@Vladimir i agree in theory. However, in an awful lot of EDH games, turn 1 and 2 amount to something like "birds, go" and "signet, go" respectively. Missing either of those plays (and still getting to attack and draw and get any trigger if you have any) is a disadvantage, but having a consistent manabase is a HUGE advantage

One colorless utility land you forgot that is sweet is Deserted Temple. It taps for colorless, and has pay 1, tap: untap target land. It's great with Gaea's Cradle, Nykthos, Cabal Coffers, and Serra's Sanctum.

I love how Joe got all excited when he explains the reveal-lands can reveal a non-basic to enter untapped, made me think of me when I made my Esper budget manabase. Anyway this episode was really helpful, thanks mates
Tolaria West is a great utility land. It's a tutor. You can get any land, zero cost artifacts, and even suspend cards that don't have a mana cost
I already know, that I will come back to this video again and again. This is one of your most useful videos! Congratulations.
I am surprised that it took so long for this video.... lands are literally the most important part of MTG basics... love you guys
Another good budget replacement for Ancient Tomb is Crystal Vein. Loved this video!
Another awesome video guys. I have always been so hesitant to pay a lot for lands even though they are so important. I have recently smartened up to the fact that lands are very important to a good deck.
This is one of the best videos you've done. Every land I but will be through you tcg link.
33:50 the cycle and basic check lands also make you feel really good about upgrades. So when someone finally gets their hands on an onslaught fetch land, they can instantly use it to full effect.

I've mentioned this before, but emergence zone is a decent option for a utility land. Especially on a budget. Lotus Field and bounce lands also have a home, though you probably only really consider them in decks that shut down etbs. Strict Proctor is great in that regard. You just counter the sacrifice or bounce trigger by choosing not to pay.

I like lotus vale in white or boros, because of how often white count your lands. Also you can put in Flagstones of trokair for hardly any cost.
I'm here to nitpick! Forbidden Orchard was mentioned by some other people, but also Thran Quarry and Glimmervoid for the very brave of heart. Also, fast lands enter tapped after the THIRD turn, not the second turn.
I like how you guys have chapters for the video!

Great episode! There is actually a butterfly exhibit you can walk through in the San Antonio Zoo in Texas.
I don't think I heard these lands, but worth mentioning: Battlebond duels, all good imo. Kor Haven, like a Maze of Ith but taps for mana, but needs to be paid, pretty good imo. and super honorary, the Artifacts from Ixalan that transform into lands, like Thaumatic compass is great.

Thank you so much for the spoiler alert on Spider-Man. Avoiding spoilers has been infuriatingly difficult, so this was a nice change of pace.
Slime plush in the background, so proud of you two.
My cosima landfall deck is one of my most favourite deck! Cosima is love.
Always feels good to use Into The North to fetch a snoodle and double up on the entering tapped requirement.
Great video as always gentlemen. I was wondering if Mishra's Workshop would be mentioned. Not surprising as it's hella expensive, but it's really powerful in the right deck.
Halmair depths is I think very useful. Etbs tapped (taps for blue) but you get to look at and organize the top 3. Sort works out to most of ponder I really like it

16:53 there's this card that says snow permanents ETB tapped. That is the only time you would be bummed out if your deck would be full of snow basics. Other than that snow basics can be put into an Extraplanar Lens so you get the benefits and your opponents don't.

Urza's Saga, besides it being an incredibly good card it has so much else going for it. From the lore behind it to the unique art from Titus Lunter and all the hidden lore pieces he put into the piece, it's one of the coolest cards in magic in my opinion.
Woah. Literally everything
Dudes, I've been hating Maze of Ith since the 90s. I'm so with you here.
In all my decks that are Naya, Grixis, Jund, Bant or Esper, I always include Lair lands (Darigaaz's Caldera, Treva's Ruins, Dromar's Cavern, Crosis's Catacombs, Rith's Grove) as additional mana fixing land. Also good if you have a landfall mechanic in the deck.

