How many lands do I need in Magic The Gathering?
Honestly, it depends on your deck, but 24 is a solid number for beginners. If your deck has a bunch of high-cost cards, you might want to bump that number up a bit though.

17. Trust me, I've played decks with only 17 lands and dominated. It's all about having the right balance of spells to lands.
24 lands are a safe bet for most decks, but always adjust based on your playtest results. If you're always mana starved, add more. If you're drowning in lands, cut a few. Playtesting is key!
A good starting point is to have about 40% of your deck consist of lands. So for a standard 60-card deck, that's around 24 lands. But this can vary depending on your deck's strategy. Aggro decks might go lower to push more creatures into play, while control decks might have a bit more to ensure they hit their land drops each turn.
