Evaluation Tips Dan admits to being a terrible card evaluator but still thinks about cards as they are released and their possible impact on Standard. Limited Tips Sealed: Identify a deck plan and build around that. Draft: Be very mindful of your mana curve. Team Building Find A team. Ideally you'll want a team with Pro players but if you can't find one then just get on A team that play tests regularly. Play Testing Take good notes and don't waste play testing time. Be mindful of "inbred" play testing. Improvement Invest in Standard and stick with your deck as you improve and move up to bigger tournaments.
