Description
Ideal mana base, not running the full 7 Fetch lands as there are less fetch-able dual sources in the enemy colour pairs.
Your budget comes into effect as well, if you can only afford the basic tapped duels you won't be to slow (they are there for giving your mana base structure) It just slows you down a bit as they enter tapped. Check Mana Base Crafter for examples.
The utility lands can be swapped out to be whatever you need them to be but I tend to run Ancient Tomb and Strip Mine in all of my decks, starting to see Scavenger Grounds put in work and it also becoming a staple in most decks I run. Check EDHREC for your Commander to show the most played options.
Basics lands ratio will depend on your mana requirements in your deck, I have just split down the middle to fill the numbers for basic lands.
Note: 1 - That if you are running a tribal deck you can swap out Mana Confluence & City of Brass for Path of Ancestry & Unclaimed Territory also swapping out a utility land for Cavern of Souls.
Note: 2 - There is a point to run the other fetch lands (Flooded Strand, Marsh Flats & Windswept Heath) for Mistveil Plains, as in this particular deck I run Sunforger and Mistveil Plains as it's a fantastic recycle utility for your Instants tutored up by Sunforger .
Note: 3 - Giant tribal decks also get a nice tribal Dual Land Ancient Amphitheater that can replace one of the enters tapped duels.
