He also has 4 GP Top 8s and as you can tell by the dates is one of a very small group of players with a top 8 in 3 different decades. He currently lives in Philadelphia and trades equity options. Evaluation Tips Look at cards and compare them with the other cards being spoiled. Look for synergies like Subterranean Scout + Nantuko Husk. Limited Tips Reading the draft: Don't focus on this skill too early. First focus on learning the cards and becoming familiar with what's good and isn't. Identify the really good commons. When one of these picks come late than you can start reading the draft. Team Building Find others who are strong where you are weak but more importantly you need people who you are friends with.
