The night before Friday Night Magic you’re sitting at your kitchen table with your friends, arguing with them about which spells and what lands you should be putting in your constructed deck. One friend says: “No, you clearly need to take our your taplands - look at your curve, you’re too aggressive for them!”, while another says: “You need to keep those in to stay flexible and reach your high drops!” Who’s right in this situation? How would it be different if you were playing at a limited FNM with sealed and draft?
Mana curving and land base are both important parts of deckbuilding, and we’ll be covering them today in our second episode of Tolarian Tutor. Though we went over mana curve a bit in our first lesson, we’ll be taking a deeper dive this time and explore the intricacies of how curving and land base composition change in both limited and constructed formats.
