Julien Henry started playing Magic in Shards of Alara but has been playing competitively for only 2 years. He made it to the Finals of Grand Prix Manchester and qualified for Sydney which is going to be his 2nd Pro Tour. He’s a member of MTG Mintcard and he lives in Paris.

First Set

Shards of Alara

 

Favorite Set

Shards of Alara

 

Favorite Card

Nissa, Vastwood Seer

 

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

Trying to find interactions between cards.

Winning is also very fun and keeps Julien going.

 

How to have Fun and be Competitive

Focusing on improving keeps Magic fun.

 

Level Up

Won a RPTQ for Pro Tour Atlanta. Julien played a lot with the same deck in preparation for the event and it paid off.

 

Worst Magic Moment

Modern Grand Prix in Madrid. Julien played a TON and fine-tuned his deck. He even gave his list to friends who also tweaked it slightly and took it to the GP. His friends did really well but he didn't make day 2. To practice so hard and then fall short is very frustrating.

 

You have to practice so when luck hits you can grab it.

 

Proudest Magic Moment

Grand Prix Manchester 2016. Julien had a huge win streak and made Silver pro when he made Top 8.

 

Best Format

Standard

 

Players You Respect

Pierre Dagen

Louis DelTour

 

How to Effectively Prepare for a Big EventWhat's in Your Tournament Bag

Deck

Spare cards

 

Improvement Suggestions

Wait until the Pro Tour to invest in a Standard deck (if you're new). They'll do all the heavy lifting for you.

THANK YOU!!

A stack of Limited GPs always happens just before the Pro Tour. There's also an SCG Open, living in the weird dead zone of Standard between the First Week and the Pro Tour. Also, Bill & Chewie read the card lists of FTV: Lore for the first time live on the air and give an honest opinion. It was pretty neat.

Zeki is on a top secret mission so Renee, Trevor, and Brian discuss how Pokémon Go has served to build community and Renee’s adventures at the Delaware State Fair (say that 10 times fast). The conversation turns to a discussion of animals how have held the office of Mayor (Mare Mayor) and the collation errors with Eldritch Moon and the ramifications of this issue. The use of “create” on new FMN promos and #wotcstaff is also explored. Trevor reveals how much he is enjoying the closed beta of Eternal by Direwolf Digital.

In episode 20, Geoff Moes (@ThallidTosser on Twitter), Nat Moes (@GrandpaBelcher), and Josh Chapple (@joshchapple) reunite to talk about why we haven’t podcasted since spring, some of the goings-on in MTG (including the new Standard rotation and the Vintage Super League), and, most importantly, the food, folks, and fun experienced at GenCon 2014.

Here’s the timestamped table of contents for your listening ease and enjoyment:

01:17 – Rotating Standard

06:20 – Vintage Super League

16:03 – Gaming at GenCon 2014

33:10 – Vintage MTG at GenCon 2014

59:30 – Eating Indianapolis

Total runtime – 1:10:24

 

For the full writeup, decklists, & more head to Eternal Central

Another week of Eldritch Moon Standard has come and gone, and........... G/W Tokens is on top! The more things change the more they stay the same!

Of course there was plenty of Bant Company to ruin everyone's day. Let's not Dark Dwell(er) on that though.

Stephen, Shawn, Justin, and I are back at it to examine the results of the weekend and make a few predictions about what the Pro Tour metagame will look like.

Personally I'm hoping for a little Simic flavored Crush!

There's also been some changes to Magic covered, we brainstorm a bit of how else things can be improved moving forward.

Next up, we've got the full spoilers for FTV: Lore, and Justin is surprisingly a wealth of knowledge when it comes to old school Magic lore.

There's also a new Duel Deck coming soon that pits Nissa and Ob Nixilis against each other. Sweet new Doom Blade art!

Are these good for new teaching new players? We discuss.

Last but not least, Shawn has a new show idea that'll let us show off our brewing skills!

Got a card you'd like to see us build around? Let us know and we'll show off our Accumulated Knowledge! First up? Bedlam Reveler in Modern!

Stay tuned for more next week!
