If you would, I have a method for you to use, which may be cut down to 2 hours, but that will weaken it a little bit!
The advanced version DOES take about 14 hours.

ive spent way more time then that tuning a deck as a whole. just working on mana, i have a few tat prolly fall into that. I constantly tune and adjust decks for various reasons, but i loove to build, test, tune, and re-test. a deck is never "finished" to me
:For autocarding, write [ c ] card name [ / c ]
You can also do [*c=lightning bolt]'Bolt[/c*] to get 'Bolt
sigged because I always forget to do it

14 hours on just a manabase seems a bit paranoid/OCD to be honest.
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Thanks Wotc for not counting archived posts.
If I post without capital letters than means I'm posting from my phone. For some reason it hates typing capital letters.

If it's a computer program that takes 14 hours, then that sounds great. It seems hard to define what makes mana perfect, though.

I spend about 15 minutes working on the mana base, though most of the time is finding the lands i need. I use a formula were % of mana cost colors = % of lands that produce those colors. Works great and takes about 5 minutes to count everything up.
If it takes 14 hours, then your doing something wrong.

I'd spend 10 minutes at first.
After that I'd fix it as I play test.
14 hours though? No thanks. At that point you should start optimizing your time instead of your mana base.

There are enough multi-color lands in the game to create an efficient manabase for any deck. If it takes more than an hour to create a manabase for your deck, you're trying to do something crazy like play Seismic Assault  , Mind Over Matter  and Phyrexian Obliterator  in the same deck.

It's taken me a few weeks to decide on my manabase for my mono-black deck: 2x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth  3x Lake of the Dead  12x Swamp  It's a very agreesive, almost exclusively black manacost deck. The highest manacost is 3, so don't even start about how Lake of the Dead kills my lands.
