Hi everyone!! I'm trying to build an As Nausem combo deck, and I need tips for the mana base. The way the deck works is: cast Angels grace(I can't lose the game this turn for any reason this turn) and Ad Nauseam(reveal a card from the top of my library and put it in my hand, I lose life equal to its CMC. I may repeat this process any umber of times.), to draw my entire deck. I en discard 3 simian spirit guides and cast lightning Storm( discard X lands, deal 2X+3 damage to target player. With my entire deck in my hand, X is an absurdly large number. I have pact of negation to counter any counters, and slaughter pact to deal with any creatures which may be of annoyance. The deck list goes:
1 Boseju, who shelters all
1 Gemstone Caverns
2 Temple of Enlightenment
2 Temple of Deceit
1 Seachrome Coast
1 Watery Grave
1 Hallowed Fountain
2 Scalding Tarn
2 Marsh Flats
1 Island
1 Swamp
1 Plains
4 Gemstone Mine

4 Simian Spirit Guide

1 Lightning storm
1 Conjurer's Bauble
1 Mystical Teachings
1 slaughter pact
3 Pact of Negation
4 Serum Visions
4 Sleight of Hand
2 Peer Through Depths
4 Lotus Bloom
4 Pentad Prism
3 Phyrexian Unlife
4 Angel's Grace
4 Ad Nauseam

Sideboard
3 Hurlyl's recall
3 Leyline of Sanctity
1 Drown in Sorrow
1 Silence
1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
1 Patrician's Scorn
1 Echoing Truth
1 Tormod's Crypt
1 Phyrexian Unlife
1 Tolaria West
1 Slaughter Pact

I'm looking for tips on how to make e manabase cheaper. I'm solid on the spells and sideboard, but I want to know how the lands could be cheaper without sacrificing the decks power and speed? Thanks!

Ad nauseam doesn't win from having a cheap mana base. Playing lands that come into play tapped doesn't work for a deck like this. I have a vintage build of this deck, although legacy style is the more popular build due to being able to play 4 lions eye diamond and 4 brainstorm but I built one that works alright for Vintage.

Blue

1 Brainstorm
4 Pact of Negation
1 Ponder
1 Mystical Tutor
1 Flusterstorm
1 Ancestral Recall (Proxy)
1 Time walk (Proxy)

Black

1 Demonic Tutor
1 Vampiric Tutor
4 Ad Nauseam
3 Tendrils of Agony
1 Demonic Consultation
4 Dark Ritual
4 Cabal Ritual
1 Yawgmoth's Bargain
1 Necropotence

Artifact

1 Mana Crypt
1 Mana Vault
1 Lotus Petal
1 Sol Ring
1 Lion's Eye Diamond
1 Mox Opal
4 Chrome Mox
4 Mox Diamond
1 Black Lotus (Proxy)
1 Mox Jet (Proxy)
1 Mox Sapphire (Proxy)

Land

4 Underground Sea
4 Polluted Delta
4 City of Traitors
1 Tolarian Academy


Many of the 1 ofs are because they are restricted for Vintage play. Still not a cheap deck to build even with power proxies.
