Magic The Gathering: The Best Colorless Lands

thegamer.com:

Lands are among the most important cards within a player's deck in Magic: The Gathering. In addition to being a player's primary source of mana, lands can offer a wide range of abilities that can help give their controller an additional edge for little to no cost without taking up the slot of a spell in a player's deck.

While many colors have access to their potent lands, there is a wide range of incredible lands that produce colorless mana (or lands that don't produce mana at all), meaning they can be included in decks of any color. As many of these colorless-based lands are among the most powerful lands to ever see print, we're going to see which are the best.

For those looking to make use of the hyper-aggressive Infect mechanic, Inkmoth Nexus is a must-have. Entering the battlefield untapped and capable of producing one colorless mana if tapped, it can be used offensively in Infect decks. For the cost of one mana, Inkmoth Nexus becomes a 1/1 creature with flying and infects until the end of the turn, allowing a player to afflict their opponents with additional poison counters. In addition to serving as an evasive Infect-toting threat, as Inkmoth Nexus returns to simply being a land at the end of a given turn, it can be harder for opponents to remove than a traditional creature.

Gemstone Caverns is a great option for those looking to potentially maximize the potency of their first turn in a game, seeing play within Modern and cEDH. While this land can normally be tapped to produce one colorless mana, if this card is within its owner's opening hand, that player may reveal it, starting the game with this card in play with a luck counter on it.
