Formula Reference

AMV = Sum(Cost_i × Count_i) / Total Non-Land Cards

Land Count = 19.5 × (deckSize/60) + 1.9 × AMV × (nonLands/deckSize)

Adjustments: Ramp cards reduce land need by 0.15 each. Cantrips add 0.1 land each. Fast lands (fetch/shock) reduce land need by 0.1 each. Multi-color decks add 0.5 lands per extra color above 2.
