Lands

You should have between 35-42 lands in your deck, though it is HIGHLY recommended you stick to 38 until you play test the deck many times.

Untapped lands

Roughly 2/3 of your lands should enter untapped. For 38 lands, that’s roughly 25(+/-4). This includes basic lands.

Tapped Lands

Mana Lands

Utility Lands (some may produce color)

Thematic Cards

This is the roughly ~29 cards left for the decks strategy. While you should try to fill the above slots with cards that synergies with the deck, these last cards are far less restricted. If you want one of these effects consistently, run 7-10 versions of the same effect to reliably get it.
