Urphidian Mana base

[Cyberpunker]

Hey I'm trying to decide if Shivan Reefs are worth it in the Deck. Here is what i have so far

8 Islands
4 Volcanic Islands
6 Fetchlands
3 Wastelands
1 Stripmine
1 Library
1 Sapphire
1 Ruby
1 Mana crypt(takes the place of 2 moxes, plus I don't have any other moxes)
1 Lotus

I want to maybe try cutting 1 fetchland/ 3 Islands and make it

Besides the fact that there is a high possibilty of getting color screwed, wastelands are still running around. Thus even if I do get fetchies, they will waste my volcanic. And so it ups the chance of me not being able to use my red cards.

If Reefs were added in I think I can avoid getting color screwed as much.

5 Islands
4 Shivan Reefs
4 Volcanic Islands
4 Strips
3 Polluted Delta
2 Flooded Strand
1 Library
2 Moxes
1 Crypt
1 Lotus

What does that sound to you guys?

It's rather hard to analyze a manabase without seeing the list that it's trying to support. Even if you're simply running a standard list it's helpful to list it all so that those of us not really up to date on the deck don't have to go searching for a list.

Mana Crypt in one of the slowest decks ever?

Assuming that your build is standard URhid winning with Morphling (as opposed to something using Tinker-->Colossus to win), then I would consider something like this:
7 SoLoMoxen
1 LoA
4 Volcanic Island
4 Wasteland
1 Strip Mine
4-5 Fetchies
4-5 Islands

Shivan reef is a good card to consider, but since it hurts you, I wouldn't run more than 2 of them.  Alternatively, you could consider running 2 red-based fetches and one mountain, to make you slightly more resistant to wastelands.

playing mana crypt is a mistake it will kill you in the long game.  Try playing sol ring instead
