The unfortunate part in commander is that the math just doesn't work out all that well. For example, we play 38 lands out of 98 cards. By Turn 4 say we have drawn 7+4 cards, 4 of them being lands, leaving 34 lands out of 87 cards ~= 39% land chance. In the best case where all 4 lands were fetchs this gives us 30/83 = 36% land chance which is not much of a difference. However if we extend this example to this deck where we are potentially fetching 8-10 times by turn 6 we can easily get our land chance below 25%, meaning our top decks will be significantly better.\n\nCrop Rotation is a land"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Turn 2 cast "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Crop Rotation"}},{"insert":" sac a land.

More deck thinning!\n"}]}
