'll stick with just one for now, since I'd much rather run the risk of not having enough to cast Kiki on time than the risk of having a Fire-Lit Thicket and a Krosan Verge in my opening hand and not be able to cast anything.
