Magic Academy Deck Building Workshop | 15th December | 12:30pm

What is Magic Academy: Deck Building?

This event will act as a workshop for players wanting to expand their knowledge about Magic's limited formats (sealed and draft). During this event each player will be given 6 Foundations play boosters with which to build their sealed deck with the help for experienced players and staff.

After you build your deck you will be paired up with other players for casual one on one matches to get a feel for the deck you've made.

During the deck building portion of the event we will go over the stages of building a sealed deck including;

• Sorting cards by color
• Identifying key cards in the pool
• Mana curve planning
• Color combinations

What is Sealed?

Sealed games have you build a new deck from six unopened booster packs. Additionally, you may add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) as you’d like, even if they weren’t in the booster packs you opened, these will be provided by the store.

Sealed decks also have fewer cards, 40 overall, with around 17 of those being lands, so you'll have to narrow down the cards you open to the best 23 to construct your deck.