That bouncing a land is a pretty big downside, in nonbudget I think there's so many rainbow lands that you won't need to go there but if they work for you that's cool also
Big fan of the content
I'm a big fan of Magistrate's Tower. Stops an equip on a creature, and further equipsto it that turn. Clears a targetable voltron. Random pro artifact for removal, attacking and blocking shenanigans for the equivalent of 2 mana and its repeatable.
4:58 - bonus - the shadow moor foil reflecting pool also taps for white... check it out!
The Manlands are great in any deck that has Mutate, after a board wipe it can ensure you can still get that mutate trigger off
Hi guys, nice video, but you forgot some important lands IMHO, all in budget (as an old player): Tarnished citadel/Forbidden orchard/Gemstone caverns : played in a majority of high powered decks; Mishra's Workshop : insane in anything artifact heavy, and underrated in high powered; Bazaar of Baghdad : more specific, but deserves a line in budget; The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale : I have never understood why this card is the priciest in Legends, but you HAVE to put this in your I'm never playing this section :) Basic lands :) Island of Wak Wak : I'd put this in the same sentence as Maze of Ith!
A good budget land I feel doesn't get talked about are planeshift lair cards like Dromar's Cavern, if you can use them. Yeah, you're bouncing a non lair land back but comes to play untapped.
Good sleeves. Good video.

Ok, hear me out, Lair of the Hydra has easily become one of my favorite green cards of all time (and probably my favorite land). I was not impressed with it at first, but no card has single handedly won me more games of commander. It easily goes undetected as a land (also making it hard to remove) and fits with greens ramp super well as an X spell. Pesky late game board wipe? No worries, just throw the ton of mana you have (because you’re in green) into a huge hydra that basically has haste to finish things off!
This video is 🔥🔥🔥
My rule of thumb is: Does it enter untapped and gives you at least 1 of your color? Stick it in Does it enter untapped, but it's colorless? Does it do something powerful, or they do something you deck usually can't? Maybe 2 or 3 spots Do they enter tapped? They better fix you really good, or it's a no.
My friends and I call crowd lands homie lands ,because if u got homies it comes in untapped
halimar depth works pretty well in yuriko as long as its not ur first or second land that you play tbh. third land and you can still get in for some dmg somewhere which is not too rare you get top deck manipulation for free..

It's really interesting hearing about things being "strictly better" than other things. OG duals: I can see why they are considered strictly better, but it does depend on what you're including. A tropical island is better than an island EXCEPT if opponent has something with forestwalk, or if you need to fetch a basic. "Strictly better" mostly seems to mean "almost always better than". But yes, OG duals = amazing

