Questions & Answers
FAQ
What is the best mana base for a Five-color (WUBRG) Commander deck?
Five-color mana bases are all about consistency: every fetch, every dual, every triome, plus five-color fixers (City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Reflecting Pool, Cascading Cataracts). Basics get replaced by more fetch targets. Every Five-color (WUBRG) 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 Five-color (WUBRG) deck run?
A well-tuned Five-color (WUBRG) Commander deck runs 36–38 lands. Lean toward 38 — the color demands outweigh the flood risk. Fewer than 35 misses drops; more than 39 dilutes the game plan.
Which lands are auto-includes for Five-color (WUBRG)?
Every Five-color (WUBRG) 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 Five-color (WUBRG)?
Yes — Five-color (WUBRG) 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+.
