Each deck set includes 1 ready-to-play deck of 100 Magic cards (2 Traditional Foil Legendary cards, 98 nonfoil cards), a Collector Booster Sample Pack (contains 2 Traditional Foil or nonfoil special treatment cards, with 1 Extended-Art card of rarity Rare or higher and 1 alt-art, alt-frame card of rarity Uncommon or higher), 1 foil-etched Display Commander (a thick cardstock copy of the commander card with foil etched into the cards border and art), 10 double-sided tokens, 1 deck box (can hold 100 sleeved cards), 1 Life Wheel, 1 strategy insert, and 1 reference card
Keeping your hand full after a brutal combat step or a board wipe is a great way to help you recover, but since its not a 'may' affect, be careful not to get your life total too low
Mana acceleration Avacyns Pilgrim, Heronblade Elite, Gyre Sage, and Somberwald Sage buff our mana supply to get a head start, also the Knight of the White Orchid when played tactically
Here we see Clive become Ifrit, fighting an opposing creature and then making you loads of mana
Thats where Collector booster boxes come in
Finally, you can mitigate the damage you take as it comes via creatures like Souls Attendant or Essence Warden, or gain a bunch of life through cards like Exsanguinate and Debt to the Deathless to offset early losses
