Ramp land
Sol Ring
Approx price · $2.00
Sol Ring isn't technically a land, but it's THE Commander auto-include: 1 mana for a colorless artifact that taps for two colorless mana every turn. Every legal Commander deck should run it.
Why run it
Is Sol Ring worth a slot?
Sol Ring is banned everywhere except Commander because it's so powerful. In EDH it's an unwritten rule to include it — turning your turn 1 into a turn 2's worth of mana is game-warping. If you don't play Sol Ring, you're voluntarily starting a turn behind.
Alternatives

Nothing else is Sol Ring. Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, and Ancient Tomb approach the power level at higher tables.