What do you guys think of City of Shadows in a Commander token flood deck? It builds value exiling token/s that would have died anyway after attackers / blockers are declared; however you’d probably want a flash enabler like leyline of anticipation to decide at the last possible moment between tapping it to build mana or for mana. While those steadily accumulating counters might make it a target of land destruction, many better targets were presented in this video (Nykthos, Gaea’s Cradle, Urborg, World Tree, Yavimaya, etc.); yet if those cards return to play it’s at full strength whereas with City of Shadows all those counters are gone. Evaluating the payoff is tough because this seems niche playable; but is it really? A timely video with lots of useful info, thanks very much for covering lands in detail and for any additional insights.
Was really hoping to hear your opinion on lake of the dead and serras sanctum
Nothing about MtG, but I 100% agree with Cherries that Into the Spider-verse is the best Spider-man movie. Really hyped for the second one!
I think unclaimed territory is okay in 3+ color tribal decks, and ancient ziggurat is even playable in 5 color tribal, at least as budget options.
Appreciate the spoiler warning. Was a little zoned out and it actually alerted me :P
Mono-colour decks rarely want Fetchlands, and most 2 colour decks could probably run basics and handle fixing with their ramp and do fine. Fetchlands are very powerful, but they generally require building around, which may further raise the price of your deck. I suspect they are a part of why I default to 1 and 2 colour decks, with my pair of 5 colour decks being very heavy on ramp, especially G ramp able to find other colours. I suspect if you've got G and are willing to make it your primary colour (in terms of land fixing), you will do okay, but it should make it clear how strong fetches are that to build without them requires you to not only not have as good fixing, but to also run more questionable ramp effects (like Manaliths) and you almost have to have access to G. Filter lands are nice, but I very much prefer Signet lands, because you can have none of that colour and still produce it, including if you have fast ramp like Sol Ring or Mana Crypt. Signet lands can easily power out a 3 colour commander on turn 2, but Filter lands can struggle more. Signets are IMHO the most underrated duals that exist, and I really hope they finish the cycle at some point. I wouldn't run Ancient Tomb in a 3 colour deck unless I have Signet Lands for example. Lands that can draw also combo with untap shenanigans, so Ashaya decks love War Room. I actually run Academy and Heliod's Generosity in my cEDH deck, though only HoHG is part of a combo in the deck, the other is just to keep trying to combo off under Rule of Law with artifacts, because my deck is slow but sometimes fast enough to set up Rule of Law. The deck also runs RiP, so the two can be dead cards sometimes, but the deck runs so many lands I can have a few Wastes. The other Wastes are Ash Barrens (which is handy when you run Back to Basics) and Hall of the Bandit Lord, which can turn so-so hands into threats, IE I can swing with my Commander before any sorcery speed stuff can be played, and it only used a land to do it. It is a huge problem if anyone steals a creature you gave haste, because that doesn't go away. Manlands seem interesting in decks that care about creatures, but mostly the 1 or maybe 2 mana activation ones. Blinkmoth Nexus is just another creature if you need it to be, and it only cost you 1 colourless, so it works with Ashnods to generate a neutral sac. Is it good? Maybe not, but those decks tend to be pretty grindy. Maybe better in Meren or another really recursive aristocrats deck, where finding another creature to kill can be an emergency situation to cheat out something big that turn, like a Sidisi. It's insulting that the precons don't run half-decent lands. It costs WotC no more to make a Fetch cost $10 less for a month (they'll go back up, because people stockpile them because they are staples and they know players will 'need them'), but nope. I found a half-decent use for Temple of Mystery in Tatyova... you replay it infinitely to add Scry to your existing draw, so you can at least filter a bit what you're drawing. It's not a huge buff for the deck, but it is an advantage sometimes, and if you've already got a Lotus Cobra or Provisioner out (or Amulet of Vigor haha) you can afford to bounce and cheat the Temple back in. As a result, I didn't find I needed to cut it, that is a deck that REALLY likes being able to either filter away lands or filter away non-lands, depending on what I need access to, yet wants a land to do it. I might have to see if I can fit that Lake that clones a creature in there, to clone a mana generator. That deck also runs Temple of the False God, but it runs 45 lands and likes being able to Crop Rotation into Temple sometimes for a small ramp that leaves a 2 mana land in play. It might not look good in your opener, but it combos off with Oboro Breezecaller if nothing else. I like Ramping Lands, like Blighted Woodlands, Landscape and Verge, but they're not busted by a long shot. They are great if you want to shave a few lands (Myriad feels pretty good in a 3 land hand in my experience, even if it's slow), or desperately need more fixing (because you run too many basics, though Verge can find non-basics, and thus is a non-budget option as well technically). They are also nice in Landfall decks, or decks that need to hit pretty high mana totals and just can't fit in enough ramp. Verge can find tri-lands even, so it's viable in any 5 colour deck that isn't cEDH. I like the Pain Deserts with Field of Ruin, but I've always wanted Deserts to be better cards. I may do something with them someday, but they suffer a lot from just not being very pushed. They help provide untapped coloured sources, which are usually pricey cards, so if you want a budget Field of Ruin deck, these are probably the king of cards you're looking for. In my limited experience, Halimar Depths is like being a really shitty oracle, because it's not actually changing what you draw. I tried running it in very budget Delver, and it was horrible in there, often coming close to costing me otherwise close games by itself, purely by coming in tapped. At least it's upside manages to reveal to me that I need to scoop. I think even in budget delver type decks you STILL prefer an island.
High Market comes in handy against control magic type spells and effect like the dreaded Gilded Drake. Nah, I'll just sac it, gain 1 and send it to the command zone.
My absolute favorite land is Valakut Awakening. Idc that it enters tapped. In Windgrace or any deck that can recur lands from the grave, it quickly becomes the best land in the deck. If you have Crucible of World's on the field, you can cast it then play it from the grave, then bounce it to your hand, the cast it, then play it from the grave and cast it as many times as you can recur it. The best part is if you have a Nyxbloom Ancient and Amulet of Vigor you can tap it to float 3 red mana, bounce it to your hand and then use that 3 mana to cast the spell. It's insanely good and it can easily have you drawing 14 cards per turn

