Drafting Magic is the most fun game Eugene has played. The community keeps him coming back for more. Early Challenge Started drafting and learned the BREAD shortcut but then took this too far.

Proudest Magic Moment Watching  Best Format Sealed Biggest Mistake Players Make Players are afraid to step out of their comfort zone. While only playing one deck is a good way to start, if ALL you do is play aggro then when the meta shifts you will be out of luck. Play lots of decks so you can easily pick up different styles based on the meta. Build two decks that attack on opposing axis so  Card Evaluation Tips Compare cards to older versions. By playing Limited consistently you build mental shortcuts. Sealed & Draft Tips Look at rares first. Grab cards that pull you into their colors, cards that you would definitely play in those cards, and cards you will likely play in those colors. Find the highest quality creatures and removal and make a two color deck around those cards.  How to Effectively Prepare for a Big Event Play sessions are key. Either online or in person. Talk to each other player.  Early on you want to identify powerful card interactions. After that you want to play the gauntlet of most likely decks. Improvement Suggestions Make friends with players you respect. Use Cockatrice and proxies. Playing Magic is the best way to get better at Magic. But playing other strategy games is good as well. Stay positive.
