Welcome back to another week of Ideas Unbound. Today we are going to do another Training Day article for the newer players out there. If you would like to see my previous Training Day articles you can find them here (Card Advantage) and here (Drafting 101).

A single game of Magic consists of a great many choices. Should I mulligan (I will be writing a whole Training Day article about this question in the near future)? Which land should I play? Is it smart to attack here? Should I kill their creature now or wait? Even the tiniest decisions can change the outcome of these decisions. At times, it can be overwhelming. Our goal should be to make informed decisions as much as possible, and so we want to have as much information as possible. And on the flipside, we want to limit the amount of information we are providing to our opponents so they will make bad decisions. Today we will look at information and how it can be exchanged in Magic.

Welcome back to another Ideas Unbound. We have another Prerelease coming up this weekend, so I thought I we would do a little Prerelease Primer today like I have done in the past. This Prerelease is for a core set, which generally has a simpler limited environment making it a little easier to build your sealed deck, but there are definitely some things to keep in mind when doing so. We will start with a few general pointers on building your deck and then look at some specific cards that you may want to look for this weekend.

I would like to welcome everyone back to Ideas Unbound. First of all, let me apologize for the long delay since my last content. I have been busy with work and life, and haven’t had a lot of time for Magic lately, but I’m planning on changing that and getting back to a regular content cycle. Hopefully, this will also encourage my fellow Arena writers to get back to it as well.
