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.
