Frequently asked questions
What is Missy's color identity?

It misses at least one land drop in the first six turns 21 % of the time and floods 1 %. Deck health: B (72/100).
How many lands should a Missy deck run?
Real Missy decks run 36 lands on average. That is a starting point, not a rule: a lower curve can shave one or two, big-mana builds want more. The EDH Optimizer simulator tells you, over 10,000 games, how often you get mana screwed or flooded with your exact count.
