Ant mana base
Legacy Deck Help forum
Posted on June 5, 2017, 2:28 a.m. by sirbar
So i have been playing ANT (Ad nausea tendrils) a fair bit and i haven't been able to decide on my flex spots in the mana base. At the moment I am running 8 fetches, 2 Underground Sea, 1 Swamp, 2 Island s and 1 Volcanic Island. Should I side a Tropical Island or a Bayou? Do I run a Badlands in place of the Volcanic Island? Does the Tropical Island/Bayou belong main deck? I appreciate the help.
Thank you,
GlistenerAgent that's interesting. I didn't think of cutting green. Is there really nothing that decay or carpet or any other green sideboard is needed for anymore? And adding badlands instead of volcanic island or in addition?

You still might want them for some stuff, but a lot of the main problems can be answered with Push or Chain. If you don't play green, I think the ideal manabase is 8 fetches, 3 basics, 2 Sea, 1 Volc, 1 Badlands. The biggest loss from green is really Xantid Swarm now, could splash that if you want.

A lot of lists have cut green entirely because you don't need to kill Counterbalance anymore. The fifteenth land in this case will be a Badlands. If you do play green, you can play fewer green sideboard cards and just have a Trop instead of the 2nd Island.
