White/Black Mana Ramp

Deck Help forum

What methods and cards can I use in Standard to mana ramp with White/Black? I've been relying on 1 and 2 drops but I will need to change when it comes to Gatecrash.

Thanks.

the orzhov keyrune will help, maybe Chromatic Lantern but besides that your choices are slim

In standard you can use Deathrite Shaman which can give you mana ramp as long as you or your opponent are using cards like Evolving Wilds and Ghost Quarter . The first being a seemingly common way to mana fix. The shaman also has it's black mana ability that gives you a small burn on a stick.

Gilded Lotus , card:Liliana's Shade and Liliana of the Dark Realms are all I can think of right now. Maybe card:Traveler's Amulet.

the shade, liliana and the amulet just put the lands into your hand, so your not really ramping, just mana fixing

although liliana's emblem does count, she is a four drop that gets you 3 lands before she gets to six loyalty. if you still need to ramp at that point, have at it

I was planning on acquiring a Liliana for the mana search function as well as the emblem. Thanks for the advice, will investigate further.
