Early ChallengeGreg didn't have a game store close by so he played a lot on MTGO. Greg also struggled with understanding and coping with variance.
Worst Magic MomentGreg was playing a win-and-in for top 8 and his opponent was clearly not as good as he was. When his opponent won, Greg was really upset. From that, Greg learned to remember that Magic is a game.
Proudest Magic MomentFinally qualifying for the Pro Tour. Greg was traveling and took time to do an online event and made it to the end and qualified.
Biggest Mistake Players MakeKnowing when to think is the biggest skill you can have in Magic.
Grand Prix PreparationThe thing that helped the most was having a friend to play with and doubling down on wanting a specific match up to be amazing.
Parting GuidanceMagic is a game. Enjoy it and treat your opponent with respect.
