Frequently asked questions
What is Weatherlight's color identity?
Weatherlight 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.
What turn does Weatherlight come down, and how often does the deck get stuck?
In the average Weatherlight deck (the 99 most-included cards per EDHREC, 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 7 % of the time and floods 19 %. Deck health: B (70/100).
How many lands should a Weatherlight deck run?
Real Weatherlight 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.
