jamochawoke on Mana fixing in a Boros …

1 month ago

For color fixing you really want lands like: Battlefield Forge , Clifftop Retreat , Temple of Triumph , Sunbaked Canyon , or the shock-land Sacred Foundry

There's also Manamorphose if you want to get fancy and have a way of benefitting from the cantrip or additional spell cast like in storm.

Honestly you can do really well with just 4x Clifftop Retreat checking for plains and mountains.

For mana ramping your choices are pretty limited.

In red you have Braid of Fire , Goldspan Dragon especially with treasure generating cards, Desperate Ritual , Pyretic Ritual , Vessel of Volatility , one of my favorites is Geosurge into Oblivion Sower , Koth of the Hammer , and Soulbright Flamekin

In white you really only have a few tricks like generating a bunch of tokens before turn 4 and attacking with them but hitting them with Settle the Wreckage or hitting a creature you have that would die anyways with Path to Exile . All the other ramps in white are for putting lands in your hand (which would only be useful if you had a way to get them onto the field after) or using artifact ramp.

The thing to remember is Boros has really incredible hate cards to slow the opponent down, while also having some of the fastest cards in the game for killing them. Try to play to its strengths more and if you really want an angels deck, try using all the new angel-enablers that have been printed in the last few sets. I know I'm building one myself!

I would recommend adding more copies of key cards in your deck for consistency. Play around with it, find out which cards are good and synergistic, and which ones are cards that generally don't come in handy, or are just cards that sit in your hand the whole game.

Here are some improvements that could be made with your mana base on budget: Wind-Scarred Crag , Needleverge Pathway  Flip, Temple of Triumph , Battlefield Forge , and Needle Spires . Coming in at the highest price for budget lands is Clifftop Retreat at $5.75 US. All of these are better than Boros Guildgate

Don't include all of those lands, lol. Cut cards from your deck until it is 60 cards (for consistency) and then have 24 lands as a base. Add more or cut more depending on how aggressive you are. Basic lands should be the majority of your land base unles you are looking for an expensive mana base, but 8-12 of the lands I listed above should help.

Hi! I'm glad that my comment helped u :) I think that u can cut Rimrock Knight, 1 land (since u have Knight of the White Orchid) and maybe 1 or 2 copies of Maul of the Skyclaves.

Another card that u may like is Valiant Knight, another lord for Knights, not as good as Knight Exemplar but a lot cheaper. Also, be careful with Benalish Marshal, since it specifically requires 3 White, it would not be rare that u can't drop him on turn 3 because u had, for example, 2 White and 1 Red (personal experience haha). U can fix that by adding dual lands that doesn't enter tapped to the battlefield, like Sacred Foundry or Clifftop Retreat, the second one being more accesible due to its cost.

Have a great day!

DemMeowsephs on Licia Blood Bending (Mardu Life control Voltron)

Hey there! You mention the mana base needing some help in your description, and if you're still looking to work on that, maybe consider some of the following cards! Many may be out of budget, and you could possibly have been aware of them all already, and if that is the case I hope this can be of use to you as a reference!

Since you have the two temples, you may want to include the last one, Temple of Malice. Even though you don't run too many / cards, you still need that colored mana to cast Licia, and so you want a relatively even mana base. Same goes for the last pain land, I'd recommend including Sulfurous Springs since you have the other two. Since you're also gaining a lot of life, and because they are great in general, you may want to take a look at Blood Crypt, Godless Shrine, and Sacred Foundry, (the shock lands) which function very well, especially with the following cards: the fetch lands. Bloodstained Mire, Arid Mesa, and Marsh Flats are some of the best lands in the game! These can search for the shock lands, not just basic lands, allowing you to get any colors you need from just one of them! While that whole set is pretty expensive, it may be something to think about for the future. Now on the cheaper side, there are the wonderful fast lands, Blackcleave Cliffs, Concealed Courtyard, and Inspiring Vantage, which can help you support your early fundamental turns quite well! If you wish to include a lot of basics/shock lands, you may want to think about having the check lands, Dragonskull Summit, Isolated Chapel, and Clifftop Retreat, which tend to be great and also lay on the cheaper side. Last but not least, there are the filter lands, Graven Cairns, Fetid Heath, and Rugged Prairie! Now that said, here are some non-dual lands that could really help fix the mana base quite a lot that I would recommend: City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Ancient Tomb, Prismatic Vista, Fabled Passage, Reflecting Pool, Exotic Orchard, Strip Mine, Wasteland, etc.

Now enough about lands! Here are some ramp spells you might like. Land Tax, Arcane Signet, Commander's Sphere, Talisman of Conviction, Talisman of Hierarchy, Talisman of Indulgence, Jet Medallion, Pearl Medallion, Ruby Medallion, Sol Ring, Gift of Estates, Weathered Wayfarer, Chromatic Lantern, etc!

I also have a mardu deck, (A Deal With the Devil EDH ⫸PRIMER⫷), so if you want to check out most of the cards I mentioned on a list, feel free to pop in there! Anyways though, I hope this helps, good luck on your deck, and have a wonderful day! Happy tapping!
