First Set

Legions

Favorite Set

Champions of Kamigawa

Favorite Card

Meloku the Clouded Mirror

Early Challenge

Ivan is a brewer and he would try to make cards work, even if they weren't competitive.

Magic Milestones

2nd place at New Zealand Nationals.

Winning a PTQ  and going to Pro Tour Dark Ascension.

Worst Magic Moment

In Worlds, Ivan is up a game... but still loses because he had every high variance cards.

Another time, Ivan is at a Grand Prix playing a game to get into day 2. He was looking too far ahead and made the only line of play that gave his opponent the way out to win.

Proudest Magic Moment

Getting back to the Pro Tour through winning GP Sydney. Ivan is also really proud of an epic win he pulled off in Pro Tour Dark Ascension.

What Have You Learned From Magic

Magic and life are not all about you. Both players need to have fun.

Shortcoming

Developing an adaptable, longer plan.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Tilting. Players who can't handle their emotions when things don't go their way is a problem Ivan sees. Stop sharing bad beat stories. That's not where your focus should be.

Limited's Effective Preparation for a Big Event

Magic Online has become one of Ivan's best tools. There's too big of a skill range at the shop, so Ivan plays online to get the high-level practice he needs.

Parting Guidance

We can't get better in isolation. Cultivate your community.

THANK YOU!!!

We've brought Chris Lansdell back to help us talk about the results of Pro Tour Hour of Devastation! Between the Hall of Fame, Ramunap Red, PVDDR's insane accolades, and one notable sequencing error there is plenty to talk about! After that we've got HasCon promos and a truly sick Ajani statue along with a few bits of MTGO news.

Just remember - nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes all the time, but ours aren't usually in front of thousands of people with a lot of money at stake. Calm down, use your heads, and don't be a dick about that sort of thing. Make the world a better place.

This week Doug and Sean get back to form? We talk about some decks we've been playing, and then some decks that we want to build.  This is the second episode we recorded that night so we were a bit on the tipsy side, which leads to some interesting word flubs.

Doug suggests adviser tribal, and invents the card Aetherworks reservoir.

Sean doesn't have faith in humanity, and tries to put a retro game into magic.
