Which Lands You Should Be Putting In Your White Commander Decks

[@juice17776]

I built an Avacyn, Angel of Hope deck and some of these are great additions to it. I’m not a big fan of tap lands but I might add in the cycle ones. Flagstones is a fun card when you’re playing the Armageddon. If you have a land in hand you can be two lands up on everyone else.

[@dylansturm8065]

I'm Voltroning mine. Howd you build yours?

[@caden8592]

Hey nice to see a shoutout to my Yomiji deck at 4:30 ; Yomiji + Flagstones is outstanding with Aura Fracture / Dust Bowl

[@viruse388]

Flagstones of Trokair has some good synergy with Lotus Field. Lotus Field also lowers your land count so it will be better for those effects that look for more lands on the opponents side.

[@Twinsidedsoldier]

One of my favorite combos in landfall/ramp strategies.

[@AccelusDominus]

I think this is the best way to build monowhite landbase. all of these random utility lands that enter the battlefield tapped can really hamper ur earlygame. Just Emeria, Lotusfield, Flagstones, Nykthos and war room+bonder's enclave for card draw(that white strugles with) and rest just plains is a very good. throw in Lotus vale and scavenger grounds if u can afford

[@ScorpioneOrzion]

@@AccelusDominus maybe mistveil plains as well

[@olafthemoose9413]

Mistveil plains is godly when combined with sunforger. Flachstones is pretty good with wildfire reclamation or geomancers gambit as ramp spells that draw a card in your RWx decks

[@RowinMarkov]

Emeria the sky ruin was incredible in my Kerametra deck. As soon as i drew the Emeria i just used Kerametra to agressivly pull more plains and ignore forests

[@mattsmetalATX]

Great show! I have never saved so many cards to my order list after an episode. I need almost every card! You have such a great show. Please keep it up!

[@arcianistorres8483]

Currently building Evra so this is SUPER useful thank you!

[@loosemoose5217]

4:50 flagstones is amazing in every white deck, I always include weathered wayfarer, and if you start a game with a white source and weathered wayfarer, on turn two you can fetch flagstones, turn three you can get lotus field, play it, sac the flagstones and your initial turn 1 land, and you get a free plains out, turn 4 fetch thespian stage and copy lotus field with it and bam you ramped a ton, hell get ancient tomb after, you ramp with almost no downside since it was just done with weathered wayfarer

[@meximan374]

Def needed, I want to add to my Oketra & Gisela decks. Thanks D!!

[@roflsnpwncakes]

they aren’t white lands, but guildless commons and lotus field are really, really good in mono white decks. since white ramp depends on your opponents having more lands, they help you go down on lands without going down on mana. lotus field has tons of other synergies too, like saccing flagstones of trokair as one of the lands, or using brought back to immediately get the 2 lands you sacrificed back on the field

[@AccelusDominus]

also sun titan is very good if u have thrown lands earlier to your gy

[@Wojtek36762]

Great ideas! My friend has a Tayam deck where Rustic Clachan could be perfect, Tayam needs counters and can always get the land back from graveyard later if needed. I’m gonna grab a Shafet Dunes for my Maja deck, which often ends up with tons of lands and excess mana in the late game and needs to fuel a wide token push. I used to run Forbidding Watchtower in my old Doran deck where it’s a 5/5

[@harrylund2795]

Regarding idyllic grange and if it's worthwhile in a hamza deck. I'd say purely as it's a green colour pairing, it is, as with all of the ramp available, it is likely that when seeing you have an idyllic grange in hand, and play a few ramp cards searching for plains specifically to reach that threshold.

[@dakodastevens8972]

I am really not a huge fan of Emeria. Like yes there are decks that can run it, but in general I think that card is a trap. Entered tapped is a big deal, more so in white then in a lot of colors because a lot of white decks want to get their tax effects on line asap or start building a board early, which makes it a lot more punishing. Like you have room for a few tap lands, but I am unconvinced this should be one of them. Also white has pretty bad card draw and ramp so you are unlikely to have 8 lands in play by turn 8 which is the minimum required to turn it on. Guessing turns 10-12 is probably around the time you will be hitting land drop 8, and even if all of them are plains you still have to wait an entire turn to get any value out of it. It's also a prime target to eat a decimate or a strip mine or what have you. So if everything goes super well you can generally expect to get your first creature on turn 11 or so? That is just god awful slow (I'm not sure about you guys but I don't have that many games that last to turn 11 much less past that). You have to make a lot of deck building sacrifices to even do that consistently, namely not play some other tap land and also not play a bunch of other good non basic lands that aren't plains (like the MDFCs or a fair amount of the lands in this video).

