Mana base
How many lands of each color do you need to cast your spells on time?
Deck size
| Color symbols | Turn 1 | Turn 2 | Turn 3 | Turn 4 | Turn 5 | Turn 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ({R}) | 16 | 15 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 |
| 2 ({R}{R}) | 27 | 24 | 22 | 20 | 18 | 17 |
| 3 ({R}{R}{R}) | 35 | 32 | 29 | 26 | 24 | 22 |
Example: a 60-card deck that wants {1}{R} on turn 2 needs the number in the first row, under Turn 2. A land that makes two of your colors counts for both. Exact math (hypergeometric) with a 7-card hand and no mulligans: a guide, not a guarantee.
