Hey there mate! From what I see, you have all three shock lands (Pay 2 on ETB), all the filter lands (Pay X/Y get combination) and the check lands (ETB tapped unless X/Y). These are all great lands, but I think almost everything else can get a nice sweet upgrade. Note some of my suggestions may not be in your budget

• Blackcleave Cliffs
• Concealed Courtyard
• Inspiring Vantage
• Bloodstained Mire (Budget: Rocky Tar Pit
• Marsh Flats
• Arid Mesa
• Sulfurous Springs
• Caves of Koilos/Silent Clearing
• Battlefield Forge/Sunbaked Canyon
• Luxury Suite
• Vault of Champions
• Spectator Seating
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista (A better Evolving Wilds)
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Strip Mine/Wasteland (A better Ghost Quarter)
• Gemstone Caverns

• Glacial Chasm (For Pillowfort?)

• Now I know that is quite a lot, but don't worry- I have an idea. I personally believe all of the following could and should be cut for some of the suggestions below, as you progress with your deck. Akoum Refuge, Bloodfell Caves, Evolving Wilds, Ghost Quarter, Nomad Outpost (Maybe Savai Triome instead?), Opal Palace, Scoured Barrens, Smoldering Marsh (it's only good in decks heavy with basics), Wind-Scarred Crag, etc!

• For ramp, Lotus Petal, Land Tax, and Dark Ritual can be pretty fun too.

• Hope this helps! If you like my suggestions be sure to support some of my decks (Double Trouble EDH *PRIMER*). Anyways though, hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day! Happy tapping!

Luxury Suite, Bloodstained Mire, Blackcleave Cliffs, Sulfurous Springs and Shadowblood Ridge would make fine additions. Ancient Tomb too.

Hey there! Maybe consider these lands.

Fast lands are relatively cheap, and still good in the early game. Darkslick Shores, Blackcleave Cliffs, and Spirebluff Canal. I would also recommend adding the rest of the filter lands, (Cascade Bluffs and Sunken Ruins) as well as the other fetch lands (if you have the budget) and pain lands. (Polluted Delta/Scalding Tarn and Sulfurous Springs/Underground River). You also might like some of the following, though some are a bit expensive.

• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Strip Mine/Wasteland
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns

Just a note, you are one card over 100, and the commander format only allows 100. :)

• Arcane Signet, Jet Medallion, Ruby Medallion, and Dark Ritual, Talisman of Indulgence are all very good ramp spells you seem to be missing. Maybe consider some of them

• Blackcleave Cliffs, Luxury Suite, Shadowblood Ridge, Ancient Tomb, Prismatic Vista, City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Reflecting Pool, and Wasteland are great too.

• Also for lands, you might want to consider other fetch lands in B/R. Things like Wooded Foothills and Marsh Flats can search for Blood Crypt making them pretty good too

Hey there! I think I can help a bit regarding your mana base. Let's take a look at that.

You have 26 lands, out of 100 cards, but your average mana cost is 3.72!!!! Usually you run about 30-32 if your mana cost is even at 2.20, so in my opinion, your deck needs A LOT more lands, and ramp. Let's take a look at lands first!

Lands

Ok, so there are MANY MANY lands you should use that you are missing. Our goal should be for you to include at minimum 33 lands. I understand it will be hard to find cards to take out but trust me- you need at least 33 otherwise it'll be very difficult for your deck to even function. You should include the following.

• Shock lands. If you need mana THAT turn, they can come in untapped! If you don't want to take the damage you don't have to, but you'll always have the option to which makes them so good. They can also be used with fetch lands, but more on that later
• Godless Shrine
• Blood Crypt

• Sacred Foundry

• Fetch Lands! These are pretty much the best lands in magic. You can look for ANY colors you need, if you have the shock lands I just mentioned. The fetch lands can search for the shock lands, allowing you to get WHATEVER COLOR YOU NEED. They can also search for basics which is less helpful but still possible. They can also search for Savai Triome. (They search for anything that has a subtype they specify)

• Marsh Flats
• Bloodstained Mire (Budget: Rocky Tar Pit)

• Arid Mesa

• Fast lands! These are extremely useful the first couple turns, and they help you set up your board quickly so you can have a good start!

