How many 2-3 drops should a MTG limited deck have?
In a typical MTG limited deck, aiming for about 9 to 12 creatures in the 2 to 3 drops range is a solid choice. This ensures you've got a good curve, allowing you to consistently play creatures in the early game. Remember, balance is key! Too few, and you might find yourself without plays in the early turns. Too many, and you risk running out of steam against decks with stronger late-game plays.

8-10, max. Anything more and you're just asking to be overrun by any deck with a decent late game. Keep it lean and efficient.
From my experience, 10 is the magic number for 2-3 drops in a limited deck. Keeps the deck fast and lets you apply pressure early on!
Honestly, it depends on your deck's strategy, but 10-12 two and three drops combined usually works great. If your deck is more aggressive, lean towards more 2 drops. For a slower, control-type deck, a few more 3 drops can really help stabilize your game.
