Naya Burn manabase?
Modern forum

Hey all. I have a budget burn deck (not the Hidetsugu's Second Rite one on my profile, a different one) and I am planning to upgrade to Naya Burn (No Nacatl). So my question is, why do we not play the fastlands, and instead play all shocks and fetches?
I understand that fetches can thin the deck (I will only be running eight fetches in my planned version), but why all the shocks? They seem suck against the mirror and other agressive decks.
My planned manabase is something along the lines of 2 shocks, 8 fetches, 6 fastlands, and 4x Mountain.
If you're running non-Nacatl Burn, 3-4 fastlands is perfectly fine. 6 is a bit much, and I would strongly recommend 10 fetches if you're going non-Nacatl and thus have 2 Grim Lavamancer in the main.

Shocks and fetches allow us to have the mana we want, when we want it. It also thins the library so we hopefully draw only the spells we need. We also generally win or lose fast enough that our life total doesn't matter. Fastlands do neither of those things for us.
We also want shocks because of Wild Nacatl, if you play it.

I stated above that I am not running Nacatl.
rothgar13 yeah, I know more fetches is better than less for sure because of Searing Blaze and lavamancer. I will play around with different amounts of shocks (fetches are a monetary problem, so the number will stay at 8).

I think RW burn with 4 vantage is just better than naya right now

Because fetches and shocks give you the perfect mana whenever you need it, turn on nacatl and generally you don't care about the mirror.
