Abstract: This paper presents a function that accurately simulates the probability of not missing any land drops within the first five turns for any unique deck. Analysis using the function found that the ability to mulligan and drawing an extra card help tremendously with getting consistent land drops. Additionally, the function can be used to get efficient ratios of land colors for multi-colored decks.
