One of the cool things about Battle Pack: Epic Dawn is that you can use it to play all sorts of Sealed Play and Draft formats. If you’re like most of us, your first experience with Epic Dawn was probably 40 card Battle Pack Sealed Play. It’s a great format, because it’s easy, fun, and it gets you familiar with a lot of cards you probably haven’t seen lately, if ever. It’s a nice introduction to the concept of Sealed Play, and if you’ve only ever Dueled in the Advanced Format, it’s an absolute must so you can adjust to all the differences.
But once you feel like you have a handle on 40-card Sealed Play, more challenges await! You could try playing some Draft, but if you want to just up the intensity right away, then 30-card Sealed Play is the place to be. On the surface, the only difference is that your minimum deck size is smaller. You still start with ten Battle Packs, and you still build your deck from the cards you opened.

Every card in Battle Pack Sealed can help you win your Duel, but a few will transform that Duel into something completely different! While some cards may help you win a single battle or make a single Summon, others are literally game-changers, reshaping your goals in the blink of an eye. Today we’ll look at four of these cards, discuss why they’re so influential, and how you can outplay them when your opponent drops one of them to the table.
Never underestimate the power of a card. If you do, an opponent may surprise you by showing you what it can do, or you might miss out on a chance to exploit that card’s power. Here are 5 Spell and Trap Cards from Battle Pack: Epic Dawn that you won’t want to underestimate in Sealed Play!
One of the unique and important aspects of Sealed Play is know which cards you should add to your Deck, and which ones you should leave out. If you have too many of 1 kind of card your strategic options may be limited when you Duel, whereas spreading your combos too thinly means you won’t always be able to make your best plays. This balancing act is especially important when you’re selecting higher Level monsters for your Deck, so here are some things to consider as you make your choices.
