Limited set follow-through
This lesson plan is for people who want the full coaching experience over a whole limited format. This is meant to help you drastically improve in a season of limited, with a theoretical approach for long-term improvement. Depending on the tournament schedule and your own needs, this can shift from draft to sealed, BO1 to BO3. You can book this when you want but for best results, I recommend starting sessions roughly a few days after set release and having two sessions a week. Game is indicated as Arena but any MTG platform is fine.
Sessions Overview
Setting goals
1 hourWe will take the materials from the last session to build together an improvement plan. This will include immediate actions to take / assignments. This is highly adaptable based on your level but this lesson will be more theoretical.
Deck Building improvements 1
1 hourWe will focus this session on detailed approaches to make your drafting better or your sealed deck construction.
Deck Building Improvements 2
1 hourSame as last session. Replay analysis will be looked at here.
Gameplay review
1 hourThis session will focus on gameplay reviews - how are you approaching your games of limited, was is your reasoning, how are you playing around what your opponent is offering. This is best done with VODs / replays but can be live gameplay.
Gameplay review 2
1 hourSimilar to last session.
Open session
1 hourThis session is left open to focus on areas that still need improvement or to capitalize on strengths.
Tournament preparation 1 (or open session)
1 hourDepending on schedule, it is likely that a large limited tournament is taking place you want to take part in and do well at. We will use this session to talk about the differences (and what doesn't change) within a tournament structure. If you are not interested in a tournament, this will be a further Open session or replaced by a session focused on your goal (eg. ladder to mythic).
Tournament preparation 2 (or open session)
1 hourSame as previous session
Introduction - Time together
1 hourThis is the 1st session, to assess your needs and current skill level. We will do a 15 minute chat, followed by a draft and if time permits a game. In this step, I will let you take all the actions and explain your thought process as you go through. There will be a minor debrief here but the goal is to build a base for the next sessions.
Closing Session
1 hourThis is the last section to make sure we have a chance to check any replays / VODs and take stock of the progress made and what can be taken as further action points. Ideally at the end of this session, you feel comfortable in the limited format you focused in and have tools at your disposal to approach the next one.
