In this episode of Griffin Fly MTG, we explore the concept of 'interaction packages' in Magic the Gathering. While maybe not an official term, interaction packages are crucial for gameplay, referring to the collection of cards in a deck designed to interact with opponents, such as counter spells and removal actions.
We discuss the importance of having 10 to 15 interaction cards to both protect one's own win conditions and disrupt opponents' strategies, using examples like Heroic Intervention and Swords to Plowshares. We also explain the concept of 'the stack' where players can respond to actions, stressing the need for understanding resolution order in high-level play.
The episode encourages players to consider interaction packages as vital components, highlighting their impact in competitive play by potentially containing up to 30 such cards in a high-level deck.
