What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you?
Really good organized play. Plenty of events to meet up with friends and play.
Level Up Moment
When he was invited to play with team MTG Mint Card.
Hardest Magic Moment
Chapman's sliver deck was stolen. He was determined to not let the loss get him down and he bounced back and started grinding really hard.
Proudest Magic Moment
Playing so many Pro Tours in a row without being a Gold Level Pro.
Deepest Thing About Yourself
He's learned he's very independent. He schedules all his travel himself and is always where he needs to be when he needs to be there.
Favorite Format
Limited
Limited tips: Go to the pre-release of every set. It's a lot of fun and you can prepare by reading the set primer.
Sealed & Draft Tips
Drafting is the hardest format. Manage your curve. Do a draft once or twice a week. Stay consistent and you'll get better.
How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event
Meet up with a team a week before and practice.
Biggest Mistake Players Make
Playing removal spells too early, especially in Limited. At the GP level, Chapman sees people throwing away their removal when they should wait for something bigger
