22-23 cards + 17-18 basic lands

1. sort by color, multi color, colorless and non basic lands. play 2-3 colors if neccesary.


2. Identify good cards/biggest threat cards and bad cards
	-good cards-
	*cards that with large power/defense
	*cards that are hard to remove
	*cards with evasion
	*cards with game breaking effects/planeswalkers
	*identifying a bomb doesnt neccesarily indicate what color you play

	-bad cards-
	*physically remove cards from your pool to construct deck easier

3. choose colors
	*identify removal cards (destroy/exile/return target creature or counter target spell)
	*identify evasion cards (attackers who can prevent blocking like flying, menance, trample, etc)
	*identify aggro cards dont win game but can fill out deck in mana curve
	*mana curve you want to be able to cast a creature every turn if possible therefore, you want to
	have creatures of varying mana cost
	*line up card by convereted mana cost and see wehre you have holes. this is where aggro comes in
	*"how many 1 drops, 2 drops, 3 drops do I have? Do I have 6 or 7 drops?"

	-mana curve-
	*13-17 creatures
	*1-2 mana = 5-7 cards
	*3-4 mana = 7-10 cards
	*5-6 mana = 1-2 cards
	*8+ mana = 0 cards
	*13 creatures is the absolute minimum. 15-16 is ideal
	*goal is to have 22-23 cards
	*17-18 lands

	-Further Notes-
	*Do not build more than a 40 card deck
	*you'll sometimes be tempted to go 41-42, this is legal but not recommended
	*Do not build a second or tranisitional deck. just build the best deck you can
