doing a search on gatherer

General forum

whats the best way to do a land search on gatherer. I'm looking for lands that produce R, U, or both for an izzet edh deck. My attempts have yielded no results and searching through a couple dozen pages of every land ever printed doesn't sound like fun. Anyone got an idea on what I need to enter into the search parameters so that I can only search the lands that produce colors i'm looking for.

Step 1: go to the advanced on gatherer:
Step 2: add to the rules text; r u and make sure that it says "and"
Step 3: make the and, Not. Type in g w b
Step 4: make the type land
Step 5: Profit, don't worry about Desolate Lighthouse and Nivix, Aerie of the Firemind

Thanks, I could have swore that I had tried a search using those parameters (with the exception of adding in the excluding clause of no GWB) but came back with nothing. Maybe I accidentally put it in the wrong text box or something lol.

I would also advise doing a card search on this site for your izzet commander, and then looking at the EDH decks people have made with it, and checking out the lands people are using. that might give you some ideas on other lands that work well with it too.

wow, good thing I didn't have to search through every land ever printed. The search turned up less than a page and things like Ancient Ziggurat , Exotic Orchard , and Pillar of the Paruns don't really benefit me for the type of deck i'm putting together. They may have some use but like most people I'd prefer lands that aren't gonna be useless half the time lol.
