60 cards, no less for standard play. You can add more, but why would you want to dilute your chances of drawing your best cards?

Honestly, sticking to 60 cards in your deck is like following a sacred rule in MTG. It's all about that balance and consistency. I've dabbled with more, and let me tell ya, it throws off the vibe. Not worth it.

The magic number for a standard deck in Magic The Gathering (MTG) is 60 cards. But remember, that's the minimum. You can technically have more, but most players stick to 60 to keep their deck efficient and consistent. The rule of thumb is: the fewer the cards, the higher the chance of drawing what you need. Plus, in formats like Commander, you're looking at a 100-card deck – but that's a whole different ball game!
