Eric's Deck Making Tips #2

Tip # 2 - Use 4 copies of as many cards as you can (Beginner Tip) (Constructed Format)

A lot of beginning players fall into the trap of playing with lots of single copies of cards in their decks.  This can happen because players want to be able to play with all of the cool cards they own.  Who wouldn't?  But winning can also be fun, so be strict with yourself and use up to 4 copies of each card you want in your deck.  This has the effect of making your deck much more consistent.  Also, keep in mind these other good guidelines when making your Magic the Gathering deck.

• Deck Size:  Make sure your deck is 60 cards max.
  
• Land Count: Your deck should contain 24 lands or other cheap mana producing cards.
• Creature Count: Most decks are creature based and should have around 25-30 creatures
• Creature Removal: Make sure to have at least a few cards, 4 or more, that can kill or deal with your opponents creatures. 
• Mana Curve: Be mindful of the mana cost of all of your cards.  You want to make sure your deck has a good mana curve. If you don't know what a mana curve is or how to tell if it is "good" then stay tuned for more Deck Making Tips in the future.
