Magic The Gathering is a lot of fun. In order to play the Magic game, you have to have your own Magic deck. Therefore, you need to learn how to build your own deck with proper strategies. Before you look at other players deck examples for ideas, you need to understand the basics of deck building. And here we are to teach you how. Experienced players usually owns a lot of different decks of different purpose. Before you have your collection, we must first understand the ways to win a Magic game.

A Magic The Gathering Deck can hold up to 200 cards or as little as 60 cards. By simple mathematics, we know that there are so many ways to build a deck that we can spend the whole life building decks without creating 2 same ones. However, there is only one aim that is to win and not to lose. But how can I win a Magic game?

There are a number of ways in which you can defeat your enemies. First, you can hurt them with spells or creaures attacks to decrease their life counters which is 20 initially. Second, you can try to make all of his cards go to the graveyard and when he has no cards to draw, he loses. This method is difficult. Perhaps only Blue mana cards can help you do that. Third, some creatures have Poison abilities. When you attack with them, the other player gets 1 poison counter. When it goes up to 10, the player loses. It sounds cool, but it is really rare to happen. Because poisonous creatures are usually easily killed and there are not too many of them. Each successful poison attack gives only 1 poison counter. Compared to life counters, although every one has 20 to begin with, each attack can damage up to 12 or more life counters. So the poison method is too hard and should not be considered by beginners.

You can pick whichever way you would like to use to defeat your opponents. But the majority of the Magic players out there uses the first method which is to decrease other players’ life to 0. In order to do this, you can try one or more of the followings: 1. attack your opponents directly with spells. You must work your way out in order to achieve this because the creatures on the battlefield can be used to guard the players. And there are limited number of direct attack spells. 2. use your creatures to attack. This is the most common as it gives good results. 3. use spells to limit your opponent so that he can’t cast his spells or attack you. 4. make his library goes out so the player has no cards to draw.

These are the 4 seperate ways. But you can choose a combination of them and work out a tactic to win most efficiently.
