Multi-Colored Lands Advice in EDH
Deck Help forum

Currently my EDH deck Sister Slivers is running the following:
These are nice cards as they allow me to produce any color of mana I need (since this is a Sliver deck I need all 5 as well), but they are just so slow! Having them enter either tapped while paying 1 colorless, or adding colorless to give extra mana can really slow the game down in the early stages if the board isn't set yet.
I've been toying around with the idea and wanted thoughts on the following cards.
Exotic Orchard : It's a gamble card (maybe sideboard) as you might not always know what your opponent is playing.
Grand Coliseum : it's basically City of Brass , Mana for the Ping, but it does allow colorless, unlike City. Still it has the tapped aspect.
Pillar of the Paruns : This deck currently runs 10 multicolored cards (one being the commander). So I'm questioning it's efficiency at 10%. (But being that I can tutor out those cards makes it worthwhile)
Forbidden Orchard : Any mana is great, and when this deck picks up giving them a 1/1 flier seems like a good trade off.
card:Thespian's Stage: It seems like a good card to let me copy any land (or land of my opponent).
I'm not sure if I missed any other cards or not.
I think in the end putting all or most of these cards in this deck will improve it. There are some I have questions about (which is why I'm asking here)
As always, thanks again in advance!

@meecht I know those would be Ideal to add, but budget does come into play when it comes to those cards right now. : /

Epochalyptik created a list on here that contains many cards that people consider "staples" for EDH. You could check out the Land section for ideas.
List of EDH Staples and Power Cards
Something to consider is to include mana rocks like Sol Ring , too.

Since your Commander has five colors I would probably run Exotic Orchard . You may not have control over the color of mana you get, but with a five-colored Commander you will always get colored mana out of it unless you opponent is running one of the three (?) Legendaries with a colorless identity.
Forbidden Orchard is probably alright. Lets you have some diplomatic fun by handing out creatures and, since you have cards that let you change opponent's creature types and your general lets you yoink, you're really just seeding the board with potential 1/1 Slivers.
I would definitely run card:Thespian's Stage. Land copying just seems too useful to pass up.

@SpammyV Thanks for the comments.
To be honest- I never thought of Stealing the Spirits! What a great little fun trick!

If you have the budget, you could include Zendikar fetch lands like Scalding Tarn , Arid Mesa , Misty Rainforest , etc.
