As far as I know, there are no formats where your lands all start on the battlefield. Honestly, it'd probably be a pain to balance.
But thinking about that made me thing about this:
1) Each player builds a 63 card deck. Decks must consist of three basic land cards of any type, some number of nonland cards, and any number of Wastes.
2) Players may have a maximum of four copies of any nonland card.
3) At the start of the game, each player removes the basic land cards from their library and puts them into the command zone.
4) At any time, a player may exile a Wastes card from their hand to put a land card in their command zone into their hand.
5) If a non-Waste basic land card would be put into a graveyard or into exile from anywhere, its owner may put it into their command zone instead.
The idea here is that you have incredible control over the order of your land drops... but the majority of your mana is going to be colorless.
I think the banlist would include stuff like:
• Mana dorks.
• Mana rocks.
• Those Green auras that make lands tap for more than one mana.
• Realmwright, Joiner Adept, Overlaid Terrain, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, and Prismatic Omen
• Quicksilver Fountain, because it'd wreck everything.
Because those cards would defeat the whole point of having a constrained mana base.
