Title: Does anyone know good mana getters for blue and white?
Post by: ducttapetitan on October 16, 2012, 12:06:27 AM
I have a blue white deck where I am having problems getting my mana out.  Any suggestions?

Standard or other? If not standard then artifacts such as  {Armillary Sphere} or you could go with cards like  {Knight of the White Orchid} and  {Weathered Wayfarer}

Keyrune maybe. Or draw spells. That's all I can think of for white blue. Or {chromatic lantern}.

More info. Are you getting the wrong mana color? Are you getting no mana at all? Or are you not getting enough for your curve?

In a 100 card deck 40 is a .4 ratio, which is the most common build. In a 60 card deck, the exact ratio (.4) is 24 lands. If it is blue white control, run:

4 hallowed fountain
4 glacial fortress
1-4 azorius guildgate
1-4 evolving wilds

You should be good.

Oh and do not neglect draw a spells. Divination, think twice, thought scour, inaction injunction, etc. are all great options.

Not enough mana to keep up with other decks.  Maybe spells to slow their play of land would help as well.

I think slowing them down is really the only thing you can do. If you're on the play, something like a turn 2  {Thalia, Guardian of Thraben} could stop them from {farseek}ing for a turn.
