The comprehensive plan, also known as a general plan, master plan, or land-use plan, is a document designed to guide the future actions of a community particularly in a town or city. It presents a vision for the future, with long-range goals and objectives for all activities that affect the local government. 

Land use planning ensures that resources are used efficiently so that the needs of the people met while safeguarding future resources. Land use planning is essential for any development project, where they will base on the current land use status. 

In the terms of Magic: the Gathering deckbuilding, you sort each card component depending on its use. You have to identify and plan out which way is your goal achieved. For example, an aggro deck is mostly composed of creatures which are of course your main method in winning the game: by attacking.

In the decklist shown above, the major components are small creatures with abilities that will gain your board advantage, especially on the curve. Luminarch Aspirant pumps your dudes every beginning of combat while Seasoned Hallowblade survives to destroy effects at a cost of a card. Each creature has a role to fill in winning the game.

Maul of the Skyclaves and Sentinel’s Eyes are your support spells and helps evade relevant blockers by gaining the powerful abilities Flying and First Strike. The latter is strong especially if opponents would plan to double or triple block your threat, destroying their combat math.

Overall, you need to sort by card type and mana cost of each card component that you’d think would fit a specific role in the deck strategy. Each of those cards can provide a balance and harmony and you cut out those that are not, or place them on the sideboard.

Do take note that as a standard comprehensive land-use plan, it is subject to changes and updates after implementation. The main deck and sideboard are continuously edited if needed to increase their effectiveness in the metagame.

The entry of the Strixhaven set in Standard will again surely have another update in the White Weenie decklist example above, as expected of the new cards and mechanics that will affect the format.

That is a wrap for now. Until the next blog posts.
