What is the best mana base for a Sultai Commander deck?
Sultai wants Zagoth Triome, Polluted Delta, Verdant Catacombs, plus Watery Grave / Overgrown Tomb / Breeding Pool. Opulent Palace on a budget.

Which lands are auto-includes for Sultai?
Every Sultai 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.
