Part 1: Scrying Lands, Mana Confluence and the pain lands
I assume Khans of Tarkir is a set with 5 more allied lands, I also assume the popularity will remain the same for muti-color decks( Jund, Junk, UW, RG, WR etc). Then the scrying lands will still be a must have part of mana base unless the set after Khans releases and adds more mana fixing lands into Standard. Comparing to scrying lands, Mana Confluence is in a position much harder to predict. 21 mana fixing are currently available and 10 will leave with RTR block after rotation. We've just assume 5 will be added but it's not 100% sure. If we don't have fixing in Khan, Mana Confluence will spike up, even if we have 5 in Khan, still, the demand for Mana Confluence will exceed its supply when players rush to draft Khan. After all, 5 color land is more versatile in mana base than enemy pain lands from M15. Those pain lands plus Mana Confluence signify an urge to collect Courser of Kruphix. I think even the next Standard looks slower but 1 damage will still matter for most serious games.
I will start collecting scrying lands but I am not sure it's a good time to collect Mana Confluence, maybe 10 -20 copies doesn't matter much.
