I’m talking to pro player Gerry Thompson. Recently, Gerry became the first to go undefeated in the swiss rounds of an SCG  Open during SCG Open Atlanta June 2016. He's been in the pro scene since 2003 with a Pro Tour top 8 and two Grand Prix wins to his name. Gerry is also consistently at the top of the SCG Tour leaderboards.

Gerry is an active writer for Star City Games.com as he shares weekly knowledge with video deck techs and articles. In this interview, Gerry shares how he got started and imparts some words of wisdom about how to improve. I hope you enjoy this episode of Kitchen Table Magic with Gerry Thompson.

First Set

Favorite Card

Jace, The Mind Sculptor

What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?

A lot of friends play and Matteo gets to travel.

Worst Magic Moment

Matteo had to stop playing Magic for a while due to work and this was his worst moment with the game.

Proudest Magic Moment

Top 8 at Grand Prix London

Best Format

Limited

Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself

Matteo learned how much of a social animal he is. He loves having fun with friends and Magic gives him that opportunity. (Futbol does as well.)

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Players underestimate their opponent too often.

Players also play their resources too early in the game and don't have answers to real problems later on.

Improvement Suggestions

Draft when you can and trade your cards for what you need.

Nathan Holt is the co-creator of Walking the Planes and the new Magic documentary Enter the Battlefield: Life on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. Nathan studied theater with a concentration in acting and went on to do plays, movies and even some stand up comedy.

Early on Nathan and Shawn Kornhauser filmed a few videos that went viral in the community and quickly got picked up by Wizards of the Coast to create the series Walking the Planes.

After following the Pro Tour for years, Nathan and Shaun produced, Enter the Battlefield: Life on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour.

This feature length documentary explores into the lives of Reid Duke, Owen Turtenwald, William Huey Jenson, Chris Pikula, Patrick Chapin, Melissa DeTora, and Shahar Shenhar.
