Frequently asked questions
What is Starship Enterprise's color identity?
Starship Enterprise is colorless: its deck can only run colorless cards (artifacts, Eldrazi and colorless lands). Color identity comes from every mana symbol on the card, including those in the rules text, not just the casting cost.

In the average Starship Enterprise deck (the 99 cards most played with it, with 40 lands), simulated 4,000 times, the commander comes down on turn 3.9 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 6 % of the time and floods 3 %. Deck health: B (67/100).
How many lands should a Starship Enterprise deck run?
Real Starship Enterprise 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.
