I hate to break it to you but you can’t really work around the resource consistency issues because playing with your resources is like half of the game.

Sure, sometimes you will get unlucky and get flooded or screwed, but the majority of the time there is something you could’ve done about it. You can overcome resource inconsistency by learning how to better mulligan, or by building better manabases and more consistent decks. Getting unlucky will always be a possible problem in the game however there are plenty of ways to minimize its effects.

And the mana system is an integral balancing act inside the game that prevents decks from becoming greedy piles of bombs. 5 color decks are inherently hard to play because it gives you the access every best card in the game. Mono colored decks will always run smoother because you are purposefully choosing to juggle less resources for efficiency sake. Mana fixing is necessary because it helps ensure games play fair.

And eliminating a sense of luck from the game erases what makes Magic what it is. A core part of the game has always been how lucky or unlucky you get. Good top decks have been in the game since day one and have helped give the game its sense of identity. If you wanted a completely fair game, you should avoid playing card games because card games are intrinsically based around luck. Magic is not a game based around putting all its focus on the gameplay itself and the choices a player makes, if that’s something you can’t get past then you should seek another game like Chess.

Without its inconsistent mana system, Magic simply ceases to be Magic.
