I'm proud to announce that We (@HiveMindNJ) will be running another Modern Open. This time with @moxflip as our Vendor and some familiar faces from the Local scene. 1st->8th cash prizes, Vintage Cube side events, Raffles and a Custom Playmat along with a Trophy for the Winner.
@Sparky__MTG The other thing is quality over quantity in testing. Playing a MTGO prelim or 8-man draft is way better than 10 Arena matches. Playing 3 games and reviewing them is better than playing 5.
And focus on the optimal play, the optimal build, the optimal draft. Results are whatever.
@Sparky__MTG Brutal honesty with yourself. I know that most of my ideas are wrong. I'll approach new match-ups suboptimally, and some of my logic will be flawed. But I also know I can improve on these things quickly.
If I didn't have three weeks to prep for each PT, I'd be much worse.
