In the average Molecule Man deck (the 99 cards most played with it, with 35 lands), simulated 4,000 times, the commander comes down on turn 4.6 on average and is on the battlefield before turn 7 in 95 % of games. It misses at least one land drop in the first six turns 11 % of the time and floods 11 %. Deck health: B+ (77/100).
How many lands should a Molecule Man deck run?
Real Molecule Man decks run 35 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.
