This is why you ALWAYS mulligan if you don't have 3 lands.

[DontMisunderstand]

23 cards deep into a 60 card deck with 24 lands. 2 lands in the opener, and 0 lands drawn for the entire match.

Alternatively you get a 3 land opening hand and then draw nothing but lands for the entire match. That actually just happened in a game, aside from one card, it was literally all lands. I had like 12 lands on the field and more in my hand.

Both happen honestly. And sometimes you get two lands and a hand of cheap spells and first draw is a land and everything goes swimmingly.

Aren't you the one who keeps arguing that this game isn't a scam?

Maybe because he can get a bad hand and not assume the devs rigged the game to give it to him?

For sure. The way I build decks though, a 3 land keep means I can play the game regardless of draws. I need a very specific opener on top of my opponent bricking to win with 2 lands out to turn 10. There's just a lot more you can do to nudge the odds into your favor with mana flood compared to mana screw.

Same, most of the cards that are actually strong if given the time/strategy are 3 mana cost, although there is a few dangerous 2 mana cost ones. Most of the 1-2 mana cost cards are more or less fodder or just support role for the big guns.

So it's not just you it's the mana balance curve. 1-3 mana is the setup and support or cannon fodder, 3+ is the stuff that's the win condition, generally.

I think the only exception is aggro red tbh because they just use a bunch of 1-2 mana cost stuff, but even aggro red will pull out 3-4 mana cost things if it suits their strategy.
