Solid land fix

Dsx Cherno · March 31, 2015, 02:20:52 PM

whats are some solid lands to play in a {B}{G} deck with a splash of {R}? I have 4 {Savage Lands} in there, which work fine, but the {Golgari Rot Farm} isn't working, and I'm iffy on {terramorphic expanse}. The only red cards are covered well with the savage lands and the mana production of the deck itself. I was thinking the BG temple, and BG pain lands. Any ideas that don't break the bank or my life total?

If you don't mind spending a bit you should get fetches and shocks.

I'm trying to keep cost down.

Check lands. {Dragonskull Summit}. Cheap and grade A in my books. There's also {Blackleave Cliffs} style lands but I greatly prefer checks.

What is the BG equivalents to those?

You're lucky I felt like finding it for you.

{Woodland Cemetery} is the check land. There is no fast land for {B}/{G} but there's,

{Twilight Mire} an out of budget filter land.

{Tainted Wood} and the worst name ever printed on a card.

Wood taint isn't Modern. Hmm. Thank you very much.

Added 4 Cemetery and 4 summits to my list. I'll test them later. Thank you very much

Also put 4 {rootbound crag} on there too. I'm thinking if I run 4 Cemetery, and 2 each of Crag and Summit (don't run mountains so that splits my check chance in half) that should pair up well with the Savage Lands.

Glad I could help. If you can get your hands on some shocks they make checks so much better. Sorry about {Tainted Wood}. I just assumed because I happen to have a couple and don't normally acquire cards that are old enough to not be Modern legal.

No worries. Maybe it will be in MM2015

It'd be pretty disappointing.

I'm not expecting anything super special
