Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Today we are going to talk about Magic the Gathering Deck Building. We would discuss about the methodology of building a deck of your own that suits your strategies and style. So we are not giving deck examples here, but focus on how to build your very own deck. As I said there are infinite number of types of deck one can build, so the aim of this article is to give the reader a glimpse of the vast ocean of Magic the Gathering decks.
A Magic The Gathering Deck can hold up to 200 cards or as little as 60 cards. By simple mathematics, we know that there are so many ways to build a deck that we can spend the whole life building decks without creating 2 same ones. However, there is only one aim that is to win and not to lose. But how can I win a Magic game?
The first way of course is to damage the other players until his life drops to 0. The second method is to cause the other players library run out of cards. This method is not very common due to the difficulty and the limit card choices which can help achieve this. The third one is to poison the other players. Every player has a poison counter if they are poisoned. If the counter goes above 10, the player dies. This method is even more unrealistic because 10 poison counter is very difficult to get. Each planeswalker has 20 life counters. Creatures have power from 0 to 12, plus some X amount. But when you poison the opponents, you can only increase his counter 1 at a time. Not even 1 spell is able to increase poison counters. This method is not regarded as very practical.
In conclusion, the first method (reducing life counters to 0 or less) is the main focus.To reduce opponent's life counters to 0 or less, there are 4 methods: First, damaging player directly. But this is not the best method, since there're usually many creatures on the Battlefield and even counting in Enchantment, there're only a small 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 used and basically only available to Blue Mana, is to make your opponent run out of his Magic cards.
Here I introduced four different ways to win. You can choose your favourite one or you can choose a few and build a deck according to your strategy.
