Questions & Answers
FAQ
What is the best mana base for a Temur Commander deck?
Temur wants Spara's Headquarters (or Ketria Triome), Misty Rainforest, Scalding Tarn, plus Breeding Pool / Steam Vents / Stomping Ground. Frontier Bivouac is fine budget fixing. Every Temur 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 Temur deck run?
A well-tuned Temur 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 Temur?
Every Temur 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 Temur?
Yes — Temur 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+.
