While there are some variations and exceptions, the colors generally fall into this pattern.
Green is about mana ramp, large scary creatures, and creating token creatures. Red is all about burn spells (similar to kill spells but usually do a set amount of damage rather than instantly removing a creature), land destruction, and destroying anything your opposition cares to play. White usually revolves around life gain, controlling the enemy’s creatures, and enchantments. These are the general themes of each color.īlue is about countering spells, trickery, drawing cards, and milling (causing cards from the top of your foe’s deck to go to their graveyard) the opposition.īlack is using about sacrificing creatures in order to devastate opponents, kill spells (which instantly remove creatures or other permanents), and reanimating cards in the graveyard. Know the colorsĮach of the five colors in Magic has a central theme and spell uses. The less mana your enemy has open, the less trickery and shenanigans they can perform. The same principle goes for the other colors too. If your enemy has all of their mana untapped, you might want to hold onto it. If your enemy doesn’t have any open mana or a way to produce mana, you can probably get away with that amazing card you want to play without having to worry about a counter spell. In order to avoid getting your ace cards countered, know the cost of the counter spells. If your enemy is playing with blue mana, it is generally a safe bet to assume they have some counter spells in their deck. Why? Well depending upon the color your enemy is using, you can save yourself a lot of grief. Watch the manaĪlways keep an eye on your open mana, as well as your opponent’s. This gives you option to play spells early and provided you draw into more mana, have access to the expensive spells later. If you have ways to mana ramp (get more mana quickly) in your deck, you could maybe start with only two in your opening hand. I generally have three mana in my opening hand for any deck. While you can draw into cards you need later in the game, you need a solid opening hand to tide you over until your clench cards or to keep your opposition at bay. Your opening hand can make or break your chances of winning.
Dear reader, use this knowledge well to dominate your opposition! Get a solid hand I am no expert, but I have seen some solid strategies in the time I have played.
