How many lands, ramp and draw do Kess, Dissident Mage decks run?
We counted 17 public Kess, Dissident Mage decks on Moxfield, using the same code EDHTuner runs on your deck. The decks were collected in July 2026. That is a small count, so a median here can sit a card or two away from what a bigger count would show.
Compared with all decks, Kess, Dissident Mage decks run more targeted disruption (15 against 10) and fewer lands (29 against 34).
The first number in each row is the median for these decks, and the range after it covers the middle half of them. The last column is the median across all 10,794 decks we counted.
