His next level moment was realizing that living in isolation is not a way to increase your knowledge and skill. Proudest Magic Moment First Friday Night Magic he won. First Game Day he won. First Game Day his wife won. (Gatecrash Game Day when she was 5 months pregnant!) Favorite Format Modern YouTube Channel At the Tolarian Community College the Professor reviews Magic: The Gathering products. He was instrumental in bringing the FOUR by DeckTutor to the United States. In fact, because of the feedback from his audience Deck Tutor modified the design of the binder to fit cards that have been sleeved in a perfect fit. Worst Product The Professor Has Reviewed Max Protection sleeves are the worst the Professor has ever reviewed and their deck boxes literally stink. Worst Mistake Players Make Stubbornness. Out right refusing to play different decks just to learn limits growth. Even if you don't like/want to play a certain type of deck competitively you should at least play them a few times in practice so you understand how the deck works. Card Evaluation Tips The Professor is a self admitted crank during spoiler season. He wants reprints and to return to sets that are unpopular. LOL. Sealed & Draft Tips Printing proxies and making sample booster packs to build sealed decks and draft before the pre-release. Improvement Suggestions Reading articles and being familiar with the current sets is a great way to break into Magic. Mono Red for constructed (Standard, Modern and Legacy) is a great starting point.  Magic Resource MTG Goldfish MTG Top 8 MagicCards.info MTG Salvation forums MTG Subreddit r/spikes Casual Wrap Up First Commanders:Krenko, Mob BossAnowon, the Ruin Sage Most played Commanders:Teysa, Orzhov ScionSapling of ColfenorSen Triplets Art that the Professor feels embodies him:Redirect Connect With The Professor Twitter: @TolarianCollege YouTube: Tolarian Community College Like What You Hear?
