Mana fixing
Mana fixing refers to the process of ensuring that the correct lands or sources of mana are played in order to be used for the cards in one's hand. For instance, a Birds of Paradise can be used to ensure that a player has access to a color other than green (which was used to play the birds).[1][2][3][4]
