Is Rhystic Cave actually playable in cEDH manabases?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

I'm trying to get more red sources in the deck without adding more total lands and without losing blue sources. Rhystic Cave seems like a good pain-free option.

1 is a very cheap counter spell that counters whatever a person is planning on doing. And with 3 other players someone will have 1 mana open.

The bot agrees with you, and I already suspected that. I probably won't run it in my deck. I already have Mana Confluence and Command Tower and Path to Ancestry and Orchard.

Thanks for reply.

Do you have a decklist posted somewhere. Id have a look incase I can come up with something.

[SeekerOfTruth007]

It's pretty optimized now. I'll look through it and post the list here, I guess.

Maybe something like scryfall.com/.../rush-of-inspiration-crackling-falls
It adds some color fixing in a spell slot that also does some looting. 3 mana is a bit high in cedh but mdfc are a great way no upset a mana balance in a deck.
