how many lands in a 40 card deck mtg The Math of Manabases Magic the Gathering: Commander | by the Schulze Magic: The Gathering -Your first

Of course, I think Yugioh with its overblown creature numbers is a bit much, but we arent here to listen to me talk about Yugioh (You all made THAT abundantly clear)

But then I read somewhere (I think it might have been a Q&A with someone from Wizards on something like Reddit) someone pointed out how miserable it would be to play against a non-fixed Pharika-attack with a creature, Pharika makes a snake to block, the snakes deathtouch kills the attacking creature, and now theres another creature in the graveyard to make another snake to kill the next creature that attacks

It is finally safe to leave the deck development phase without Field of Ruin, opening a spot for another utility land
