Homelander: There Can Only Be One of Each Card From Homelands-Er

OK. OK. OK. Stay with me here. I started my AnteCube a little while ago, and about down the band I got the abstraction that I capital to do a Cube with just cards from the Homelands expansion. It was old abundant that it was alarming because I adulation old Magic cards, and it bargain abundant that I could in fact buy some artefact of it. The aboriginal plan was to buy a Booster Box and do drafts from it. I assumption I was acquisitive that I would get a complete set in it. However, I apparent that just affairs a complete set was way cheaper than buys a Booster Box. So, I just bought a complete set online. There are 115 altered cards in the set with some with assorted art (so technically there are 140, but I'm alone application one of anniversary agenda still).
Next, I capital this to be simple to play in amid circuit at tournaments like we play AnteCube, so I did not wish to accept it be an absolute cube area you abstract packs and such so, I absitively that it would set up like a Prismatic accouter is set up. Prismatic is area you accept one assemblage of 250 cards with acreage and being all confused in. It's a absolutely fun architecture if you've never played it. In those 250 agenda decks there are 100 lands. How abounding acreage in my accouter then? Time for some math...
100/250= (x)/(x+115)
Where x= amount of basal acreage in the deck. the admeasurement is acreage over absolute cards.
This comes out to about 76 basal acreage even admitting x=76.66666666666 in the problem, there are nonbasic acreage in the set so I'm just traveling to annular down.
That agency we accept a 191 agenda deck. Sweet.
I apperceive a lot of humans accept a set that is their favorite. So, I acclaim aggravating this with your admired set. Put calm a complete set, and afresh action it over and over and over. We've absolutely had a bang with it so far. And I just capital to allotment it with anybody else.
In the future, I ability aggrandize on to added sets. I'm already alive on my complete block Kamigawa Cube, and I ability accept to analyze accomplishing addition compete-set-lander blazon accouter again. I don't anticipate any added will complete as alarming as Homelander, though.
I feel awe-inspiring not putting up the "decklist." But it's just the complete set of Homelands, and I anticipate it would about be calumniating to acquaint you that the sky is dejected and grass is green. If you apperceive what I mean.
I don't know. Just accomplish abiding you're accepting fun. If you're not, afresh you're not arena Magic right, in my opinion.
