What this MTG deck analyzer checks
A great Magic deck is more than a pile of good cards — it’s the right balance of cards. Our free deck analyzer reads every card in your list from the Scryfall database and measures the things that actually decide whether a deck runs smoothly: your mana base, your curve, and how much ramp, card advantage and interaction you’re packing. It works for Commander / EDH decklists and for 60-card lists, and you can paste straight from Moxfield, Archidekt, MTG Arena, or MTGO exports.
Mana curve
The curve shows how many nonland spells you play at each mana value (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7+). A curve that’s too top-heavy means slow, clunky starts; one that’s too low can run out of impact late. Most decks want a hump around 2–4 mana with a few expensive payoffs.
Color balance & average mana value
The color breakdown counts how many cards lean on each color, which helps you tune your lands and fixing so you reliably cast what you draw. Average mana value is a quick health check on speed — a typical Commander deck lands somewhere around 3, lower for aggressive builds.
Ramp, card draw, removal & board wipes
These four counts are where most decks win or lose. For a 100-card Commander deck the common rule of thumb is roughly 36–38 lands, 10+ ramp sources, 8–12 card-draw pieces, 8–12 targeted removal spells, and 3–5 board wipes. The analyzer counts each from card text and flags exactly where you’re short, so you know what to add.

How to read the results
Green means a category is in range, amber means it’s low and worth shoring up. The counts are an automated, heuristic read of card text — a fast starting point, not a final verdict — and categories can overlap (a card that draws and ramps counts in both). Use the flags to guide your edits, then test and iterate.
