I'm getting fed up with all the expensive mana bases being run in Standard at the moment. It's impossible to try some of the interesting (fun or powerful) decks without having playsets of the multitude of rare, nonbasic lands.

I don't mind expensive mana bases. Just when they dominate because there's no good way to punish them.

Anathamancer helped a lot though. Notice how many 5-color decks did well at regionals or the last grand prix?

I used to play this game years ago, like back in 1996 or so.

Is Blood Moon printed in 10th Edition? That would help :)