As a long time Magic player, who played a lot of Legacy and Modern, it always seems funny to me that you guys would consider lands that add mana like a basic but have some minor utility to be a "freeroll". Shows how unused (and to be honest, a little bit spoiled) Commander players are from having to deal with Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon, Back to basics, Wasteland, Fulminator Mage and to a lesser extent Field of Ruin. Blood moon and Back to basics in particular, but Wasteland + Crucible + Extra land drops can work too (although, to be fair, this format has Strip Mine). Commander even has Mana crypt. I've done Mana Crypt, Mountain, Blood moon, go on turn 1 playing Winota. It was kind of funny because it just completly shut off the highest powered deck and the lower powered ones got to play basically normally. There were entire decks in older formats dedicated to turbo shutting out your opponent from casting their spells by turning their manabase worth thousands and thousands of dollars into mountains, or into wasteland food. I remember in legacy, one of Miracles' biggest strengths was how well it played with just 2 Tundras in the deck, Fetches, and a ton of basics. It allowed them to run Back to basics, made turbo blood moon decks MUCH weaker, Wasteland recursion pointless, and shut off a significant portion of Delver's gameplan. You don't know pain in Magic until you can do nothing but stare uselessly at your lands desperately hoping your deck gives you one of your two basics. You guys say it's a freeroll, I say if you don't need the land to be a nonbasic (either because of mana fixing, very high utility, tainted pact or some specific synergy), just play basics. Don't rely on never meeting opponents who want to wreck your greedy manabase as a gameplan.
At the oregon they have a whole walk in butterfly exhibit were they give you nectar and butterflies will land on you. They also have a lot of bugs. They oregon zoo is also one of the top zoos in the nation imo and it is in charge of the elephant breeding for north america
The rogue mdfc land is awesome
Just play the cards u like. Even if a KZread you like says it's trash. It's your deck play the way u want to.
I try not to run any etb's tapped lands unless the have the ability to untap per some stipulation. That way you're almost never missing out on mana. It sucks when I have no lands in hand on turn 4 or 5 and draw a tapped land. It's almost like missing a land drop for the turn
Strip mine should be auto include as sol ring is. Also cleansing wildfire targeting your own indestructible land...2 Mana search for a land put it into play draw a card....also again unclaimed territory is amazing in tribal type decks that span 4-5 colors, slivers humans to name two
pro tip if your budget can’t keep up with your playgroup land-wise, they all lose to blood moon

sounds almost as crazy when I kept trying to sell one of the triple booster packs of ultimate masters. Nobody wanted to buy it sealed so I eventually opened it up about 2 months later and opened a snapcaster mage, lilianna of the veil, and a foil phyrexian alter.

For mono colored decks that aren't green, I'm a big fan of depletion lands and the sac land cycle from Fallen Empires
