Welcome to the ultimate guide on magic standard decks

This will net you a ton of cards in most decks

Hundreds of artists, and thousands of cards every year

But theyre also good for: Deciding who gets first turn in the match Simulating coin flips for The Gold Saucer (call odds/evens instead of heads/tails) Randomly choosing a card for Sin, Spiras Punishment Tracking the mana in your mana pool (if a card like Esper Terra makes a lot all at once) Representing the numbers (and/or stats) of tokens you create Keeping count of random statistics that your cards care about, like how close you are to transforming Emet-Selch or how many times Sephiroth has triggered this turn Helping you remember important upkeep triggers like Dark Confidant or Seymour Flux (place a die on top of your deck every turn so you cant draw a card without stopping to remember why its there) and plenty more
