Questions & Answers

FAQ

How should I choose lands for Azorius?

Match your early colored spells, lands you own and purchase budget. Compare entry conditions and usable sources; no named land is mandatory in every deck.

How many lands should a Azorius deck run?

Use 36–40 as a starting range, then test your curve, extra draws and ramp. Land count alone does not establish the chance of casting a particular spell.

Do fetch lands help Azorius?

They can fix colors when legal targets are available and support landfall or shuffle effects. Check the searched land types, entry timing and payments; there is no fixed fetch quota tied to budget.
