How would you build a budget mana base utilizing these cards :
Black & White
Fetid Heath (Filter land)
Caves Of Koilos (Pain land)
Reflecting Pool , Tainted Field (buddy lands)
Basic Plains & Swamps
Marsh Flats or other fetch lands
: You can't use cards on the Reserved List.
From 20-24 lands.
*I would use tainted lands for the lands from 20-24
A manabase with no wastes in Legacy needs only like 22 lands, otherwise you're going to flood--hard. Just run 4 Marsh Flats, 2 black fetches, 2 white fetches, and basics.Originally Posted by Troll_ov_Grimness
A friend of mine had a budgety-Deadguy Ale for awhile and had absolutely no mana issues using almost exclusively basics. In fact he has Scrublands now and still fetches almost exclusively basics. It's not hard to do with a 2 color deck.
Especially a two color deck with not so intensive mana requirments like deadguy. Where You have lily at double black.. And that may be it.
Or you could just use swamps and dark depths and make. The Gate. Or just plains and build Ascension....

When your heart won't beat, your eyes go black
There's a light in the tunnel and you can't turn back
Your friends can't save you, your family's gone
You're waiting on your judgment at the foot of the throne
Will you beg for some mercy? Will you cop some pleas?
Will you stand on your own or get down on your knees?
Will your angels release you from where demons dwell?
Will you make it into Heaven or go right back to Hell?
Only time will tell
Fetches, basic Plains and basic Swamp. Possibly, 1x Urborg into the mix as well. With Urborg on the table, you can tap also white fetches and Plains to gain black mana. 1x Bojuka Bog is also worth mentioning because of its graveyard hate effect, and 1x Karakas because it helps to fight vs. Show and Tell, Sneak Attack and Reanimate.
Considering that mono-black is shit, you need to do something unfair.
Dark Depths is fun. Run that with lots of removal and discard to piss off your opponent.
If you're on a budget, start with building Ascension and start compiling the pieces that you would need for Deadguy, and you could go for black-splashed Ascension while in transition between the two decks (while you're buying the cards for Deadguy).
