In a WUB deck I only have 6-7 fetches at my disposal and often find myself getting 2 dead draws with brianstorm because I don't pull a fetch/shuffle from it. I guess I don't have enough fetch lands in the deck, and I don't really have the money to add more.
Should I go with ponder instead?
What is the optimum number (generally speaking) of fetchlands to have in your deck to facilitate brainstorm.
7 ought to be enough if you play a bit more conservatively. If you, on the other hand, cast Brainstorm at the first possible opportunity, then be prepared for dead draws.
Brainstorm is a hard card to play optimally. If everyone did play the card optimally I suspect it might be banned right now because of how ridiculously good the card can be. 7 fetches should be enough you just have to play the card right and you save your fetchlands for this reason unless you absolutely need the mana to cast a spell.
The optimal number of fetches for b. storm is probably 10 because then you will likely have a fetchland to activate every time you cast brainstorm.
Never play ponder in place of brainstorm; Sorcery < Instant.
