I think 35 lands is fine with rocks and rituals. It seems a low to the ground build.

I'll +1 Inkmoth, and also lament its absence in 2xM22. Was really hoping for a copy tbh.

I'm not sure what sort of price Blood Crypt is at at this point, it has been on the List recently for what that's worth. I'll suggest Smoldering Marsh which i know for a fact is peanuts.

I know we are loaded with spells already, but was just checking and are really light on removal, while being on premier removal colors. So I'd like to put Feed the Swarm up to consideration, another removal piece, and 1 out to enchatment locks.

An excellent consideration. I think on pure mana fixing, let's keep it to around $9. This also speeds us up by not suggesting individual fetchlands.

I'm in favor of that motion. And an easy yay to the bog, but I've got a few hours before I can make my suggestion for the day.

Burning Anger yay - 2 nay - 2
Commune with Lava yay - 2 nay - 2
Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance yay - 2 nay - 0
Takenuma, Abandoned Mire yay - 1 nay - 0
Bojuka Bog yay - 2 nay - 0
Motion to remove Burning Anger and Commune with Lava from this list in favor of Dark Ritual yay - 2 nay - 0

I'll +1 the channel lands both, Bog, and Feed the Swarm too. Although I'd be happier with Chaos Warp or Wild Magic Surge. Or Fire Covenant for creature removal.

Ohmygosh wild magic surge is the real deal! Maybe we can get a final edit at the end to cover those glaring holes? @3drinks

Yeah it looks like a new format staple to me. You'd be surprised how far Fire Covenant can go too. Card is SO good.

Sokenzan has been confirmed to the list.

Burning Anger yay - 2 nay - 2
Commune with Lava yay - 2 nay - 2
Takenuma, Abandoned Mire yay - 2 nay - 0
Bojuka Bog yay - 2 nay - 0
Inkmoth Nexus yay - 2 nay - 0
Motion to remove Burning Anger and Commune with Lava from this list in favor of Dark Ritual yay - 2 nay - 0

Yay to dark ritual swap

That marks that confirmation of dark rit over the remaining two cards stuck in no-vote limbo. This closes off non-land suggestions. That brings us to 64 nonlands.

Takenuma, Abandoned Mire yay - 2 nay - 0
Bojuka Bog yay - 2 nay - 0
Inkmoth Nexus yay - 2 nay - 0

Yay to Takeneuma, Bojuka Bog, and Inkmoth Nexus. A begrudging yay on the Dark Rit swap. I know it's land time, but we talked a lot about the value of mana rocks and rituals, but we don't seem to be running enough of either, BUT...

My pick for today is Dragonskull Summit.

I'll yay that dragonkull summit. As a reminder, this is a 2c allied colour deck. Let's keep the colour fixing lands to sub ~$9. I feel like luxury suite is a great capstone for the deck. When we're done, I'll fill in the rest with basic lands.

Takenuma, Inkmoth, and Bog have been confirmed to the list.

Dragonskull Summit yay - 1 nay - 0

I think I've got a solution for that once we wrap up the lands.

Wonder if next time we could have a set max price from the beginning. Might be more fun and easier to build irl

Edit : yay on summit

I agree that we should have more discussion/consensus about price, and maybe some other elements of the process, but I need to send some appreciation to @3drinks. This has been a lot of fun, mostly due to your diligent effort. Thank you for this.

Seconded, this has been a blast. Props to 3drinks for spearheading.

For today, I'm throwing Foreboding Ruins into the mix. This thing is sub $1 and is trivial to enter untapped. In 2c, I'd argue it's better than a checkland. There's a few other lands I want to suggest, but I felt compelled to get this gem into the mix first.

Dragonskull Summit yay - 2 nay - 0
Foreboding Ruins yay - 0 nay - 0

Thanks guys for the support, I've enjoyed this process, has not felt like a burden or a drain at all. I wasn't sure it was gonna be this smooth, but nevertheless, I'm happy to be pleasantly surprised.

Yea on Ruins and the Summit. Smoldering Marsh is my suggestion for today.

EDIT - hell yes on Valakut

Feels like Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is likely going to work given our mountain count.

Valakut is $22 and it's not like inkmoth that we could just kill outta nowhere with. I think that's a bit suspect. This is a nay vote in case it's unclear.

Yay on Ruins and Marsh. Unsure on Valakut. Will vote later on that.

I'll do Command Tower today.

I'll yay marsh and tower both.

Dragonskull Summit has been confirmed.

Foreboding Ruins yay - 2 nay - 0
Smoldering Marsh yay - 2 nay - 0
Command Tower yay - 1 nay - 0

I'll throw a yay at Foreboding Ruins, Smoldering Marsh, and Command Tower - all good stuff. I'll throw a nay at Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - this card has been marginal in most mono-red builds and really wants to be in a GRx lands deck. It has almost no drawbacks for our deck but for the sake of budget, it feels like a whistle we don't need.

My suggestion today is Opal Palace. This card isn't great, but this is the kind of spot I like it - a 2-color deck that isn't super greedy on the color side and is interested in wracking up commander kills. A small investment to have Livaan start as a 3/5 or 4/6 in the endgame feels like a nice little mana sink to have around.

Command Tower Yay. Like, duh.
Opal Palace Yay. Useful budget dual.

I suggest Tainted Peak. It's a conditional "dual", but it doesn't enter tapped.

Yay on Tainted Peak and Opal Palace.
