40 is the minimum but listen, flexibility is key. If you've got a super consistent deck, stick to 40. If you're not feeling as confident, adding a few extra cards won't hurt. But remember, more cards = less consistency.

In a Magic The Gathering draft, your deck needs to be at least 40 cards. People usually stick to that minimum to increase the chances of drawing their best cards. Don't forget to add about 17 lands to that number, depending on your deck's mana curve!

40 cards, no more, no less. That's the golden rule. Adding more just messes with your odds.
