This week we spend a little time digging into the Standard Pro Tour results but...everybody else is doing that...so we'll focus our efforts on examining the brand new Commander format on MTGO. After just one week, a meta has begun to shake out and a few decks are rising to the top. We'll examine what's wining and exercise our deck building skills with Thalia, Guardian of Thraben.

Pro Tour Amonkhet happened without the input of the Felidar Guardian, so the meta shifted to the undead and the top six cards of the library. Oh, and cars. Over in Magic Online world, the most horrible and ridiculous time in Magic's history is coming up for us all to relive again. Thank goodness it's only for a week!

Making a Store Stand Out

Be deliberate about the feel you want players to experience.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Not having enough experience with their deck. Take the time to play and know your deck ahead of time. Ask a lot of questions.

Tournament Day Tips

Control your emotions and look at what you did wrong. Successful players tend to be brewers. Their brains are always churning. Have a good breakfast.

What Have You Learned from Magic

Patience. So many times you want the results now but understand that it will come once your skill is where it needs to be.

Parting Guidance

Have patience with yourself, your community and your store.
