Listen here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep201 First Set Legions Favorite Set Theros (for the draft environment) Favorite Card Cruel ultimatum Early Challenge Being stubborn. Jack would draft a good card and then get fixated on it. He would force an archetype and learned not to. Worst Magic Moment When Wizards switched off of the ELO system, Jack's qualification chances plummeted  because he doesn't play that often. He learned to enjoy Magic at its roots. Proudest Magic Moment Qualifying for the Pro Tour and calling his wife to say they are taking a trip.  What Have You Learned From Magic Making decisions with incomplete information. Magic Mentor Advice Don't play cards that lead you to being 2 for 1'd. Draft two colors. How To Go from Day 2 to Top 8 Keep at it. Do what you're doing and take advantage of when variance breaks your way. Keep your emotions in check. Don't tilt. Deepest Thing You've Learned About Yourself You can have a good time while losing.
