Flux Counting and Improving Your Opening Game
Whats your opening like?
Flux counting is the coin term for a well planned opening game. Generally it should be used to plan flux spending for round 3 or 4 of a match but if possible more. It will give you an edge.
The Counting Tree
The absolute best way is to do it with a pencil and a piece of paper.
You put turn one in the top middle of the paper and branch out plays. As an example I will make a flux counting tree for a sylvan/elemental deck. In this example I want to cast Vapor Mahal and Bamboo Watchtower quickly to claim the middle flux well but I also want to keep the defended.
TURN 1: 10 flux
- 7 flux - Grove
- 1 flux - tenderfoot archer or valedune arborist
= 2 flux left
-------------------------
