Having a small amount of spells and lands that deal with a specific color, but is a minority color-wise in comparison to the other color(s) that exist in a deck.
[edit] Mana curve
[edit] Figuring out the mana curve
- Add each spell's mana cost together, then divide by the amount of cards in the deck.
[edit] Mana distribution
[edit] Figuring out the mana distribution
- Add each spell's mana cost together to get A
- Add the possible mana production of each card to get B. (for example, if it produces C or D, add 1. If it produces CD, then add 2)
- Then divide by the amount of cards or lands in the deck.
