First Set

Mirage

Favorite Set

Legends / Urza's Saga

Favorite Card

Mana Drain

Early Challenge

Drafting has always been a challenge for Javier. He focuses on this by drafting online. Screenshots are a lifesaver.

Worst Magic Moment

At a GP in Santiago, Javier went 9-0 in day1 but went 0-5-1 on day 2. He felt so bad and struggled mentally, but came to realize that everyone has good and bad days.

Proudest Magic Moment

First Grand Prix top 8 / Seeing countrymen do great.

Shortcomings

Javier is working on his draft skills and is focusing on controlling his emotional responses to losing.

Best Format

Legacy

Daily Habits

Reading everything he can. Javier keeps tabs through CFB and SC. He also plays every day even if it's just one or two matches.

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Javier learned about leadership and friendship.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players complain about luck all the time when they have no control over it. Improve yourself and understand that luck is part of the game.

Preparation for  Tournaments

Javier followed the metagame closely and chose a Blue / Red deck. However, one week before the Grand Prix, he started losing a lot. So Javier talked with the best player in the country and switched to a Mardu deck.

Parting Guidance

Enjoy the game. Magic is great. Play with friends and meet new people. Travel all you can.

This cast we bring up our thoughts on what to do when deciding to play the best deck or a deck that beats the best deck. Max shares his recent online endeavors in MTGO. Then on the way back Max happened to pick up Belcher and has a lot of good things to say about it.

We made it to 10 episodes! Excitement is real! The week's contribution is full of news, announcements, and something that's never been attempted before...

Prescient.  That feeling doesn't come around very often.  So why is one of the 'Hards feeling it?  Overcoming adversity.  The TriHards had to do that to get this episode recorded & ready...Now WotC is asking Standard players to do the same by breaking out the Ban-Hammer* again! What do we think of the ban?  What's your excitement level in the midst of Announcement Week?  No need to undergo your metamorphosis alone!  Just stir up a beverage & add the TriHards for maximum enjoyment!
