Magic: The Gathering is a popular trading card game that utilizes a deck of cards called a "deck." In a game of Magic, each player starts with a deck of at least 60 cards, typically consisting of a combination of lands and spells. However, there is a variant of the game called "Magic 30 cards" where players build a deck using only 30 cards. In a standard game of Magic, having a larger deck provides players with a wider range of options and potential strategies. However, the Magic 30 cards variant is designed to offer a more streamlined and faster-paced gameplay experience. With only 30 cards, players can expect quicker games with fewer decisions to make.

Lucy s only suitor, a mill owner named Olson, makes hosiery in a dark, dirty place where women, children and the elderly toil under untenable conditions for slender wages. Through a remarkable blend of theoretical discussion and intellectual history, Owen has produced a work that moves far beyond a consideration of occultists and their world.
With only 30 cards, players can expect quicker games with fewer decisions to make. Building a Magic 30 cards deck requires careful consideration of card choices and interactions. Since players have fewer cards to work with, each card becomes more valuable, and every decision matters.
THE TWELFTH ENCHANTMENT
This odd mixture of industrial history and the occult world lacks charm and coherency, but it earns points for ambition and.
In this change of literary direction, Liss mixes his considerable knowledge of 19th-century England and its industrialization period with a touch of literal magic.
Sweet Lucy Derrick’s past luck has been anything but good. Her father favored eldest daughter Emily, but when Emily died, it brought him and Lucy closer together. Then her father also passed away, leaving Lucy and Martha, the middle Derrick girl, without money or prospects. Martha selflessly married the disagreeable Mr. Buckles with the hopes that he would provide for both her and Lucy, but Buckles forced Lucy from the family home. That is how Lucy came to find herself under the roof of a dyspeptic uncle and his rotten-to-the-core retainer, Mrs. Quince. Lucy’s only suitor, a mill owner named Olson, makes hosiery in a dark, dirty place where women, children and the elderly toil under untenable conditions for slender wages. Olson, who has no redeeming qualities other than being one of the few successful businessmen in town, plans to marry Lucy, even though Lucy wants no part of him, although she acknowledges her prospects are dim. A youthful indiscretion with a much older man has tainted her in the eyes of many, although the runaway lovers were intercepted before anything could happen. Alone, relatively friendless and without resources, Lucy is amazed when the beautiful and mysterious Mary Crawford befriends her, and even more astounded when she finds unsuspected talents for practicing the art of magic. Through Mary, Lucy discovers an innate ability to understand and cast spells, but at the same time, Lucy’s life is caught up in other things she does not understand: the burgeoning Luddite movement, a visit from a handsome, well-known nobleman and mounting fear engendered by shadowy dark creatures that others cannot see and do not realize are there. Liss writes in the almost formal style of that period and faithfully conveys England’s atmosphere during the early advent of mechanization, but the convoluted story moves at a tiresome pace.
This odd mixture of industrial history and the occult world lacks charm and coherency, but it earns points for ambition and characterization.

Now I'm curious about overlap between all four spell lists. What are the unique spells for each spell list?
It is important to choose cards that serve a specific purpose in the deck's strategy and maximize their impact. Due to the limited deck size, consistency becomes a crucial factor in Magic 30 cards. Players need to carefully balance their deck with a sufficient number of lands and spells to ensure they can consistently cast their spells and execute their game plan effectively. Deckbuilding strategies for Magic 30 cards often revolve around focusing on a particular theme or archetype. Some common archetypes in this format include aggro (aggressive decks that aim to quickly deal damage), combo (decks that rely on specific card combinations to win), and control (decks that aim to disrupt the opponent's plan and win in the late game). The Magic 30 cards format can be a great way to introduce new players to the game or to play quicker games with friends. It offers a different gameplay experience that requires players to think strategically and make the most out of limited resources. Whether you prefer larger decks or enjoy the challenge of building a tight and efficient deck, Magic 30 cards can provide a fun and exciting alternative to the standard game of Magic: The Gathering..
