Nonbasic lands are lands that do not have the basic supertype. As per Magic rules, only 4 of each nonbasic land can be in a deck at any one time.
Can you have more than 4 special lands?
Nope the only cards that you are allowed to have more than 4 of are the 5 basic lands, their snow counterparts in a format where they are legal and any card that has a static ability that allows you to have more (currently only relentless rats). For everything else you can only have 4 of each.
How many special lands can you have in a Commander deck?
As a general rule of thumb, you want somewhere between 33 and 42 lands in a Commander deck. Naturally, you want as many special lands as you can find. Lands that generate more than one colour of mana or that have special abilities are always a great shout.
Can you have multiple special lands in a Commander deck?
in sanctioned formats, you’re allowed to run up to 4 of any legal card. the exception to this rule are the basic lands, that you can have as many as you want. so, you’re allowed to run up to 4 of a given non basic land in regular magic, and just 1 of that same land in a commander deck.

How many lands do you need in a normal deck?
Abnormal decks (with huge numbers of accelerators) will run as few as 32 lands (the equivalent of running about 13 in a 40-card limited deck), but I’d recommend starting around 40 and cutting around one land per three accelerators (if you’re trying to cut land, and not running very high-cost spells).
How many of a legendary land in a deck?
Two is the typical number of legendary lands of a single name in a deck. Sometimes there are only singletons, but for consistency’s sake, two is a good choice. Three means a higher likelyhood for the extras sitting stagnant in your hand. And nobody wants dead cards in their hand. We would all do well do heed your words and really think about them.
How many lands should I have in my 30 card sealed deck?
Some people reduce by one land per mana/land-generating spell, others say one land per two spells – however, this is usually to a minimum of 15-16 lands in 40-card and 11 lands in 30-card (11 is very uncommon). So what’s the magic number for a 30-card sealed deck? – JSBձոգչ Oct 3 ’11 at 13:53
When do you not need land drops in a deck?
If your deck doesn’t need much mana to run, missing land drops won’t be as big of a problem, if you’re playing something like Dragons which tend to be expensive, you’ll need to get your mana base set up pretty quickly and can’t afford to miss as many land drops too early on.
