The Four Pillars of Magic

Thursday, April 12, 2007

What I want to share with all the magic players today is an article I read on the net.

CLICK HERE

The article talks about the four main aspects of the game you need to know to be a better player. And the best way to do it? Something I know many of you guys have already heard more than enough from me.

"Play more".

Go on, give it a read. Then come back here after you're done.

Back? There's another thing I wanted to add to the last pillar, Luck.

The article mentioned 2 important things to lookout before before blaming your own 'luck'. Magic in it's core is a game of mathematics and probabilities. Most don't really care because the numbers involves simply boggles one mind, but they exist. Hence, another factor when you're dealing with 'luck' that I felt the article left out was deck building skills. There's a very good reason why everyone needs to play four copies of their best card - this maximizes the probability of you drawing them in a game, because you WANT play them.

Another means is card drawing or tutors. Let's take the Dragonstorm deck for example. Remands, Compulsive Research, even Sleight of Hand lets the player cycle through the deck for the precious combo pieces you need to win. Most people who lose to the deck might lament the fact that the other player 'got lucky' and managed to pull off his Dragonstorm combo before they can kill the Dragonstorm player, but the fact is that the deck was built that way to maximize the chances of getting your the combo pieces out, hence, from a more mathematical point of view - a win with this deck has more to do with the deck design than plain ol' luck.

Another example are during Booster Drafts. There's a very good reason why people are encouraged to play 40 cards, the minimum number. The smaller the deck, the higher the probability you will be able to draw your best cards. Of course, there's more to this that makes drafts more skill intensive and challenging, like card evaluation and signaling, but we'll leave the more advanced topics to the pros or another day. Deck building skills play a part here as well as most players forget about many key principles, like the Mana Curve and Creature / Other spells ratio. A keen eye is needed to look out and maximize the synergies you can find while drafting to put into your pile of cards that you'll be building your deck out of.

Thus, sharp card evaluation + good drafting skills + good deck building skills = a powerful and 'lucky' deck.

Everyone has a hand in how 'lucky' one can be in their games. Always remember to non't be lazy, shuffle up properly, build more decks, draft more perhaps and most importantly, play more. That's how you become a better player, and that's how you can 'defeat' bad luck.

Randomness is all part of the game. The reason why Magic is so captivating and fun to me is how every game can be so different from the other. If you like a fair game where everyone gets the same cards and is allowed the same moves and find Magic unfair in it's 'luck' factor, go play chess. :)

The Future is here!

Future Sight, that is.

Although lacking the boom and hype of Planar Chaos (no thanks to Damnation), FS seems to be shaping up to be a very interesting set, as Wizards (thanks to crazy ol' MaRo) seem to be using FS as a testing ground for many many potential new mechanics, different twists of the game and a potential future new frame for the game. WotC insists that these are only potential futures as nothing is set in stone yet. What I think is that they're using this as a live test, a survey of sorts, to see how players respond to a taste or two of many experimental ideas and mechanics R&D has come up with.

There is going to be 49 total keywords appear in FS. Among others split second, suspend, echo, buyback, convoke, morph and Scry.

Set Name Future Sight (a.k.a. ‘Pop’)
Block Set 3 of 3 in the Time Spiral Age Block
Number of Cards: 180
Rarity distribution: 60 commons, 60 uncommons, 60 rares
Release Date: May 4th, 2007
Prerelease Tournaments: April 21st -22nd, 2007
Previews on magicthegathering.com start: April 10th, 2007

Excited yet? I sure am.

Remember, Top FOUR drafters of the year gets one FREE draft while Top FOUR players overall will receive prizes yet to be determined (I promise it's better than the drafter prize :D ).

A reminder - if you didn't know, top 75 ranked players under Composite ratings in Malaysia are invited to play in the National Championships 2007 this year to stand a chance to win thousands of US dollars AND the chance to be on the National Team AND play at the World Championships (links you to Worlds 2006) 2007, to be held at New York City, USA on December 6-9, 2007. So far, THREE players from our playing community are currently in the top 75 rankings and will qualify for the Nationals if they maintain their rankings. The cutoff date is the 27th of June, so you still have time, so dust off your deckbox, sharpen your drafting skills and play!

Another announcement is that the lastest Magic Player Rewards ARE HERE! Not only are they giving out the Foil Wrath of God still, the newest addition to the textless spells is... PSIONIC BLAST! (ZOMGWTFBBQ!)

MtG Drafts are still on every Tuesday night 8PM, ACR1007 and Standards every Sunday morning 11AM, ACR1007! Contact QJ at 017-3479512 for any questions whatsoever!
