Olivier Ruel on Shards of Alara Sealed

October 22, 2008

Olivier Ruel was recently inducted into the Magic The Gathering Hall of Fame. Also, he’s been one of the top pro players this year.

He talked about building a deck for the Shards of Alara sealed format:

I think in this format, you really want to play five colours if the fixing is there. You can’t make a very efficient aggro deck in this format because you must use three colours so the mana won’t work. It may work one round, two rounds… but for nine rounds? No, it will let you down. So you play five colours and powerful cards – all the fixing, all the flyers, all the removal.
