U/G Infect Mana Base Help
Deck Help forum

I have my deck Competitive U/G Infect and I don't have any basic islands. That somewhat worries me against a Blood Moon . I'm not sure if it's a big enough issue to take out something for. If I did I'd probably take out the Hinterland Harbor or a Breeding Pool . The reason I don't know if it's a problem is I'd always have two turns before a Blood Moon is played so I could get down the Blighted Agent in time if I have it in hand, but if it's a burn deck I'd like to wait one more turn so I have mana to protect it if I need to. So pretty much should I add a basic island and if I should what should I take out for it? Thank you for the help.

Yeah I can always put in Nature's Claim if I'm expecting Blood Moon . That would only leave about 25% of the time that they get it and I don't have a response, assuming they have four. Since it's instant speed I wouldn't even have to fetch for a forest if I have it in hand and I don't think they have a response. Thanks for your thoughts.

I don't think the basic Island is worth it, as not enough decks in Modern play Blood Moon right now. I'm not sure I would ever play an actual Island , as I want to have all my lands produce green and be fetchable by any fetchland.
