Questions & Answers
FAQ
What is the best mana base for a Jeskai Commander deck?
Jeskai wants Raugrin Triome (or Mystic Monastery), Scalding Tarn, Flooded Strand, plus Steam Vents / Hallowed Fountain / Sacred Foundry. Every Jeskai deck should run Command Tower, Exotic Orchard, and a copy of Reflecting Pool. Beyond those, fill by budget: $50 = pain lands + tapped duals + basics; $100 = check lands; $250 = shocks + selective fetches; $500 = original duals + full fetch/shock synergy.
How many lands should a Jeskai deck run?
A well-tuned Jeskai Commander deck runs 36–38 lands. Sit at 37 by default. Fewer than 35 misses drops; more than 39 dilutes the game plan.
Which lands are auto-includes for Jeskai?
Every Jeskai deck runs Command Tower and Exotic Orchard. Reflecting Pool, Mana Confluence, and City of Brass become progressively more valuable the more colors you play. Always leave 1–2 utility land slots for the specific archetype.
Is it worth running fetch lands in Jeskai?
Yes — Jeskai benefits significantly from fetches because they thin your deck, fix your mana across three colors, and enable shock-land targets. At $250+ budget, run 4–6; at $500+, run 8+.
