What percentage of MTG is luck?

I would estimate that an average game of magic is decided to 20\% by luck of the draw, 35\% deck matchup and 45\% playing skill. For a match (best two games out of three) the numbers become 5\% luck of the draw, 40\% deck matchup and 55\% playing skill. That wound up a lot longer than I planned. Hope it helps.
