My order IMO:

1. Alpha Duals (pretty sure everyone agrees)
2. Shocks
3. Fetches
4. Checks
5. Fast lands
6. The lands that become creatures (can't remember the names)

I like fetches over shocks

Mattao19

It's a definite toss up but Idk it depends on your deck I feel like 3+ colour decks fetches are better but I play 2 colour so to me Im not in need of that kind of mana fix. Plus you're fetching your shocks anyway so I think shocks are better

What the heck are check lands? Stuff like {sulfur falls}?

Mattao19

Ya isn't that what you call them?

Lands that become creatures are called "tapped manlands" ex. {Celestial Colonnade}. How does everyone feel about Life-gain taplands like {Sejiri Refuge}

A slightly better Guildgate
They are slow, they gain you 1 life which is meh and they aren't mountain, forest, etc. so I don't like them

1. Old dualies
2. Fetches
3. Shocks
4. Manlands (love me some {Celestial Colonnade})
5. Check lands
6. Filter lands
7. Pain lands
The very bottom. Guildgates

Life gain lands and dual lands that make you take one land back to your hand are my favs.

I personally do not consider fetch lands as dual lands... I consider them more as enablers

True but they still are duals

How so? You can't tap them for mana. That's why I consider them enablers. They enable you to get to the mana, but don't actually give you mana.

They are called Karoo lands. Named after a cycle that started with  {Karoo}

My fave is the guildgates. Mainly because my format of choice is pauper.
