It's a slow news week. In fact, if the B&R update hadn't happened we probably wouldn't have done the show this week. But luckily it did, so here we are! There are banlist updates across several formats, which is the big news of the week of course. There's the reveal of the full list of foils in the Mystery Booster WPN Edition. There's a list of stuff coming up soon in Magic Arena. And there's the single tournament to talk about, GP Lyon. But hey, we get a nice short show this week.Seriously though, continue washing your hands. Be safe out there.

It seems that everything and everyone is all Elks all the time, and I’m not sure how many more bridges we have to cross before we achieve The Final FrontElk. So tell me: what else is left for Oko to conquer?

Florian Reiter is a writer and editor from Munich, Germany. He has been writing articles about Magic for various German Magic sites has been active in the tournament scene since 2009. He has one Grand Prix Top 8 from GP Lyon 2015. Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Florian Reiter when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor today! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep58 First Set Urza'a Saga Favorite Set Time Spiral  Favorite Card Horned TurtleCryptic Command What makes Magic: The Gathering fun for you? The diversity of cards and strategies and the mental challenge.  The people he's meet and the friends he's made have kept Florian around. Early Challenge Combat. Concentrating and keeping track of combat tricks was hard at first. Practice slowing down and thinking through each combat phase is how to improve. Level Up Moment Florian improved the most when he surrounded himself with a group of really motivated Magic players, all striving to get better. If everyone is trying to win a Grand Prix then the collective knowledge will raise everyone's level. Proudest Magic Moment Grand Prix Prague 2015 (Standard). Even though Florian only got Top 64 he feels like he really executed his game plan well. He approached the meta game from a different angle and brought an unknown deck that performed well. Best Format Standard - Lower power level means more cards are playable Biggest Mistake Players Make Not being introspective enough. Talking about luck is not a useful way to spend your time. Focus on what you can control and how you can play better. If you really focus your energy on Magic you will improve. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Sort out the unplayables. Lay out the rest by color. Determine what your really good cards are and build combinations that take advantage of the strengths Improvement Suggestions Watch streams and listen to podcasts. Magic content is largely free, so consume as much as you can. There is no substitute for playing but there are lots of free things you can do to get better.

Mark Litvak has just broken into the upper Magic scene by making his first Grand Prix Top 8 at GP Lyon October 2015. He is constantly seeking to improve himself and is looking forward to his first Pro Tour. He lives among the beautiful hills of Austria. Click to Tweet: I got a ton of value from Mark Litvak when he shared his story on #MTGProTutor today! Click here: http://bit.ly/mtgprotutor-ep49 First Set Onslaught Favorite Set Dragons of Tarkir Favorite Card Meddling Mage Early Challenge Giving up too soon. Mark learned to stay mentally in the game and play to his outs. Don't give up the fight. Proudest Magic Moment Top 8 of GP Lyon 2015. Best Format Limited Modern (Splinter Twin) How to Choose a Standard Deck Look at popular decks and look at the mirror matches and choose a deck that is well positioned against them. Observe matches using the deck you are considering and monitor how it plays out. This will help you decide if it's the deck you want to play. Biggest Mistake Players Make People underestimate the combat. It is very complicated if you want to do it well. Many people sit back to see "what happens" in combat. You need to put the brain power behind combat and figure it out ahead of time. Expect your opponent to play well and don't be worried about showing them something you don't think they've seen. Card Evaluation Tips Mark doesn't like how the spoiler is released but understands it from a marketing perspective. Sealed & Draft Tips Sealed: Separate each color into three piles; cards you want to play, cards you don't want to play, and on the fence cards. Next sort each pile by converted mana cost. Determine your colors by identifying which colors have a clear plan to success. Draft: Learn something from every game. Make it count by writing down results, talking to opponents, whatever you need to do to get that extra information you need to improve. Improvement Suggestions "Don't tilt and always strive for better." ~Mark Litvak Magic Resource Follow players you respect and read their articles.
