Magic - The Gathering - Battlemage Tip 1: ------ Whatever wizard you choose, always visit the Tome Builder to reconfigure your available spells from all those available in the game. This gives you a say in your wizard's casting strategies later during the duel. Tip 2: ------ Always provide yourself with a 33-33-33 mix of cards in lands, summoned creature spells, and other spells. Tip 3: ------ Don't worry much in the early game about conquering provinces. You need spells first, and the less your lands touch upon the other wizards', the better. Whenever they attack a land of yours, you'll duel them. Tip 4: ------ Before attacking a province, study its text. It will sometimes contain clues about the inhabitants' attitudes toward various wizards, which you can turn to your advantage.
