Magic Nuts and Bolts is a series on improving your limited Magic win percentage by in depth analysis of drafting and gameplay principles. I assume that the readers already know the basic rules of booster draft and sealed deck, and also know the evergreen mechanics of Magic. If not, there are many online resources to teach you these subjects. I will focus on general principles and theories of Magic, using examples from recent sets. Magic Nuts and Bolts is not another set review, pick order, or draft strategy guide for the latest release. My goal is to share some insights with you that will help you evaluate cards and strategies on your own, win more consistently, and whether you play Magic Arena, Magic Online, or Friday Night Magic, have more fun.
