Tagging in here, I started building decks with 26+ lands in order to stop the mana ***** of the hand smoother, and I STILL open with and mulligan to 2 land hands a surprising number of times. I should be experiencing 3-5 land hands on the regular but I don't. In real life 23 lands is usually sufficient for the midrange piles I like to build, but on arena it makes the deck completely unplayable.
On the other hand, my limited experience is different. In regular drafts my mana generally is fine. There's more mana *****/flood games than I'd like, but it's not too far off of an expectation for a random sample and I almost always get 4-7 wins, usually 5+. In quick draft though? I routinely get shafted on lands- either I draw all of one color with only spells of the other color, or I never see a third land. I almost never win more than 1 game in a quick draw match, and it is definitely not a skill issue. It is maddening.
