Rhythmik Study: We Require More Minerals!
Posted on August 2, 2010 by Jeph Foster
This may appear on the next half of your article, but just thought I’d give my two cents.
One very important resource in any game of Magic is information. Knowing your own deck thoroughly allows you to play to your outs and conserve another resource (in competitive magic): time. Knowing what is in your opponents’ decks greatly dictate your actions, as you mention a bit in your mana section. For example, while it is good to try and maximize the use of your mana especially during the early turns of a game, playing against an opponent who you know is using spells such as force spike and mana leak require you to play around them or think about the consequences of not playing around them.
Also, in your cards section, you don’t mention mulligans and I thought it would be helpful if you talk about that in your next section!
Interesting and helpful read for those who may not think about the game in this way.
Good article, glad to see you tackle the opportunity costs associated with aspects of the game.
