Just do you, you could use cards like Flood Plain , Hallowed Fountain , or Hengegate Pathway  ^Flip...

The efficient land cards are what make this set more expensive, but the sturdy defender deck can afford to slow things down with cheaper mana alternatives. On the plus side, the guild-gates at our disposal look like we're building up more walls, and the scry from the various Temple of Mystery 's helps to put the combo pieces we need into our hands.

A slimmer version:

1x Botanical Sanctum , 3x Temple of Mystery

1x Fortified Village , 3x Temple of Plenty

1x Glacial Fortress , 2x Temple of Enlightenment

1x Hallowed Fountain , 3x Azorius Guildgate

1x Wooded Bastion , 3x Selesnya Guildgate

1x Island 1x Forest

I’m collecting one of every card in Kaladesh and want to trade for all the cards. I’ve updated my Binder though I still need to add some of my haves and haven’t marked conditions yet but I’ll check whatever card you’re interested in.

The biggest item I have is a Mystical Tutor , I only want to trade it for some of the higher ticket items, preferably including a Chandra, Torch of Defiance . I also have a Hallowed Fountain , Skullclamp , and Goblin Bombardment and some other random stuff in my Binder.

Hey, good budget version of Vania. I'm impressed by your card sense on a budget.

Wonder is nice when you can easily discard it with your Commander. Giving all creatures you control flying is powerful. When Wonder is in your graveyard you need an Island on the battlefield to activate it this makes Island/Swamp and Island/Plains dual lands helpful and upgrades for the manabase.

• Sunken Hollow
• Prairie Stream
• Ice Tunnel
• Irrigated Farmland
• Glacial Floodplain
• Fetid Pools
• Watery Grave
• Hallowed Fountain

Pools, Grave and Fountain may be out of budget range, but I mention them for possible future land upgrades.

Some other budget lands upgrades to consider:

• Unclaimed Territory
• Tainted Field
• Esper Panorama

On a budget Talisman of Dominance is not worth $8. Could replace it with Azorius Signet or Commander's Sphere and use $8 to improve the manabase. It's actually more important that the mana rocks can make the two other colors because consistently on the battlefield you'll have basic Swamps.

Good luck with your deck.

Hoooookay. You said you were new, so this is a good try, but we're gonna basically entirely revamp this list.

First, you literally cannot use Mystic Sanctuary in a 3-color deck without fetches, and I do not mean Evolving Wilds . Lose that idea, you can't make it work with the budget you appear to have. (of course come back to it once you can afford 4x Flooded Strand , 4x Polluted Delta , and 2x each Hallowed Fountain and Watery Grave .)

Your(budget) manabase should look something like this:

• 2x Celestial Colonnade (as a win con)

• 2x Creeping Tar Pit (as a win con)

• 4x Port Town

• 4x Choked Estuary

• 2x Prairie Stream

• 2x Sunken Hollow

• 8-9 basics

The core of a budget Esper control deck is 4 each Serum Visions, Opt, Fatal Push, Path to Exile, Day of Judgement(or other 4-mana wrath), Archmage's Charm,

The other cards in that list that you should absolutely run are Esper Charm, any Teferi, most Jace walkers, Silundi Vision(run all of those if you can), Saw it Coming, Doomskar.

Chromium is a fine finisher, but don't run 3. Use 1, possibly 2 if you somehow have problems finding it.

I also recommend using Thassa's Intervention and any 5 cmc or less planeswalker with the text 'draw a card' on either of its first two abilities.

Quick edit: shadow63, no, control can stand taplands. But the manlands and MDFC lands are the only real lands that are worth entering tapped. (basically, they end up being extra lands that do a lot but aren't just lands.)

Also, you may want to tinker with how many manlands are used. Additionally, any spell double-faced lands are definitely playable if their spell side is worth casting at any point. Just don't cut lands for them.

You're control -- the things you're doing turns 1-2-3 are mostly Opt, Serum Visions, Path and Push.

I would definitely suggest Rally of Wings, Windstorm Drake, Pride of the Clouds, Kangee, Sky Warden, Kangee's Lieutenant and a few better lands such as Flooded Strand and Hallowed Fountain.
