How many lands, ramp and draw do Shalai and Hallar decks run?
We counted 13 public Shalai and Hallar 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, Shalai and Hallar decks run less card advantage (6 against 9) and fewer lands (30 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.
