Cards with outlast are examples of mana sinks. Again and again I've brought up the idea of high-impact cards. In a long game of Sealed Deck, it's easy to spend the seven cards in your opening hand quickly and be stuck playing off the top of your deck. In games like these, it's of paramount importance that you get as much as you can out of every one of your cards. Remember, you need an adequate number of lands for your deck to function, and you need a balanced mana curve so that you don't get overrun in the early game.
Keeping these things in mind, here are some techniques you can use to maximize your number of high-impact cards. First, don't play too many cheap cards. Cheap cards are typically less powerful lower impact than expensive cards. This makes them less valuable in general, and less beneficial to draw off the top of your deck in a creature stall.
Play enough cheap creatures that you won't get overrun, and then begin to focus on your late game. It depends on your deck and the format, but you typically won't need more than five or six one- and two-mana creatures in Sealed Deck. Second, make sure you have enough creatures. Removal spells are great in Sealed Deck, and you should play as many as you can get your hands on. However, you also want as many creatures as possible I'd say that between fourteen and nineteen is ideal.
You should play with very few cards that are not creatures or removal spells. If a card is not a threat, and doesn't directly answer a threat, it had better do something very, very special for you to play with it in Sealed Deck.
Even knowing all of these things, the actual process of building your deck can be a challenge. The first time you open six booster packs might be overwhelming. It's hard to even know where to begin! While there's not necessarily a "best" process for building a Sealed Deck, it is important to have some kind of process, or else you might wind up wasting a lot of time and being unable to hone in on your best options.
So to help those of you who might feel a little lost, what follows is a description of what I'll personally be doing when I open my packs at the Khans of Tarkir Prerelease. First, I'll open all six packs and sort my cards. I'll separate the five individual colors and sort my multicolor cards into the five wedges: Abzan, Jeskai, Sultai, Mardu, and Temur.

Second, I'll take a look at my nonbasic lands. Right away, this might rule out certain color combinations where my mana would be too unreliable. If I have a lot of mana fixing in certain combinations, I'll be drawn toward those combinations.
Third, I'll gauge what my most powerful cards are. What are my rares? Which of them are bombs? What about my premium uncommons and removal spells? Fourth, I'll sort through and separate out the cards that I'm not excited to play with.
This will include the bulk of my noncreature, non-removal cards, and some of my low-impact creatures. I can always revisit this pile later if my deck comes up a few cards short. At this point, I'll have a lot of information in my head, and maybe some things will begin to stand out.
Where is my mana fixing? Where are my bombs? What colors are deep in solid cards? What colors are shallow? Now begins the work of actually looking at decks. If any color combinations stand out in my mind after sorting my cards, I'll start with those combinations.
If not, it's okay to pick one at random after all, you have to start somewhere. Say I've laid out an Abzan deck. This is drastically different from Constructed and Limited Draft, where sideboards contain a maximum of 15 cards. In a best-of-three match, players may swap out cards from their sideboard to their main deck in between games.
Unlike Draft, where competitors pass the packs around the pod, players must use the cards they receive from the six booster packs in Sealed. Individual cards that contain powerful stats while providing value should be the top priority.
They can be creatures, planeswalkers, equipment, and even removal. Using the MTG Kaldheim set as an example, there are 15 powerful bombs that all players should be aware of. Bombs can be splashed of a different color than the primary colors chosen or simply built around. Once the bombs are established, then a player can begin building a deck around those cards.
The pace of a Sealed game is much slower than Draft or Constructed. The same is true for synergy decks, but these are typically exceptions to the norm. Home Gameplay Formats Sealed Deck.
