In this article we are going to discuss magic the gathering deck building. We would discuss in regards to the methodology of building a deck of your own that suits your schemes and style.
So we are not giving deck examples here, but focus on in what manner to build your very own deck. As i said there are infinite number of types of deck one can build, so the intention of this article is to give the reader a glance of the huge ocean of magic the gathering decks.
One can employ a lot of magic the gathering cards to build up one deck. And there can be as galore types of magic deck as the stars in the sky, notwithstanding the goal is common – to beat your opposing planeswalkers before they beat you.
To win, you ought to first recognise in what manner to lose. The most common and normal way to win is to reduce your opponent’s life to 0 or fewer. Another method is to drain opponent’s library so that he has no cards to draw. But this method can only be employed with a number of exceptional decks and greatly blue cards (in addition as galore artifacts).
The last method is to increment opponent’s poison counters to 10 or above. But there are not too galore toxic creatures and most of them are very weak. Moreover, 10 poison counters is a bit too demanding.
Every player has 20 life counters. Creatures’ power and toughness range from 0/1 to 12/12 even x/x, while every poison attack hits poison counters with 1 point only plus there is no spell that can increase opponent’s poison counters. Accordingly, this method can be ignored essentially.
In conclusion, the first method (reducing life counters to 0 or fewer) is the main focus.
To reduce opponent’s life counters to 0 or fewer, there are 4 methods:
first, damaging player directly. But this is not the most skillful method, since there’re ordinarily galore creatures on the battlefield and even counting in enchantment, there’re only a little number of spells exist that can hit player directly.
Second, attacking opponent with creatures in order to reduce one’s life counters.
Third, control opponent so that he can’t work with his cards or can’t beat you.
The last method, which is rarely employed and essentially only available to blue mana, is to make your opponent run out of his magic cards.
Even though there’re 4 different methods, in regards to combat, ordinarily a combining of those instead of one are employed.
