'''Mana fixing''' refers to the process of ensuring that the correct lands or sources of mana are played in order to be used for the cards in one's hand. For instance, a [[Birds of Paradise]] can be used to ensure that a player has access to a color other than green (which was used to play the birds).

==Description==
A deck for a starting player is usually one or two-colored, and for them the set of basic lands will usually suffice. However, as decks get more complex and colorful, a player may have to branch out into different sources, like nonbasic lands, artifacts or certain creatures. For instance, a [[Birds of Paradise]] can be used to ensure that a player has access to a color other than green (which was used to play the birds).<ref>{{DailyRef|making-magic/mana-all-fixins-2009-03-23|Mana with All the Fixin's|[[Mark Rosewater]]|March 23, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|latest-developments/dark-side-mana-fixers-2007-05-25|The Dark Side of Mana Fixers|[[Devin Low]]|May 25, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|latest-developments/fixing-environment-2009-03-27|Fixing the Environment|[[Tom LaPille]]|March 27, 2009}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|latest-developments/standard-mana-fixing-2013-07-01|Standard Mana Fixing|[[Sam Stoddard]]|July 5, 2013}}</ref> For the Limited player, the basic lands are on the low end of acceptable, so fixing is also important there.

Mana fixing refers to the process of ensuring that the correct lands or sources of mana are played in order to be used for the cards in one's hand.

Description

A deck for a starting player is usually one or two-colored, and for them the set of basic lands will usually suffice. However, as decks get more complex and colorful, a player may have to branch out into different sources, like nonbasic lands, artifacts or certain creatures. For instance, a Birds of Paradise can be used to ensure that a player has access to a color other than green (which was used to play the birds).[1][2][3][4] For the Limited player, the basic lands are on the low end of acceptable, so fixing is also important there.

Cards that can produce any color mana
