I'm only running two grand abolishers and it works nicely, I feel like too many more than that mainboard might waste slots for other good cards you may want to put in

Valid point but if you're anything like me I have a terrible time pulling a card if I only have two or fewer copies. My decks require 3 and 4 of's to ensure I get the card I need

I often have that problem with too much mana lol

I guess I should've only been running like 22-23 lands instead of 24

Validan

Sometimes 22 seems like its too much lol but we are getting off track

Greg54js

We're not that far off.. It still has some relevance to the deck

Bernardcs

Mana is essential as well.
You guys help me a lot.
Thanks.

I'd say this is all on track.  Land count really comes down to things like mana curve and how the deck plays.  On a spectrum, 19 lands are usually monocolored aggro decks with lots of low casting costs.  White Weenie and goblins, for example, don't want to draw much land once they have 3-4 on the table.  Maxing out at 24 are control strategies where you are holding back and playing removal on your opponents turn.  Here, you don't want to miss your land drop for the turn so that you can play your bombs as early as possible.

     There is more to it, but there are resources out there if you look.  :)  Typically, unless you have good reason to deviate, stay around 21-22 land and you should be fine.

Just arrived:
4 x {Elite Inquisitor}
1 x {Champion of the Parish}
2 x {Mirran Crusader}
2 x {Honor of the Pure}
1 x {Grand Abolisher}
1 x {Hero of Bladehold}

Should I use any of them?
