1. Play one Ziatora's Proving Ground for fetching.
2. Play one surveil land for fetching, such as Commercial District.
3. Your deck is 3 colors and plans to play both Ball Lightning and Groundbreaker on curve, which requires absolutely flawless mana base. I am aware that Blood Moon and Path to Exile exist, but this deck may be the one in which you don't want to play basic lands at all. Playing just dual lands is not enough - consider your opening hand is Blackcleave Cliffs, Swamp, Thornspire Verge and Blooming Marsh. You have 4 lands and yet can't play your elementals. Increase number of Cavern of Souls, play some lands such as City of Brass and Fire-Lit Thicket. Reflecting Pool works well with those "any color" lands.
4. Fling costs 2 mana. Go with Callous Sell-Sword, which costs only one mana and may be played as a creature. Your plan is to fling after combat anyway. Village Rites also exists.
5. Damnation is too slow for Modern. Try some combination of Toxic Deluge and Brotherhood's End. Another problem is that it's reactive card - it may be better worth to play some proactive card such as Bloodbraid Elf. If you won't play 4 mana spells, you can decrease the number of lands.
6. One Spitebellows may be fun inclusion.
7. In the end, your deck is a burn deck. Go with full playset of Lightning Bolt and go down to two Fatal Push.

I have never seen Betor, Kin to All before. That is insane. First thing I would look at updating is the mana base. You have too many lands that enter tapped. I would recommend looking at lands like Blooming Marsh and Hushwood Verge just as a few examples. Pain lands like Caves of Koilos are also much better than what you currently have. Check lands and filter lands are also great.

I think Choke is a card you’d probably leave in the sideboard to battle decks that use islands. But I think Power Conduit is a good mainboard addition:

• 4x Blooming Marsh
• 3x Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
• 1x Overgrown Tomb
• 4x Polluted Delta
• 4x Swamp
• 4x Verdant Catacombs

• 4x Urza's Saga

• 3x Quicksilver Fountain

• 4x Power Conduit
• 1x Shadowspear
• 1x Expedition Map
• 1x Nihil Spellbomb

• 1x Pithing Needle

• 4x Fatal Push

• 4x Damnation
• 2x Cling to Dust
• 4x Collective Brutality
• 3x Shadow of Doubt

• 4x Thoughtseize

• 4x Bloodghast

I have some suggestions. Feel free to ignore them!

• Unearth instead of Treasured Find.

• The Ozolith instead of or in addition to Fate Transfer - it's quite a expensive, so maybe you don't want to invest in it, but it's cheaper to cast and as a permanent, works statically, which is quite nice. The downside, in addition to its hefty price is that it's Legendary.

• Corpsejack Menace has long been a staple in golgari counters

• You didn't include "Budget" in your description or Hubs, so I'll suggest Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth as useful lands. They might help your opponents mana-fix, too though. And of course, if they're too expensive, just disregard this. Other lands to consider: Castle Locthwain, Bojuka Bog, Darkbore Pathway  ^Flip, Blooming Marsh, Deathcap Glade.

• Thoughtseize is a classic black spell, but only 2x isn't much, especially when it's your only means of removal. Golgari is arguably the best color combination for removal ever. Abrupt Decay and Assassin's Trophy are at the top of a long list of great removal spells, and both are exclusive to golgari. I'd suggest 2x of each, but either would be useful. The other could go in your sideboard. Since you are already running some sac outlet creatures, Fatal Push would be a good fit, too.

• Bow of Nylea is always good. It's another Legendary, so no more than 1x.

An easy improvement I can recommmend to set you on your way would be to both increase the overall land count, and drop the Evolving Wilds in favor of some sort of dual—Blooming Marsh or Llanowar Wastes are Standard legal right now, and there are tons of even better options in Modern, Pioneer etc. I’m not sure which format you’re looking to build for, but I assumed Standard.

wallisface on How Many Dual Lands do …

1 year ago

As others have mentioned, this is a question which requires more specifics, and can’t be solved with a generic catch-all answer.

I can say, from a modern perspective, that both "slow lands" and “checklands” are awful, and the “filter lands” are almost always terrible too. If you’re looking to branch out from the shocklands, i’d suggest “fast lands” (i.e. Blooming Marsh), and 1-2 surveil lands (i.e. Underground Mortuary). Generally speaking though, the more important/impactful thing for a deck is not the quantity of duel-lands, but the quantity of fetch-lands (i.e. Verdant Catacombs). Decks become a LOT more powerful and consistent with a strong fetchland-base, and if you’re looking to improve your landbase, adding in 8-12 fetches is almost always the strongest improvement you can make.

Some thoughts:

• You never really want to play lands that are very likely to enter the battlefield tapped - all of Vineglimmer Snarl, Choked Estuary, Necroblossom Snarl, and Zagoth Triome are all waay too slow to be useful. If you can't acquire fetchlands, then I'd suggest trying to acquire the fastlands - Blooming Marsh, Botanical Sanctum and Darkslick Shores.

• With no basics, you automatically lose to Blood Moon if an opponent plays it. You also have absolutely nothing to gain if the opponent casts Path to Exile or Assassin's Trophy on one of your permanents.

• For Collected Company to have any reasonable chance of hitting at least 2 creatures, your deck needs to have at least 27 creatures within it - without this number there's no point to playing the card. At the moment, with only 15 creatures that the card can use, the card just isn't good enough.

• Once you remove Collected Company, your deck has a lot more lands than it will need - and you could easily drop down to 22 (or possibly even 20).

• Urza's Saga lends itself really well into finding various 1-of toolbox cards that can save you in certain situations. Having a single copy of cards like Shadowspear, Pithing Needle, Relic of Progenitus etc can help you put-the-squeeze on many opponents.

• Lonis, Cryptozoologist really wants to live in a deck with lots of creatures. Just like Collected Company, your creature-count isn't high enough to justify this card.

• If you're playing Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, you probably want to play the full playset, as well as the full 4-ofs each of Ovalchase Daredevil and The Underworld Cookbook.

Interesting brew! Some thoughts:

• Walking Ballista is probably more useful than Endless One as it can win on the turn it’s played instead of just eating a killspell.

• Cut Down has far too few viable targets to be playable in modern.

• Not Dead After All feels very awkward here.., something like Unearth would serve you better as it doesn’t require you holding up mana.

• Ancient Stirrings feels like a great addition for both helping you find your scarecrow, as well as your win conditions (and worst case scenario it grabs you another land). I’d ditch 2 lands (or Thoughtseize) and the Cut Down to get a playset of these in.

• Golgari Rot Farm feels like a super sub-optimal land in that nothing it does particularly helps you, and everything it does likely messes with your tempo. I’d replace it with a fastland like Blooming Marsh.
