You can have more, but it is generally considered best to have as few as possible, to reduce randomness. You want to minimize randomness in a good deck.A greater variety of colors means that you have a far greater chance of drawing cards that require a type of mana you don't have at the moment. By comparison, with a two-color deck you're fairly certain to be able to use any card you draw. See reducing randomness. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I lost track of the sets. Each set has between 100 and 350 cards, less or more. I don't know how much a booster pack costs, I guess more than 5$ but less than 10$.A card that gives you three mana of any color for free, one time only. Without going too much into the economics of mana in Magic, three colored for free, even if one time only, is stupid powerful. Newbie players often don't see this, though.Black Lotus was printed in the first two releases of the game and is now out of print. It can only be used in some tournament formats.</blockquote>
