I think Silent Clearing, Vault of Champions (when it comes out), Prismatic Vista, Ancient Tomb, and Concealed Courtyard would make fine additions.

A couple of spicy adds and away to establish some win cons is Armageddon and Master of Cruelties these two establish power in a table of 4. Reconnaissance can pull Kaalia of the Vast out of combat and protect her from blockers and still get the trigger. Strionic Resonator can copy Kaalia of the Vast ability trigger Spicy includes:

• Reconnaissance
• Master of Cruelties
• Armageddon
• Strionic Resonator

Some lands to include:

• Rogue's Passage
• Isolated Chapel
• Clifftop Retreat
• Tainted Field
• Inspiring Vantage
• Sulfurous Springs
• Concealed Courtyard

take out some of the basics you're running for the lands, mana fixing in a 3 color deck is important.

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!

30 lands sounds good that’s 3 / guild. Do you mind if I take the Esper colors? I was thinking of both a midrange and a control build.

For im thinking Celestial Colonnade Glacial Fortress and Temple of Enlightenment

For Temple of Deceit Drowned Catacomb and Darkslick Shores

And for Shambling Vent Concealed Courtyard and Caves of Koilos

Thoughts?

If shock lands are unacceptable that I suggest either the fast lands Concealed Courtyard

Or the check lands like Rootbound Crag.

However this is my argument for shock lands; they provide fixing for a cost, allowing the slower decks to curve slower and the faster decks to curve quicker.

The check land cycle doesn’t support aggro decks since they typically run on fewer lands and can’t get a t1 untapped.

Meanwhile the fast land cycle doesn’t support control or midrange style decks, since they want more than 3 lands and will enter play tapped after that point.

Shock lands provide the best of both worlds while not being overly powerful.

Hey there! Maybe consider some of the following for your manabase

• Marsh Flats (Can tutor for Godless Shrine)
• Concealed Courtyard
• Cabal Coffers (Cabal stronghold
• Silent Clearing
• Vault of Champions
• Ancient Tomb
• Prismatic Vista
• Fabled Passage
• City of Brass
• Mana Confluence
• Reflecting Pool
• Exotic Orchard
• Strip Mine/Wasteland (Field of ruin upgrade)
• Forbidden Orchard
• Gemstone Mine
• Gemstone Caverns

• Scoured Barrens (For the lifegain trigger?)

• For ramp, you might like some of the following

• Land Tax
• Talisman of Hierarchy
• Jet Medallion
• Pearl Medallion
• Weathered Wayfarer

• Dark Ritual

• Besides your mana base you may like some of the following

• Vindicate instead of Mortify
• Necropotence/Bolas's Citadel since you its lifegain based
• Also cut skullclamp- you don't have too many 1/1's.

About the lands, I'd add Isolated Chapel and Concealed Courtyard (I don't think either is too expensive rn)

DemMeowsephs on Long Live the Monarch

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!
