Frequently asked questions
What is The Vision's color identity?
The Vision 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 The Vision deck (the 99 cards most played with it, with 37 lands), simulated 4,000 times, the commander comes down on turn 3.2 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 13 %. Deck health: B+ (77/100).
How many lands should a The Vision deck run?
Real The Vision decks run 37 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.
