I learned something new about Magic deckbuilding today!

3. You learn mana curves. If you haven't done this yet, build your next deck this way: group all your cards by converted mana cost. Put the Mogg Fanatics and Shocks in the first column to the far left, the Goblin War Buggies and Incinerates in the next column to the right, the Suq'ata Lancers and Viashino Sandstalkers in the third column, and the Keldon Champions and Skizziks in the fourth.

I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been playing long enough to have been on the wrong end of an Arcades Sabboth attack and yet I never once thought of doing that.

I tried it last night when I made my new mono-black deck.

Mana curves are to Magic what, something else is to something else.

It never mattered much to me. My friends and I used to always play quick games during lunch, and had a house rule of playing as many lands as we wanted each turn.

Play a fast weenie deck. Then you don't have to worry about mana curves, just how to get more cards when you play them all in one go
