Land suggestions for 5-color artifact deck

The deck: Dark Harvest
Right now, I'm just looking for land suggestions to work with the deck. I want to avoid basic lands with this deck. The ability to produce multiple colors of mana (or even any color) is nice, but with the shift to being a little more colorless from its original incarnation, it's not quite as important so long as there's still a good spread of mana colors for summoning the Reaper King for his less expensive cost.
I'm on a fairly limited budget, so less than $5 per land is preferred. While I'd love to get nice cards like Cavern of Souls , I can't always afford them.
I know the deck needs other tweaks. I'm just looking for land suggestions at the moment. Thanks!
That is definitely an option (and yet another reason why I need to pick up Amulet of Vigor ).

Original Ravnica block bouncelands combo nicely with Amulet of Vigor also; I think you can get 4 mana out of them per turn? Something like that.

You could try the Talisman cycle from the original Mirrodin block (ex Talisman of Dominance ) as for land there are the duals that tap for colorless originally or color for a LP (ex: Adarkar Wastes ) Ravnica Bounce lands are great option as are the gates. If you can get it Glimmervoid would be stellar. The Refuge cycle of lands from Zendiakr (Akoum Refuge etc)

Unfortunately Glimmervoid is out of my price range at the moment, and the Talisman cycle aren't lands (I've got a fair chunk of mana artifacts already, but would like to swap some of the less-useful ones for lands). The other suggestions are good, though. I've actually considered the pain lands already; I'll just have to get my hands on more than just the Shivan Reef .

Hi,
Try the tripple bounce lands: Dromar's Cavern , Treva's Ruins , Crosis's Catacombs , Darigaaz's Caldera , Rith's Grove
The triple tapped versions: Seaside Citadel , Arcane Sanctum , Crumbling Necropolis , Savage Lands , Jungle Shrine
The tripple filter lands: Aysen Abbey , Wizards' School , Castle Sengir , Koskun Keep , An-Havva Township
The dual filter lands: Darkwater Catacombs , Mossfire Valley , Shadowblood Ridge , Skycloud Expanse , Sungrass Prairie , Fire-Lit Thicket , Graven Cairns , Mystic Gate , Sunken Ruins , Wooded Bastion ,Cascade Bluffs , Fetid Heath , Flooded Grove , Rugged Prairie , Twilight Mire
Fairly sure most of those are all well under $5, most under $2.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestions, dbdecker. I know we've got at least four of the Lairs already on hand, and the dual filter lands are certainly tempting. Problem I had with those was last I checked, a fair number (of the Shadowmoor/Eventide ones, at least) were a bit out of budget. I'll have to check again. The Shadowmoor/Eventide ones would be preferable over the Odyssey set if only because they produce mana independently as well.

The artifact suite of lands ( Ancient Den , Great Furnace , etc) + Unwinding Clock is pretty powerful, along with any other artifacts with tap abilities.

Some of the cheapest you can get at the moment is the Gate cycle from RTR block. They all come in tapped, but they're quite cheap to pick up.
