Topic: [Standard] Sidisi Whip. Needing help with the mana base.

Here is the bare bones of the deck as I have it, just having a problem calculating out the proper mana ratio.

1x Soul of Innistrad
3x Elvish Mystic
1x Nylea, God of the Hunt
2x Hornet Queen
4x Nemesis of Mortals
3x Nighthowler
4x Satyr Wayfinder
3x Sidisi, Brood Tyrant
1x Phareka, God of Affliction

3x Hero's Downfall
4x Murderous Cut
4x Commune with the Gods
2x Whip of Erebos

What I have for the lands is
3x Forest
1x Island
3x Swamp
4x Polluted Delta
2x Lanowar Wastes
4x Opulent Palace
4x Temple of Malady

I have also considered adding a Sagu Mauler and taking out 1 Caryatid since there is a lot of mana fixing (7 + the full playset of Wayfinders). Sideboard is another issue, but I think I can nail it down after I figure out my mana base. Suggestions on the deck and mana base are appreciated. Thanks!

4 fetches to 4 basics usually isn't desirable... also, if you have a card in your deck, you need to be able hard cast it and I don't thin you can cast hornets with your current base reliably... i know that's not the "plan" but sometimes the plan doesn't always work.

21 lands is way too few with only 3 dorks, (really even if you had 10 dorks for this kind of deck), i think 23 should be minimum

you probably want some number of yavimaya coasts... and a full set of wastes.

I would copy the manabase from any SCG Open and Grand Prix deck lists you can find.  Those guys have done so much testing, they'll have the correct ratios.  Even if you hate net decking, copying the manabase makes sense.
