DC 107 – Land Of Confusion
Podcast: Download (21.0MB)
Slightly later than originally planned, but still earlier than a morning Underground train in London, show 107 is now up!
This week I talk about lands and manabases, and what to think about when making one. To kick things off, I start with Limited and share a technique that might help you out when you’re staring at 25-odd cards and wondering how to make the mana fit.
After that is a look at Constructed manabases, with examples of decks that have unusual land counts, and why that is. I also quickly touch on why fetchlands are a better first buy than dual lands.
Oh yes, and I also mention a competition in the outro which you might want to check out.
As always, please feel free to send an instant electronic telegraphical note to show@deckconstruct.com, and don’t forgot to check out the DC Forums, too.
You’ll also find DC behaving socially at Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.
Thanks for listening!

Very nice show, Alex! I always enjoy when you do these kind of “Back to Basics” shows. I’m surprised you didn’t mention mana-producing nonland permanents and how they interact with lands. You touched the subject a bit when you talked about the Affinity deck that ran 4x Mox Opal, but I was expecting more, especially in the Limited section since you mentioned Scars of Mirrodin (where we all know that the mana-Myr are prevalent).
