Beats and Skies

A love letter to Preconstructed Magic

Index

I have been adding categories to all of my posts for some time so that I can add some extra navigation / filtering options and make specific content easy to find. That’s all well and good, but unless you know it’s there then it’s not much use. There’s no doubt something that I can do with having a menu bar with drop downs or something similar, but to start with I’ll just throw a lot of links together on a single page.

Colours

The deck includes one of these colours:

White, Blue, Black, Red, Green

Note that if a post is discussing more than a couple of decks I won’t typically use these tags. Because otherwise each would include more posts than it excluded, making them pretty pointless.

A deck includes only one colour (all)

Note: Block Constructed is probably my biggest format category as it’s by default what most of the theme decks and intro packs fall into. Set Constructed is, as far as I know, never really been a proper format. However, I tend to use it to group decks that which were constructed from a single set. Obvs.
