How many mana rocks should be in here?
Deck Help forum

I have this 5 colored EDH deck and I was wondering. How many mana rocks are needed to balance out the deck? I feel like I've been getting plenty of mana, but no where to go afterwards.

Well I'm a budget builder, so most of the stuff you mentioned would not be available for me at this current time. I might pick them up if I get the money to do so.
What I want is to build a Middle Earth themed deck for my 5 color EDH, but most of the stuff is out of reach.
The one above is what I built in real life.

I use 4 in The Demons of EDH, my 5 color Karona deck. You should always run the auto-includes, which are Chromatic Lantern, Sol Ring, and Gilded Lotus. Beyond that there are tons of great choices such as Darksteel Ingot and Thran Dynamo (which I try to always include). Beyond that, some of the best mana fixing and helping comes from enchantments such as [[Mana Reflections]] and Mirari's Wake. The best fixing you can get is (in my opinion) running all the shocks/ABUR duals (if you can afford them) and fetches that are relevant to your primary colors and the ETB untapped rainbow lands. I also run 5 basics (one of each color) and a Solemn Simulacrum for color fixing. I think if you have a good mana base with 3-6 mana rocks and 1-2 mana doublers you should be in a good state 90%+ of the time with an appropriate amount of mana, while still drawing good cards to exploit it.
