Title: Mana ramp help.
Post by: ImTheGuy on January 20, 2014, 10:02:09 AM
I am looking for modern legal cards that will get me to ten mana on turn three or four consistently. It doesn't need to be any specific color, all I need is colorless mana. The fewer the cards in the combo the better, for consistency.

You cold go {Paladium Myr}+ 2 {Myr Galvanizer} for infinite mana, plus the other mana myrs

That was an idea. I don't know how consistently I could get all three of those creatures though. I'd have to have creature search and I was hoping to not have green. Right now it's a blue deck using {panoptic mirror} to exile a card that lets me take an extra turn. {time warp} or {walk the eons} and then from there take extra turns and win.
{pili-pila} and {grand architect} could work.

The urza lands are also modern legal. I might go that route.

Near all mana ramp is green, but there are still the Myrs that tap for mana (ie {Iron Myr})

Right. Green ramp is an option. But I'd like that to be a last resort. I'd rather use urza's lands or the {pili-pila} {grand architect} combo to stay one color. If nothing else will cut it then I'll resort back to green.

Also any blue draw spells or search for artifact spell suggestions would be much appreciated.

{Reshape}, {Thirst for Knowledge} seems like the best for you at this point

I'd want to do other things with the three mana and I don't want to have to discard a card. But I like the reshape. Thanks!

For artifact search I have 4 {tinker} and 2 {reshape}
I'll post the deck list when I'm done.

{tinker} is not legal in modern. Depending on the mana cost of your artifacts you could go {trinket Mage} or {fabricate} and if you go with infinite mana you could always {blue sun zenith} for the win.

Oopsies. I meant {fabricate}, sorry about that. And I might add a blue sun's zenith. Right now my win con is to get infinite turns, drop a {tidespout tyrant} and win with him. The deck will be posted I'm modern soon.

Look at my mono green ramp. It consistently gets to 10-11 mana on turn for or 8 on turn three
