I am toying around with Landstill trying to make a decent budget build for an aggro meta. However I am not quite sure on the manabase and especially the use of fetchlands and I am hoping you guys can help me out. Here is the decklist I use atm: 5x Island 2x Mountain 4x Volcanic Island 1x Strip Mine 4x Mishra's Factory 4x Wasteland 4x Faerie Conclave 1x Lotus Petal 4x Lightning Bolt 4x Force of Will 4x Fire/Ice 4x Counterspell 3x Teferi's Response 2x Chain of Vapor 2x Stifle 3x Misdirection 4x Standstill 4x Nev's Disk 1x Time Walk (got a CE version  ) SB: 4x Chalice 4x Maze of Ith 4x REB 3x Tormod's Crypt All comments (not only on the manabase) are welcome!

I just thought of this. You could splash green for Living Wish so you can fetch those Maze of Ith when you need them. You could also throw in a Dust Bowl in your sideboard and other useful land cards to fetch for. I also think Landstill can benefit from the new man land from Darksteel Blinkmoth Nexus.  |

Yeah, the new manlands rule, although they are only 1/1 .. kinda slow clock.  About splashing green for wish; getting acces to the Mazes rocks, but other than that I see no real benefits .. U/G is just not good enough and U/R/g would mess up the manabase too bad. |

I really dont think the new manland is any good, having 1 power is too much of a downside to play unless you are going to run more than 8 manlands.
As for fetches, I think that 2 or 3 should be fine, the deck dosent want to thin out too much land but it needs the colored mana.

Landstill useally needs no fetch lands, or maybe 1-2 if you feel so. Without the power though and the extra lands, I don't see why not. Test four although I don't think that may be the right number, and then adjust from there. Also, how has disk worked for you without Drains? Not that I can think of anything else at the moment for it, but it loses some of it's power when you can't drop it for "free".

Disk is good wether or not you have drains IMO. It wipes the board clean - that's worth 4 mana. Sometimes it can be a pain because it takes a while to cast - but worth it. Powder kegs can help out in heavy aggro as can propaganda + ith (SB).
2 fetchlands is plenty.

2 fetches are enough, 1 to fetch an island and 1 to fetch a mountain. Disks are still good even without Drains, but in an aggro heavy environment, add kegs to the board. Keg+disk practically ensures you will draw a creature sweeper within a few turns.

Thx for the comments, I'll add 2 fetches and 2 Keg/Propaganda and experiment some more. Now what should I leave out ...  |

3 Teferi's Response is a lot,
unless every other deck is packing
a full load of Wastelands and Sinkholes,
and the rest are running
Bolts, Stone Rain and Avalanche Riders.
I'd run three Stifle and one Response.
The fear of Response is more generally useful
than the few times you'll actually be casting it.
The other slot becomes a Powder Keg.
I'd be tempted to turn one of the Disks into a Keg as well.
Disk is really powered into play by the Mana Drains you don't have.
Your two fetches replace a Mountain and an Island.
