Mountain Count for Chained to the Rocks
Standard forum

How many mountains (or shock lands that are part (?) mountains, not sure what the correct terminology is here, but you should get my point) should I run to warrant the use of Chained to the Rocks ?

2 mountains for every Chained to the Rocks ? I'm thinking about 3x Chained with 8 mountain-shocks.

In a 3-color deck, I prefer a minimum of 10 mountains. For a 2-color deck, your goal is consistency in the first place, so I usually go for 12+ mountains. It depends on the deck you're using and its contents, though, as a white-heavy spell density will lead you to more white-producing lands and thus less mountains.
As an example, my burn deck uses 13 mountains for my Chained to the Rocks .

I have a friend who runs what is essentially a white weenie deck that includes Boros Charm and Chained to the Rocks and if I recall correctly he only runs the shocks and temples. And I can only remember one game where he couldn't get a shock out to use the chains.

I would suggest at least double the amount your running.
