MTG 5 Color Lands – The Perfect 5 Color Manabase

Are you playing a 5 color deck and trying to figure out the best of the MTG 5 color lands? A 5 color deck can be a lot of fun, but finding your colors when you need them can be quite challenging. This is where having a nice assortment of 5 color land cards comes into play. Having lands that can tap for any color makes color fixing so much easier.

You must have a variety of MTG 5 color land cards in order to successfully pilot a 5 color deck. Without proper color fixing, your hopes of being able to play your spells when you draw them diminishes. Having some 5 color lands will greatly assist you in finding your colors when you need them. Follow along as this is a complete guide on MTG 5 Color Lands to help you build the perfect mana base.

Why Play a 5 Color Deck?

Not only is playing a 5 color deck in MTG incredibly fun, but you literally have access to every single card available to you. Need the quickest and best ramp? You have access to green. Need no nonsense card draw? You have access to blue. Need cheap and effective creature removal? You have access to black.

So on and so forth. Your deck is only limited by what you can come up with. Popular 5 color decks in Commander are Slivers Tribal, Planeswalker Tribal, Enchantment Shrines, among many, many others.

Really, the only downside to playing a 5 color deck is ensuring you are able to get the colors you need exactly when you need those colors. This is where having a nice collection of 5 color land cards will help your deck run smoothly. By playing a plentiful amount of 5 color lands, your chances to play your differently colored spells increases exponentially.

If your opening hand has a Command Tower, for example, you already have access to you 5 colors starting on turn 1. By playing a good amount of 5 color land cards, you increase your chances of drawing one of your 5 color lands in your opening hand, or during the early game.

How Many 5 Color Lands Should I Play?

When playing Magic the Gathering, lands are one of, if not the most important aspects to deck building. After all, if you don’t have enough lands, or lands that can produce the colors you need, you won’t be able to cast your spells. If you are building out a 5 color deck, in my opinion, you want a healthy amount of 5 color lands.

For example, I have a 5 color Planeswalker deck that relies heavily on green (so I can cast a bunch of green ramp spells) and even that deck has 8 lands that can produce 5 colors. Because I lean heavily into green, I have a lot of basics, triomes and dual lands that have types.

This is so I can fetch them with my ramp spells. If that deck weren’t leaning into green and ramp so heavily, I would have included a whole lot more 5 color land cards in addition to the 8 it already has.

All of the MTG 5 Color Land Cards

The following sections are 5 color lands that can be grouped together by how they play. Each section will detail what the lands do and then provide a list of the 5 color land cards that fall into that category. Any notable differences for the 5 color land cards will also be mentioned along with a brief summary of each one.

Examples for the grouped types are tapped 5 color lands, which enter the battlefield tapped, obviously. Then there are pain 5 color land cards which will deal you damage when using them to add any color to your mana pool. Also included are single use 5 color lands that can give you a color of your choice, but only once.

Another example are limited use 5 color land cards which can give you the color you want, but only a limited number of times due to counters being removed, for example. And the list goes on. The 5 color land cards will be in alphabetical order, unless they’re part of a cycle in which they will be in WUBRG order.

Commander 5 Color Lands

This collection of 5 color land cards are what I consider the ‘Commander’ lands as they are included in almost every precon that is more than a single color. These are very budget friendly cards as they have been reprinted sooo many times. But don’t let that fool you as some of these are also really good 5 color lands in general.

MTG 5 Color Land Cards That Deal You Damage

These 5 color lands will be able to produce 1 color of any mana, at the cost of paying life or dealing you damage. Most of them only end up dealing/costing 1 damage per use, but Tarnished Citadel, for example, will deal 3 damage to you. Some of these are, in my opinion, the best 5 color land cards you can play, but beware, most of them are not budget friendly.

• City of Brass
  • Whenever it becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to you
  • Tap to add 1 mana of any color
  • Interesting note, even if City of Brass becomes a forest or swamp due to Yavimay, Cradle of Growth or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, it will still deal you 1 damage because it will be tapped

Thus, once they enter the battlefield, they are actually single or dual lands. But the ability to chose the color is why these are being included in the MTG 5 Color Land Cards guide. Additionally, all of these are very budget friendly options, minus Meteor Crater.

Meteor Crater is a bit different, but still falls under the ‘Choose a Color’ category. Each time you tap this land, you chose a permanent you control and add 1 color within that permanent’s color identity and add that chosen color to your mana pool. A special caveat worth noting, you cannot choose ‘colorless’ as your color.

• Meteor Crater
  • Tap and choose a color of a permanent you control to add 1 mana of that color

There are a few lands where you pay more but get more back, though. The downside is that it is an overall net-negative, but it certainly helps with color fixing.

Bonus MTG 5 Color Lands: Ixalan Flip Lands

The flip cards from Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan can be 5 color lands that I feel like a lot of people may overlook. The way these cards work is the front side is a permanent and the transformed backside is a land. Once you have met the required condition, you will be able to transform the permanent into the land. Although you have to jump through a few hoops to get the transformed land, the lands themselves are pretty powerful. Many of these lands even allow you to add multiple mana per use! Each card is listed with the format of permanent name // land name.
