EDHREC hasn’t published enough decks for Pharika, God of Affliction yet, so this manabase isn’t drawn from real-deck inclusion data. It’s ranked by a land-quality heuristic instead — Commander staples and the strongest in-budget cycles first, then basics split across the identity. A solid baseline to start from, not a tuned list.

About This Manabase

Pharika, God of Affliction is a Golgari commander with a BG color identity, so any land that produces only those colors is fair game. Our auto-built manabase above starts at the Optimized $100 tier. EDHREC doesn’t yet have deck data for Pharika, God of Affliction, so picks are ranked by a land-quality heuristic — Commander staples and the strongest in-budget cycles first (shocks and untapped fixing, dropping to scry and tap-duals as the cap tightens), with the rest filled by basics split across the identity. The picker always includes Commander staples like Command Tower, Exotic Orchard, Path of Ancestry , and others when they fit your identity — these are nearly auto-includes in any EDH deck. From the catalogued cycles, the picker pulled Overgrown Tomb, Windswept Heath, Bloodstained Mire, Wooded Foothills , plus 5 more for Pharika, God of Affliction's manabase.

Pick a tier above to reshape the manabase. The Budget ($25) tier leans on basics and the cheapest utility lands; Optimized ($100) adds the best mid-priced duals and untapped fixing the budget allows; Unlimited drops the price cap so premium duals and in-identity fetches come in. Filter out tap-lands for faster decks, or pin yourself to fetchable lands for a fetch-heavy ramp shell.