[@ildlyn8966]

i mean the downside of blighted steppe is that you could a good colorless utility land in instead

[@Belena711]

I have Emeria in my Yasharn ETB deck, and it gets the plains it needs pretty easily. Which makes me think that it will work in most land-ramping style decks that have green.

[@Grooove_e]

I'm currently running a mono white Angels/Humans/Enchantments, and I have nearly all of the lands on this list including Serra's Sanctum and its so much fun to play and build around cause there's so many amazing mono-white enchantments

[@seanredmond1366]

Mistveil Plains is a crucial piece in Sunforger decks.

[@PatrickBrophy]

Flagstones + Dust Bowl is a fun time. And then recur the Flagstones over and over.

[@FirePhoenix103]

So I have emeria the sky ruin in my Iroas, god of victory deck. I have been able to pull off it's requirement of 7 plains (Iroas is boros). My deck is about 1/3rd to 1/4th of my deck is red so emeria the sky ruin works somewhat with decks that are more than 50% white

[@lockecole3726]

Emeria is the reason I don't want to add some of the other cards you mentioned to my Mono-white deck. Besides the ones you mentioned that have the plains type printed on them.

[@Dynoboot]

Here's an idea I came across recently: put lands like Lotus Field, Karoo and Guildless Commons in your white deck. They all tap for more than one mana, but you'll have to sacrifice or take lands back in your hand. You'll fall behind on lands compared to other players, but mana stays equal, which is what you want to happen. Now play cards like Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger and Keeper of the Accord. You're behind in lands, so you get to play extra lands now. Sun Titan and Brought Back can put lands from the graveyard back on the battlefield, so you can even get back the lands you sacrificed for Lotus Field.

[@SackofDooDoo]

I do this, too, but in addition, I run Strict Proctor as disruption and pseudo ramp. This allows you to play lotus field and bounce lands without a downside ('yeah, I'll choose not to sacrifice two lands for my lotus field'). It feels good to have an opening hand with lotus field and Strict Proctor in it.

[@OniTreefolk]

Blighted Steppe a good target for Brought Back in a pinch!

[@AdamHarte]

I think Serra's Sanctum cost more that the rest of the list combined!

[@eoin5169]

I'm running Makindi Stampede || Makindi Mesa (sorcery 3WW, creatures you control get +2/+2 EOT) in my Ranar deck, alongside Shefet Dunes. My build is... not a very combat-oriented deck at all! Kinda hits like a wet noodle, most of the time, and usually wins via infinite combos. But late game, when you've got lands to spare and 5 or so innocent-looking flying 1/1 spirits, the ability to knock out a player unexpectedly can be really useful, and it has definitely come up before. I'd be lying if I said it comes up a *lot*, but the opportunity cost is pretty low. If your deck isn't running a lot of tapped lands already, I definitely suggest checking out the range of ZDR MDFC lands to see if there's something in there that fits your build!

[@BFG93]

Mistveil is fantastic in Quintorius deck!

[@satpiegaming6756]

I also quite like New Benalia, great budget option for a bit of card selection 😊

[@eusebioalbertieri2248]

Seijiri steppe in the deck + crop rotation in hand ... nice

[@kingfuzzy2]

Serras sanctum you can just make everything an enchantment with a tutored out enchanted evening to have an urborg situation. You really just need one or two enchants to run it if you have tutors imho

[@Kryptnyt]

Monowhite ramp is predicated on having fewer lands than your opponents, so Lotus Vale, Scorched Ruins, and Lotus Field can be quite powerful, two of which don't like Strip Miney metas but what can you do eh? haha. Also if you're running those, Thespian's Stage gets a lot better.

