That fits what weve seen in the past, as what you are paying for on the front generally is the creature, and then the equip is the cost to move around, rather than a split with most equipment you see
This approach represented jobs, in-game items, and character advancement
For aggressive and tempo decks: Prioritize lands that enter untapped consistently ( Fetch Lands, Fast Lands, Pain Lands ) Avoid tapped entries that slow down early pressure Accept minor life loss as a reasonable trade-off for speed For control and value-oriented decks: Tapped entries matter less when casting expensive spells turn 4+ Extra utility like scry, cycling, or card draw provides long-term value Lands like Temples, Slow Lands, and Cycling Duals become viable options Budget Considerations Without Sacrificing Performance The best dual lands in MTG span an enormous price range, but strong mana bases exist at every budget level
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of Urianger Augurelt's last ability)
Yay for tokens and graveyard fun times
