How many land cards should a 60-card MTG deck have?
Generally, a good starting point for a 60-card MTG deck is about 24 land cards. This gives you a solid chance of drawing the lands you need to cast your spells consistently. However, the exact number can vary depending on your deck's strategy and the average mana cost of your spells. Aggressive decks might go as low as 20 lands, while control decks could have up to 26 or 27.

24 lands. No more, no less. Perfect balance.
Honestly, just play with the number until it feels right. Start with 24 and adjust from there. You'll know if you need more or less once you play more games.
Depends on your deck. Aggro? Cut down to 20. Control or high mana curve? Push it up to 26. Played a deck with 19 lands once; it was a wild ride but wouldn't recommend.
