I’m currently running ten 5-color lands at 540, would probably run only 6 at 360-375 if I wanted to keep a similar ratio. I’d probably run the following:
- City or Brass
- Mana Confluence
- Grand Coliseum
- Gemstone Mine
- Terramorphic Expanse
- Evolving Wilds / Ash Barrens
Good mix of untapped / ETB tapped. City / Confluence are no-brainers. Grand Coliseum is always solid, especially for 3+ color control decks. Gemstone Mine is good for aggro / combo, and I like it slightly more than Undiscovered Paradise. I value the Expanse / Wilds pretty highly since they go well with recursion effects, fuel Delve, and shuffle effects are always good to have.
I love putting all the standard dual color ones in such as shocks felch original duals I absolutely love the Vivid lands I think the hate it's gotten over the years for enabling five color control decks is overrated because I really think it depends on your meta. In the last I would say 6 years of having a cube with the Vivid lands I have not really seen five color control Step Up and that's playing with all sorts of people at the local game shops and holding tournaments with the cube.
to me the more Mana fixing you have the better