• Concealed Courtyard
• Blackcleave Cliffs

• Inspiring Vantage

• Filter lands! You have the red/white version- but not the rest! Add all three! They can give you any combination of the two colors they supply, which is extremely useful! They are also very cheap with double masters out- so get them soon!

• Fetid Heath
• Graven Cairns

• Rugged Prairie

• Pain and Horizon Lands! These are AMAZING because you can always rely on them for mana, without worrying if they come in tapped- at the expense of only ONE LIFE. Remember your life is a resource- if you win at 1 life it's the same as winning at 40. Getting good mana is much more important than paying some life.

• Caves of Koilos or Silent Clearing
• Sulfurous Springs or [No Card Exists Yet]

• Battlefield Forge or Sunbaked Canyon

• Check lands. Now these I would recommend not using, but if you have a budget and you want to improve your manabase, these are much better than what you have now.

• Isolated Chapel
• Dragonskull Summit

• Clifftop Retreat

• Battlebond/C Legends Lands! Some of these aren't out yet, but be sure to get them if you normally play with multiple players!

• Vault of Champions (COMES OUT SOON)
• Luxury Suite

• Spectator Seating (COMES OUT SOON)

• So in the end, these lands are VERY VERY VERY helpful and make your manabase much faster. There are also a BUNCH of single lands that are even better than some of these! Try to include as many as you can of the following:

• Ancient Tomb

• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine

• Gemstone Caverns

• So again, I would try to include many of these, and trust me- aim to have 33-35 lands in your deck. A lot of your lands come in tapped- slowing you down and making your manabase worse. Take those out. A couple lands could be replaced with better things. (Temple of the False God for Ancient Tomb). Take those out. You also have some good lands that don't relate to your deck. I get Boseiju, Who Shelters All and Eiganjo Castle (Etc) are cool, but they don't really make sense in your deck, and could be replaced with cards I mentioned before. To make a good deck you need a good mana base, and I recommend making that mana base, and definitely adding more lands in general.

If this helps be sure to check out and support some of my decks like Double Trouble EDH and A Deal With the Devil EDH! if you have any questions about what I wrote, want more help, or want some ideas, feel free to ask me on my wall or just tag me here, I'd love to help! Anyways, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a great day!!! Happy tapping!

Nice deck and nice story! +1 from me!

I think your deck could use a little upgrade on the land section. The average mana cost for your deck and the number of lands don't really seem to fit, so I would recommend changing some of the lands you have now, and adding around 2-3. Here are some options I would recommend.

• Fast Lands:
• Inspiring Vantage
• Concealed Courtyard
• Blackcleave Cliffs
• Pain lands:
• Battlefield Forge or Sunbaked Canyon
• Caves of Koilos or Silent Clearing
• Sulfurous Springs
• Dual Fetch Lands: (They can search for shock lands like Godless Shrine)
• Arid Mesa
• Marsh Flats
• Bloodstained Mire
• Filter Lands
• Rugged Prairie
• Fetid Heath
• Graven Cairns
• Battlebond/Commander Legends Lands
• Spectator Seating
• Vault of Champions
• Luxury Suite
• Single Lands
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns

• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

• In my opinion, you could cut all the temples but those could stay and be effective. You don't run enough artifacts for Spire of Industry or Buried Ruinto work the majority of the time so that should go too. Path of Ancestry should DEFINITELY go, you don't run enough creatures for it to be good, Mistveil Plains could be replaced with something beter that I mentioned, and the same goes for Scavenger Grounds, Temple of the False God, and Nomad Outpost.

• In the end you don't have to listen to any of these suggestions, but I would certainly add some of the ones I mentioned and include around 33-35 lands instead, due to your average mana cost. If this helps be sure to check out some of my decks, like Double Trouble EDH and A Deal With the Devil EDH, I would appreciate feedback if you can! Anyways though hope this helps good luck on your deck an have a great day! happy tapping!
