What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

The competitive scene drew him in.

Early Challenge

Creature combat. Robert played more control decks to get around not playing creatures.

Worst Magic Moment

SCG Las Vegas 2014. Robert dropped from the Invitational and joined the open. Playing win and in for top 8. Robert played against Steve Robin and got demolished. This led Robert to really doubt his ability to play. He forced himself and asked "is this something I really want to do ?". Once he committed he went all in.

Proudest Magic Moment

Champion of GP Portland 2016.

Level Up Moment

Started attending a competitive FNM. Associating with better players really helped.

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Robert felt like he hit a wall. Tournament result were stagnant. Connecting with other players is key to his success.

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players have deck ADD. Stick to a certain deck and get to know it really well.

How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event

Find a group of like minded individuals. Build the gauntlet and attend PTQs and GPQs together.

After a week long hiatus due to Alex flying across the country, we're back! Just in time for spoilers!

Justin joins me tonight for our approximate 1 year anniversary and we've got a lot of stuff to cover.

First up, what does Modern and Standard look like when the Pros battle it out for the World Championship? Lots and lots of Bant.

We've also learned where we're heading after Kaladesh. The Egyptian plane of Amonkhet, ruled by none other than Nicol Bolas! The Hour of Devastation is upon us!

Modern Masters 2017 has also been announced, adding Innistrad and Return to Ravnica blocks to the mix. Will WoTC dip back into the Tarmogoyf well, or will new money cards fill those overpriced packs?

Finally the bulk of our episodes revolves all around Kaladesh. What's the story behind this inventive plane, what new mechanics are there to play with, and of course all the new cards that have been spoiled so far. Planeswalkers and Gearhulks abound!

Stay tuned for more next week!
