    Forest is imo the best land.
    It opens up a TON of amazing turn 1 plays and Mana fixing.
    Outside of Llanowar, Fyndorn, and Mystic elves we also have access to alternative Mana dorks (avacyns/BoP).
    While people generally say islands are better since blue is the best color, but a turn 1 island is much less impactful than a turn 1 forest.

    Command Tower is also great because it's super budget and included (I think) in every pre-constructed Commander deck (along with Sol Ring and Arcane Signet). I mean banning it wouldn't be that big of deal for veteran players that have all the possible lands ever printed (although yeah it's the best land in every 3+ colors commander decks), but it would really hit the new players, but, again, I don't think it's ever going to be be bannes since it's been a stable presence in every pre-constructed decks since I think the 1st edition.

    I'm pretty sure that because of the wording of "Pay 1 life" is different than "deal's one damage to you", you can circumvent the damage with a card like Archon of Coronation but you would still lose the 1 life if you paid it.

    What's amazing to me is that, despite running nearly all of the multi-mana lands, rituals and abusing Phyrexian mana, K'rrik manages to be just one of many solid Commander decks, rather than the juggernaut it looks like on paper. Still loooove it though!

    Poor fetchlands cycle, not strong enough individually like the Serra's Sanctum/Gaea's Cradle/Phyrexian Tower cycle :P
    I'm actually kinda curious to see Mishra's Workshop in action, because at first glance it seems like the build-around cost is too high for just one extra mana than Ancient Tomb.

    I would say Bazaar is exceptionally good in *any,* recursion deck. It's just cost prohibitive for most decks because it's like a 3000 dollar card

    It's ironic the Tabernacle gets worse as you climb the power levels, but then you hit cEDH and it's great in non green decks at shutting down dorks

    so technically mana confluence is better than city of brass, with urborg or yavimaya or other ability like from chromatic lantern or world tree mana confluence wont deal damage to you but city of brass will because the damage is dealt with city of brass taps in general and not just from its mana ability

    Guys have you considered Glacial Chasm? :)
    It's so dirty.
    One of my favorite tricks is to fetch it with crop rotation while being attacked.
    It's powerful enough to see play in vintage/legacy lands and it's also only a few bucks. Not enough people know about it!

    In a small corner case, if your opponent taps down your City of Brass, you take the damage, but not with mana confluence. Probably own’t come up in edh, but it did in a PleasantKenobi vintage-or-legacy-i-think video

  • @maydaysoc9129

    City of Brass works with yasharn out. It also works with Phyexian unlife/solemnity combo. Mana confluence does not.

    Allright, let me get another crack at predicting this list (in no particular order):
    1. Ancient Tomb
    2. Gaea’s Cradle
    3. Serra’s Sanctum
    4. Strip Mine / Wasteland
    5. Field of the Dead
    6. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
    7. Cabal Coffers and Urborg (got a hunch you guys will put these together, idk)
    8. City of Brass/Mana Confluence
    9. Bazaar of Baghdad
    10. Command Tower
    11. Myriad Landscape (real iffy about this one but it’s soooo good in lower powered decks)
    12. The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
    13. Mishra’s Workshop
    14. Prismatic Vista
    15. Phyrexian Tower (probably too specific but I know you guys won’t put maze of ith here so I had to find a 15th card 😅)
    Let’s see how many I get right! :)

    I would argue that Cabal Coffers is better than Nyxthos because it allows for better recovery from things like board wipes because it only requires your lands to be on the field. Other than that great list guys. Thanks.

    Mana confluence is better than city of brass because city of brass hits you for just tapping. An opponent could tap and untap your land and kill you with that, while mana confluence doesn't have that. Even more if you have urborg or chromatic lantern you can use mana confluence without paying life.
