This is an idea I am helping my teammate with. The commander is the red Theros god Porphuros and the last needed slot is held for his hammer.

I like this deck! Also, I just love EDH, and the minimal utility lands hurts my soul. Here are some cards I believe it could definitely benefit from!

- {Madblind Mountain}. Works well with {Sensei's Divining Top}! Also, it's still a Mountain, whenever that is important.
- {Hellion Crucible}, because why not?
- {Bulduvian Trading Post}, it doesn't really mess up tempo too bad, an that ping can do a world of hurt on some decks.
- {Spinerick Knoll}, because everyone loves a free Dragon!
- {Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep}, just plain nice.
- {Forgotten Cave}, it literally reads as a cantrip, I love cycling =].
- {Smoldering Crater}, moar cantrip, screw you mana flood!
- {Ghitu Encampment}, the manlands.
- {Kher Keep}, chumps.
- {Springjack Pasture}, moar chumps. Also gets along with {Trading Post}, quite well.
- {Goblin Burrows}, pumps.
- {Keldon Megaliths}, because odds of emptying your hand are pretty high.
- {Keldon Necropolis}, nuff said.
- {Shivan Gorge}, too good in EDH!
- {Teetering Peeks}, kinda iffy on this one, not really re-usable, though still nice.
- {Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle}, this guy is interesting, definitely better without other utility lands, maybe unnecessary actually. Especially because it comes in tapped. Still a contender though.
- {Mystifying Maze}, cheap and effective.
- {Vesuva}, because two lands are better than one.
- {Thepian's Stage}, no tempo loss, and can {Vesuva} repeatedly.


Not sure if I saw any cards that were reliant on your lands being Mountains in the deck, if there was, you can definitely scale back on some of these, but I think most, if not all, should be tossed in here. Utility Lands are the bees knees. =]

+1 thank you

I am a blue/ colorless mage at heart and play almost exclusively standard so I just didn't know what lands are out there. However turn 1 or turn 2 commander is important here so I need to be careful about how many tapped lands I add. I will consider each land carefully and get back to you

No problem man! Good luck with the deck!

Is {Blood Moon} legal in commander?

It sure is.


As for lands, I also like {Hammerheim}. It's essentially a mountain, but you never know when it's useless ability will, well, be useful!
