::mumbles incoherently about manascrew::

I'd suggest reading some articles on mulliganing.

I'd also suggest reading some articles on deck construction. I'm betting this probably isn't your issue, but an occasional refresher on the basics can make a big difference.

I used to go 2-2 most events. Learning to mulligan put me at 3-1. I can't remember the last time I didn't claim prizes at an event. (The idea of "how does my deck win" and therefor knowing how I can win and how I can lose on any given turn helped a lot - especially in sealed, it has helped me go 4-0 with a card pool I would have considered hopeless)

Well, when your 7 card has 1 land, your 6 card hand has 1 land, and your 5 card hand has no land, you're probably not winning that game. :(

Any advice for the Delver vs Naya Pod matchup from the Delver perspective?
