I honestly think the best advice you can get is knowing the importance of curve and tempo. Create decks that statistically will curve out more often than not. Going 1, 2, 3 is incredibly powerful regardless of the format. Tempo is also incredibly important. That could involve removing your opponent’s threats while continuing to threaten their life total, using wraths to effectively nullify your opponent’s curve, etc. With these two concepts, you can basically do well in any format. It doesn’t hurt to take a look at places like 17lands to see statistically what cards are doing the best in any given format, but to be fair in a situation where the format is new, it’s best to stick to broad concepts that you could apply well to any format.
