Rules of Magic the Gathering Strixhaven School of Mages Set Boosters (30 Boosters Per Display)

What's inside: This display holds 30 Strixhaven Set Booster packs of 12 cards each, tuned for the fun of opening packs rather than drafting; each pack includes a card from the Mystical Archive of celebrated instants and sorceries.
Build a deck: Construct a deck of at least 60 cards using lands to generate mana and spells to cast; no more than four copies of any card except basic lands.
Set up a duel: Each player shuffles, draws a hand of seven cards and starts at 20 life.
Turn flow: Untap your permanents, draw a card, then in your main phase play up to one land and cast spells by tapping lands for mana.
Combat: Attack with creatures, the defender may block, and unblocked attackers deal damage to the opponent.
Second main and end: After combat you get another main phase to play lands or spells before passing the turn.
Winning: Reduce your opponent to 0 life, or win if they must draw from an empty library; a typical duel runs about 20–60 minutes.

Strategy

Include enough lands — around 24 in a 60-card deck is a common starting point — so you can cast spells reliably each turn.
Keep a sensible mana curve: mostly cheap spells with a few powerful expensive ones, rather than a deck full of high-cost cards.
Mulligan hands with no lands or only lands; a mix of roughly two to four lands plus spells is usually worth keeping.
Deploy creatures in your first main phase so they can attack that combat if able, and hold instant-speed tricks for after blockers are declared.
Save your removal spells for genuinely threatening creatures instead of spending them on the first target you see.
Try the Learn and Lesson mechanics: Lessons can sit outside your deck for Learn to fetch, adding flexible answers to your game plan.
Treat these as starting guidelines rather than a fixed formula — adjust your land count and spell mix as you learn how your deck plays.