[@AccelusDominus]

these really must be the best mono white lands. with weathered wayfarer and expedition map you can find the pieces very reliably

[@kingfuzzy2]

Thanks I've a got a few more options for my michiko konda truth seeker ramp deck

[@HugoPCarvalho]

I like Forbidding Watchtower in my Doran, Soldier 5/5 now xD

[@LadyTsunade777]

Flagstones of Trokair used to be an auto-include in any deck that had White back in the old Legendary rules, when it checked the whole battlefield rather than each players' separately. Since at worst it entered untapped and tapped for a W, but if multiple players had it they'd blow up and fetch other Plains (like Mistveil Plains). Otherwise, I wouldn't personally recommend most of these lands. Lands that enter tapped just aren't good in general, but especially in White with the worst mana ramp. If you're in White, you want lands with Plains subtypes because most of White's land fetching specifies the subtype, and you also want to turn on Emeria the Sky Ruin as fast as possible.

[@AccelusDominus]

opening hands with like 4 lands and 2come in tapped really made me thing about my monowhite manabase again. early game is important to keep up with every1 else

[@VinnieKielbasa]

I'm wondering if one day Icatian Store and other Fallen Empires lands with storage counters are going to get some kind of amazing combo with proliferate.

[@cteal2018]

Atraxa

[@kingfuzzy2]

I've played against my friends karametra proliferate deck and the storage lands do have game ending combos in them along with fading counters combos

[@drachir7146]

Cycle lands + Sun Titan = Ramp Matter of fact any sac lands with Sun Titan its super nice ramp

[@cteal2018]

Mistveil plains is a MUST if you are running Sunforger in RW+

[@kingfuzzy2]

That's a combination

[@redram9]

It is worth noting that there is a cost to cards like Eiganjo castle. Non basic land hate and basic land synergies don't work with such lands. Extraplanar lens becomes marginally weaker with fewer basic lands, as does Gauntlet of Power, both great cards in a mono white deck. I've run Eiganjo castle in nearly every white deck and I have never once activated it. I've since replaced it with a dual land or a basic. Just a thought

[@AccelusDominus]

you must be in really deep shit if ur gonna pay 5 mana for a 1/1 human token.

[@JimboBango]

YEEEES been waiting for this!

[@dylanfarley8136]

Kor haven is great against voltron decks. Sure leaving the mana up can slow you down, but it's a great way of making your opponet send that damage elsewhere.

[@kingfuzzy2]

I usually play it in decks I'm swinging each turn or fog tribal

[@burnsboy101]

Any land that makes you have less lands in a white deck is great e.g lotus field which is also good with flagstones

[@mitchellcrunow7342]

I think it's more like clackan?

[@thedanath]

The only non basics i run in my mono white deck are, Nykthos Shrine to Nyx, Emeria the sky ruin, and Minas Tirith. Possibly if you want extra card draw War room is a good land to have. Karoo is a horrible land 99% of the time since you need an untapped plains to bring to your hand to bring it into play. The only time its "ok" is if you happen to get it in your opening hand and you dont have a turn 2 play you want to make.

[@bryangelnett6237]

Idea for black and red busted lands. Black-add mana for each legendary creature in your graveyard. Red add red mana for each instant or Socery you have casted this turn

[@MTG69]

What's up with the Kjeldoran Outpost card art?

[@kingfuzzy2]

It's really relaxing and good

[@EvertfromNederland]

Karoo does not do you any good right?

[@CrankyKidneys]

It’s here! Woot woot!

[@brendan8114]

i put idyllic grange in my karametra deck

[@brendan8114]

same with emeria, i usual;ly use karametra to grab plains because of this

[@mushimushi9706]

Desert of the true Drifting meadow Secluded steppe Blighted steppe Eiganjo Castle Mistveil plains Flagstones of trokair Karoo Castle Ardenvale Cave of frost dragon

[@alibarakat7822]

White is the best color

[@Jaryism]

Plains

[@dariocampanella7992]

no dual face lands very useful anyway.

[@BatCaveOz]

Daru Encampment...? LOL

[@Coolman27011]

5 mana and sac a land for a +1/+1 anthem is a garbage rate, thats why you didnt put it in any decks.

[@shikabaneconga]

sorry, almost every deck is gonna have a legendary creature?
