Best cards for generating ALOT of mana?
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 16, 2014, 11:26 a.m. by Kamosz
Hi guys, I'm developing a G/W deck based on generating heaps of mana and putting it to good use. I was hoping for suggestions on cards for the mana-generating part.I'm specifically looking for cards that generate ALOT of mana, not stuff like Birds of Paradise or Rampant Growth. To give you an idea, cards I found that match the theme are; Gyre Sage, Karametra, God of Harvests, Karametra's Acolyte, Omnath, Locus of Mana, Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger. Collective Voyage, Mana Reflection and Mirari's Wake.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
Use cards like Khalni Hydra and Primalcrux with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and Karametra's Acolyte

What format?
Do you want infinite mana, or just a bunch of mana?
Argothian Elder + Maze of Ith is as much mana as you want. There are many many mana combos in magic.

There's an infinite combo that uses Pili-Pala and...Grand Architect? Also Basalt Monolith and Rings of Brighthearth gets there. Just make sure you copy the untap ability and not the mana ability.

Boundless Realms, Skyshroud Claim, Thran Dynamo, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Oracle of Mul Daya, etc
Didgeridooda i dont think that works, it says "attacking creature"

Didgeridooda: how does Argothian Elder + Maze of Ith make mana?

Sachi, Daughter of Seshiro, Sakiko, Mother of Summer, Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant, Shizuko, Caller of Autumn, Budoka Gardener

@greyninja, shuflw You attack with Argothian Elder, untap it with Maze of Ith, and the Elder is still attacking. You then tap the Elder to untap the Maze of Ith and a land, then tap down the Elder and repeat. Maze of Ith doesn't say "remove it from combat", so it is still an attacking creature. Of course, the infinite mana will disappear after combat is over, but you should be able to use it for Kamahl, Fist of Krosa or something before then.

Lemming is right. I run that in my omnath deck. You could also store mana with the UG god. Blue allows for many combos.
Seedborn Muse produces lots of potential. The helix pinnacle suggestion is a great mana dump for these type of shenanigans.

Keeper of Progenitus gives mana to people other than you but is quite efficient as a doubler that only costs 4.

if you are going with some big creatures, I really enjoy Elemental Resonance. I used to run one and would throw it on a Worldspine Wurm. starting each turn with 11 free mana was great.

Sorry, missed that, I'll revise Gauntlet of Power + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

If you're interested in infinite combos, Umbral Mantle with Karametra's Acolyte, Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary or Viridian Joiner are all in your colors.

Thanks alot, you guys had some pretty good suggestions, I'll definitly be using Doubling Cube as I'll be the only player profiting from it (I usually play multiplayer). Also Burgeoning looks very interesting in that perspective, altho its kind of expensive money wise.
