I've read some articles that sort of break down a deck into sections and explains its strengths, weaknesses, preferred combos and things of those nature. But, it seems when deck building one of the earlier things to decide is what symbols to play. Problem for me is, some of those symbols still seem a little vague in terms of strengths/weaknesses.
I know Earth has some good damage pumps and a lot of access to throws. Fire seems to just be a beast with speed and damage pumps. Life is about vitality. Chaos deals with control checks. But Order, Balance, and the rest I don't get. I see some discard in death and void.
Also, how often do you go dual symbols vs Mono. Perhaps since my card pool (though varying across sets) is limited to the number of copies per card, I end up going slightly dual. I've either gone mono, or in cases where I need to try to focus on getting cards with both symbols and then spreading lightly out with cards that only carry the one.
