Deck Description

This deck is in the works, and I need all the help I can get to improve it! The deck focuses on land and creatures that provide mana to be tapped. Right now the deck needs some combos and faster play cards so if you have some ideas I will be glad to hear them. I am still new to MTG only my second month I need the help....thanks.

Deck discussion for The Beginning

There are a lot of good cards in here. It looks like you're going for all colors, so lands are going to be one of your number one priorities. You can get some creatures that find land (usually only basic land, though). That way, you will be able to choose what color you want. Creatures such as Sakura-Tribe Elder, Civic Wayfinder, and Farhaven Elf. If you want more creatures that tap for mana, Birds of Paradise, Boreal Druid, (more) Druid of the Anima, (more) Noble Hierarch, Llanowar Elves, and Werebear are some of the best bets. Also some creatures, such as Wild Cantor, sacrifice for mana.

For creatures that come out faster, look at some of the hybrid cards out of Eventide, Shadowmoor, Ravnica block, and Alara Reborn. They tend to be easier to cast, for a start.

For lands, one suggestion I have is to use Vivid lands in combination with Exotic Orchard to make any color, though Rupture Spires work nicely too. Something to look for (though they tend to be a little more expensive) are the rare lands out of 10th edition, Ravnica block, and Shadowmor-Eventide. A good number of land for a deck like this would be 22-25, depending on how often you find yourself needing land. The mana-producing and land-searching creatures will help this a lot.

Since you're running all five colors, good cards to look at would be ones that cost all 5 (they tend to be powerful...such as Child of Alara and Maelstrom Archangel), and cards with the Domain ability (such as Exploding Borders)

One suggestion I have for you is to work on deck consistency...pick out which cards you like best and work best in your deck, and try to get multiples of those. It will give the deck focus and make it easier for you to find the cards that will help you most.
