rambunctiousOrator on it's a deck alright

Hey, sweet deck. Let's take a look at win conditions and lands. I've identified a problem with your deck: You aggressively want to control the board with your 1-3 drops. While other players are playing 6 mana bombs every turn your are trying to eke out board advantage with 3 or 4 creatures a turn.

• You don't need board wipes in this deck, they actively go against your game-plan, and in no way help you win.
• Less removal in general. I counted 18 pieces of removal in your instants and sorceries. Keep Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, and Damn and get rid of the rest. You ARE the threat, if your deck is running slowly to the point that you feel like you need removal, you need better creatures.

As for lands, use this mana base.

Lands:

• 1x Ancient Tomb
• 1x Arid Mesa
• 1x Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip
• 1x Blood Crypt
• 1x Bloodstained Mire
• 1x Bojuka Bog
• 1x Boros Garrison
• 1x Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip
• 1x Buried Ruin
• 1x Command Tower
• 1x Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire
• 1x Godless Shrine
• 1x Marsh Flats
• 6x Mountain
• 1x Myriad Landscape
• 1x Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip
• 1x Orzhov Basilica
• 4x Plains
• 1x Rakdos Carnarium
• 1x Sacred Foundry
• 1x Sunhome, Fortress of the Legion
• 5x Swamp

How would I change your win condition...well you are trying to do knight tribal...

Consider these cards:

• Bond of Discipline
• Response / Resurgence
• Sorin Markov
• Aether Vial
• Glorybringer
• Luminarch Aspirant
• Lion Sash
• Harsh Mentor
• Blood Moon
• Price of Progress
• Flametongue Kavu
• Selfless Spirit
• Remorseful Cleric
• Unexpectedly Absent
• Goblin Rabblemaster
• Solitude
• Skyclave Apparition
• Palace Jailer
• Grim Lavamancer
• Fury
• Bonecrusher Giant
• Dark Confidant
• Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
• Leonin Arbiter
• Umezawa's Jitte
• Hunted Horror
• Rotting Regisaur
• Shadow of Mortality
• Hunted Nightmare
• Dauthi Voidwalker
• Robber of the Rich
• Sudden Spoiling
• Esper Sentinel
• Kolaghan's Command
• Walking Ballista
• Felidar Retreat
• Skullclamp
• Marshal's Anthem
• Forsworn Paladin
• Lunarch Veteran  ^Flip
• Soul Warden
• Soul's Attendant
• Heliod, Sun-Crowned

Remove these cards:

-15 pieces of removal from instants and sorceries, keep Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, and Damn

Good luck, and happy hunting. Let me know if you want to continue the conversation or have questions

AstroAA on How Many Dual Lands Should …

In regard to your question of Silent Clearing and War Room - card draw wins games, and you can never have too much of it unless you kill yourself with it. I would definitely run Silent Clearing, and possibly War Room.

If I were to build a Black/White deck, my base for lands that tap for either color would look something like this:

• Command Tower
• Godless Shrine
• Caves of Koilos
• Vault of Champions
• Tainted Field
• Silent Clearing
• Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip

Then, depending on if you feel like you need more, you could run the following:

• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Isolated Chapel

I tend to stay away from lands that have a condition where they either entered tapped or untapped, and I straight up avoid lands that enter tapped. The Battlebond cycle, (Vault of Champions), is an exception because if you are playing commander, then they will enter untapped as you probably are playing multiplayer. Lands like Isolated Chapel more than likely will enter untapped, but there is a nonzero possibility of a situation like them being in your opening hand and you only have lands like Reliquary Tower or Command Tower in it as well, causing it to more than likely enter tapped.

DreadKhan makes valid points.

I prefer to run shocks, Core set, and filter lands (like Godless Shrine, Isolated Chapel and Fetid Heath respectively) as well as the flip lands (Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip for example). I wish I could justify getting cards like Plateau

There are other ways of making a good land base as DreadKhan mentions. The recent Innistrad set Dual lands are pretty good and hopefully the commander lands will drop in price once Baldur's Gate hits. Shock lands aren't too pricey these days, save for a couple of them. They have been reprinted several times. The Strixhaven lands are also pretty good.

I have recently updated my Isshin list if it helps give you some ideas: Obi-Wan Can Blow Me. I went more midrange with it and it runs amazingly.

If you want a cheaper $ option than Grand Abolisher (or would like another card that can do similar work), Wandering Archaic  ^Flip is a substantial tax on all opponent's instants/sorceries, but that tax matters most with countermagic, making everyone else's counters either very good (if you want the same thing countered for example), or very expensive (people usually consider Cancel unplayable for costing 3 mana). Archaic isn't as good at protecting your own stuff, but it's a way bigger effect generally.

You might also like Generous Gift over Disenchant, and I prefer Vanishing Verse over Fracture, but Verse is more of a competitive card maybe. Slayers' Stronghold might be nice, vigilance and haste are useful for WR.

For (potentially) untapped duals, there are a few cycles worth a look. Pathways are good (but no longer cheap unfortunately, they might go down after they rotate out of Standard though), Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip, Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip, and Needleverge Pathway  ^Flip are all solid cards to keep an eye out for. Luxury Suite, Spectator Seating, and Vault of Champions are duals that usually come in untapped when it matters, and are considered among the best non-fetchable dual lands. You could try the new cycle from Innistrad, Haunted Ridge, Shattered Sanctum, and Sundown Pass are good as long as you're not running a low land count, 35 should probably work. While Sulfurous Springs is pricey, Caves of Koilos is cheap, Battlefield Forge isn't bad either, they're always untapped and by mid game you usually just use them for colourless and they have no downside. Concealed Courtyard, Inspiring Vantage, and Blackcleave Cliffs are very good, some are really expensive once again. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is a great way to make all your lands Swamps, handy for stuff like Cabal Coffers as well as just to fix your mana. Shadowblood Ridge is an untapped source of RB, which isn't a bad, but there is only the 1 in your wedge of colours, this land might be handy if you run a cycle where the RB land is really pricey.

Hope some of this is helpful, the deck seems pretty decent.

multimedia thanks for your comments! I have already added the tango lands to my maybe board except for the GB one because of Overgrown Tomb which I traded for. To replace even more basics, I am thinking about adding MDFC lands from Zendikar (ex Brightclimb Pathway  ^Flip). Perhaps Averna is not worth it.
