A land every turn

Chance to play a land on each turn up to that one: at least one land by turn 1, two by turn 2, and so on.

35 lands in the 100 cards of the deck.

Teval, the Balanced Scale decks play 35.3 lands on average, all Commander decks 27.3 (last 90 days).

Casting on curve

For each spell of the deck: chance to have, on the turn equal to its mana value, that many lands and enough lands of its colors. Hybrid and Phyrexian symbols don’t count; other mana sources (creatures, artifacts) neither.

Simulation

Goals on different turns, all together, like two lands by turn 2 and a removal spell by turn 3: 20,000 games played turn by turn. 22 cards of the deck have effects the simulation uses (see the table of cards).

How the games are played

With a deck, the cards that change what you see work as their Oracle text says, read from Scryfall: scry and surveil, draws, looking at the top cards and taking one, searching the library, cycling, mana from artifacts and creatures (creatures from the next turn). Each turn: draw, play the land that helps a goal most (lands make their colors, Urza’s lands 7 mana together, lands that enter tapped from the next turn), then spend the mana: cast a card a goal asks to cast, search for a missing card, look at the top cards, the cheapest scry and draw cards, abilities that draw, cycling. Colors are checked. Scry keeps on top the cards of the goals still open, the nearest turn first, then lands if you need more. Other spells don’t use mana, so the result is a little optimistic. The opponent acts at the start of the chosen turn of yours: it destroys the land you need most, or makes you discard the nonland card you need most.
