What makes Magic fun for you?
The challenge of competing at the highest levels.
Early Challenge
Finding people who wanted to play as much as Jamie did was an early challenge for him.
Level Up Moment
Magic is a game of probabilities. Identifying that there is a correct play based on probability and realizing that you could make the correct play and still lose helped Jamie improve early on. It helped him let go of unnecessary pressure.

It's so easy to throw together a draft where all people have to do is invest 3 hours of their time.

Biggest Mistake Players Make
1) Don't go to a big tournament too early. 
Play during the week. Play at FNM. Participate in online trainings like LSVs "What's the play?"
2) Don't give away too much imformation.
Hold cards in hand you don't need to play so your opponent knows as little as possible.
