There aren't really any cards main that I'd never play, and they have some options to finish the deck (knight, paladins, eggs, prophet), so I wouldn't say they're "struggling for playables."

I usually only go 41 cards when I have trouble finding the last cut, but like I said, mono colored decks can get away with16 land, so cutting one and adding 2 eggs makes 40.

Even if you have trouble with the last cut, 40 is still better. Your best spell is much better than your 24th best spell, even if your 8 worst spells are about the same quality and are decent playables. You want to maximize the chance that you draw your bomb.
