Helping with a mana base for my Abzan Deck.

Modern Deck Help forum

I've been working on an idea for an Abzan Rally deck for a few days now and I was hoping for some advice involving the manabase. The list without the lands can be found here Abzan Dorks - Need Mana base.

I've only really brought myself to play Two color decks in Modern for a while and therefore I'm not good with Three color bases so advice would be really nice on either amounts or services that can help me better understand what I'm doing with it.

A budget isn't really a concern, but also feel free to suggestion budget choices.

On a quick note if you have any suggestions for cards to change in the list itself that might ease the manabase then also mention that.

Fetch Lands are going to be huge. I would run at least 9. Marsh Flats, Windsweapt Heath, and Verdant Catacombs. To save money, you can pony up on the Flats and the Heaths. Remember you can also run lands with the "Swamp Forest", "Plains Swamp", and the "Plains Forest Title".

Shock lands are your next highest priority. I would run at least 1 or 2 of each type. Temple Garden, Overgrown Tomb for example. The "check lands" are things like Canopy Vista.

You will also want to run basic lands of each type so that Blood Moon or Blood Sun don't wreck you.
