TPKATSA'S Easy Magic Tips for 60-card creature-based decks Make your deck strategy simple and quick to play Run 20-22 mana-producing lands Basic lands are generally best — and fastest Have relatively few creatures (no more than 4 or 5) that cost 5 or more mana to cast Include mana ramp e.g. Sol Ring or Seething Song, for creatures that cost 6 or more to cast Dedicate at least 6 non-creature cards to defense/removal Tribal is especially good when playing White but can also be effective in other colors Build your deck so that you can act on each of the first 4 or 5 turns Get a creature "in the air" (i.e. flying) quickly Non-creature cards that cost 4 or more mana should be decisive Count planeswalkers as non-creature cards unless they generate creatures Play a creature on turn 1, or play a strong creature on turn 2 (e.g. 2/2 First Strike) Cheap but effective instants such as Run Amok and Brave the Elements help push your creatures through In a two-player game, if you're not winning by turn 5 or 6, you're probably not winning Understand the concept of the spell stack in Magic — last in, first out!

Common useful abilities: Vigilance — Creatures can attack when it's your turn and block when it isn't Trample — Extra damage carries through to opponent Flying — Only creatures with flying or reach can block First Strike — Do damage before creatures without first strike Double Strike — Do first strike and regular damage Haste — Attack on the turn entering the battlefield References: Comprehensive Rules Basic Rulebook Wizards Gatherer MTG Wiki Scryfall TCG Player Star City Games Bonesplitter v.

What type of player are you? While I'm a collector first, I'm also a vintage Timmy with a penchant towards efficiency and mana economy. I love playing classic, iconic creatures that have been popular since the 1990s. Like the Elven Court Bow, these decks are more works of art than weapons of war — but they still can win!
