Frequently asked questions
What is Six's color identity?
Six is green: its deck can only run cards of that color plus colorless ones. Color identity comes from every mana symbol on the card, including those in the rules text, not just the casting cost.

In the average Six deck (the 99 most-included cards per EDHREC, with 40 lands), simulated 4,000 times, the commander comes down on turn 2.6 on average and is on the battlefield before turn 7 in 100 % of games. It misses at least one land drop in the first six turns 11 % of the time and floods 25 %. Deck health: C+ (59/100).
How many lands should a Six deck run?
Real Six decks run 40 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.
