[Article] Type 1 101: Rules of the Road

[Dr. Sylvan]

PlayOrDraw.com requested some beginner stuff, so here's my first go. Feedback would be supah1337.

I enjoyed the article, Dr. Sylvan. As a relative newbie (and won't I always be?) to Type I, I certainly learned a couple of things.

I'd never really thoroughly counted the number of mana sources Type I decks use and I was surprised to learn that 25 - 30 is rather commonplace.

I also found it particualrly interesting that such a small difference between two decks can induce such large differences in the way the decks play. Coming from casual, decks that differ by only 5 cards (unless those are 4 copies of the deck's centerpiece and 1 other card) are functionally identical.
