Well, they're prime, of course! Three prime mana values and prime quantities of copies of cards in them. It's perfect! With 69 nonland cards in our deck, that leaves us with room for 31 lands--which is also a prime number! Everything that exists in this deck is specifically placed to keep this theme! There's even more that I'll leave for you to discover.\n\nWith thematics out of the way, how does this deck work? The theme doesn't mean anything if the deck isn't functional.
