Card/Deck Mana rocks / Colourless mana fixing

[Chris Taylor]

My main issue with Wildfire is that you need to devote a lot of space to mana rocks to support the deck, because you can count on U/x control nabbing some number of them every draft. I think the number somebody came up with is 12 in a 450 - or was it 14? I forget - which is a higher density than I'm comfortable running. I have 6 in 360 right now, which feels about right for my environment.

You can make this a little more paletable by making some of the rocks 3CC or higher. Control decks don't really want much outside signets because their turn 4 is important, but wildfire decks are fine with something like vessel of endless rest.
They deserve better, which is why mine are custom, but you get the idea

Honestly my density of artifacts is super low while rocks is super high because I don't run much else, artifact wise. 44/450 colorless cards, which includes all the wastelands/mana confluences/mutavaults/equipment/shitty shitty artifact creatures

I have traditionally played without mana rocks in my cube, but this weekend I'm planning to them out, because I bought the new FTV, and I just want to at least get a feel for the wildfire/burning of xineye and upheavel. The compromise I'm planning on trying is only colorless mana (other than sphere of the suns) at 2 CMC, and colored rocks at 3.

Nice! I highly recommend it. Somewhat affected by the 4cc sweepers you run: Wrath of God is more affected by this change than hallowed burial is, for example.
