Players can bring their own lands to a limited tournament. That means 1 land station would be sufficient for 11 players.

A land station has, if I googled correctly, 400 lands - 80 of each color. That means if you calculate 7 per color per player, that would be enough. Sealed Deck are usualy at least two color decks, running around 14 lands. Quote from LimDul79 »I think it's quite difficult to answer. If they are anything like me, they'll have hundreds if not thousands of unused basics per type lying around collecting dust. If there are any long time players, you could also just ask them for a donation of basics. (Note, that foil basics are part of the Sealed card pool and should remain with the player.)Īnd if worst comes to worst, you can proxy unused basic lands as the basics you need, simply by writing the nessessary basic land on it with a marker. You could announce beforehand, that those lands should be gathered and made available for deck building. So there will be N*6 additional basic lands available, where N is the number of players you'll have. Nowadays, each booster also comes with a basic land.

If you expect significantly more players, a second land station, or at least another 100-card pack of basic lands, will likely be nessessary. So unless you expect to have about that many or more players, a single land station will be enough. Even half of the players all playing the same color combination is already very unlikely. They will average out the more players there are. A 400-land land box will thus suffice for about 16 players in raw numbers. So I'd say plan for 20-25 lands per player. Some players may also take a few more lands for tinkering and splashes. And it's not always an even split either, something like 7/10 is also well within reason. And less experienced players may play something like a 45 card deck with 19 lands. 14 lands per deck is way to few, players who know what they are doing will usually run about 17 lands in their 40 card decks.
