Reference Tables

Probability references for Magic deckbuilding. Every number on these pages is an exact hypergeometric calculation computed when the site is built, not an approximation or a remembered figure, so you can check our working and cite the results.

• Mana Tables

  The classic reference. Land drop odds and coloured source requirements for 60 card and 40 card decks.

• Lands by Curve

  How many lands your deck actually needs, and why reliable land drops cost more than anyone can afford to pay.

• Drawing Your Cards

  When will you see that card? Odds for one-ofs through four-ofs, the redundancy a target really takes, and 40 card Limited decks.

• Pauper Mana Tables

  Commons-only mana bases, where every dual land enters tapped. Includes the tapped land tax and splash consistency.

• Commander Mana Tables

  99 card singleton maths, including the odds of ever finding a specific one-of.

For the reasoning behind the numbers rather than the numbers themselves, see How Many Lands Should You Play? and the rest of the articles. If you are not sure which format these apply to, start with MTG formats explained.
