Ethan Gaieski started to play seriously when he moved to Japan in 2015. He came back to the States and did decently well on the SCG Tour but didn’t get any big results. Just a lot of cash. He finally made his first GP top 8 at Grand Prix Montreal 2017.

Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Ethan Gaieski when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor! Listen here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep208

Early Challenge

Financially keeping up with Magic was really rough. Also, the mental challenge of thinking everyone is better than him.

Worst Magic Moment

GP Orlando 2017, Ethan did poorly and because he prepared a lot and this was the third bad Gran Prix in a row, he was crushed. Embracing the variance is a lesson Ethan learned.

Proudest Magic Moment

Top 8 Grand Prix Montreal 2017.

What Have You Learned From Magic

Quantitative Reasoning. (Recognizing patterns and Math)

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Ethan knows he can become as good as he can if he doesn't crumple under people's expectations.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

When players got unlucky, they think they couldn't have won. Don't offload the responsibility. Own it and ask what you could have done. Talk to people.

How to Effectively Prepare for a Tournament

Ethan watched the Pro Tour closely and strove to understood best decks. He practiced by playing 10 Leagues on MTGO.

Parting Guidance

Always be looking for ways to improve. There's always something you can do.

In this episode of The Third Power, Usman and Anthony talk about Amonkhet and how its cards have performed in cube!

Crack-a-pack.

Usman's Amonkhet Review: Part 1 and Part 2.

Bannings are on everyone's mind, but should we even be asking the question?

Shawn and Justin join in tonight to answer that very question! In formal debate form.

But first! The Hour of Devastation is upon us and we have our first spoilers to go over. A cheap Black wrath, the God-Pharaoh himself, and the worst Red Green Planeswalker ever.

Oh yea, there's a Magic MMO coming out, but we don't know anything about it.

Next we take a hard look at Standard bannings. Are they actually good for the game? We dig in.

Stay tuned for more next week!

Flash's Theme by Queen from the Flash Gordon (Original Soundtrack)

A triple Standard weekend reveals Magic players are both lazy & inspired, love broken things & fighting against those same things. Duality I guess. Will this lead to bans & what does that mean to the community writ large? Were "leaks" used to frame consumer opinion? WotC's not the Archenemy but they did give us one!
