-Why you play competitive Magic
I love playing magic because it is such a rush when you can find that one obscure path to victory. It it just the best feeling. Plus it is fun to do, you get to travel (sometimes) and it is just a great way to meet people and have fun.

-What your main reasons are for wanting to join the team
With my age i don't have as much time as i want to play in major tournaments outside of Colorado, but i still am always up to date with every ptq format and test them vigorously even if i know i can't go to more than my local ptq. This seems like a good outlet to share my testing and discuss magic.

-What you think you would bring to the team that makes you stand out above other applicants
I am an all around good player and feel that if i could play in more major events then i would have a much higher rating and more accomplishments. I test a lot, and can share my results and draft constantly and feel that i can make a valuable addition to the team.

-What your strengths as a Magic player are
How much testing i do is a big one, but i feel like I am a very strong limited player. Whenever i draft i feel that if i don't get first that i did something wrong, that one pick could have been better, sealed i feel the same way about deckbuilding. The problem is i play at my local store and if i go (in matches) 8-1 over 3 drafts i maybe break even if i'm lucky cause of the scrubs that are there.

-What your weakness as a Magic player are
My weakness is lack of tournement play, i have played in probably under 20 major events, but still test tons for all formats.

-What the main formats that you play and focus on are
Whatever ptq season it is.

-Which format you think you're most proficient in
Probably limited, draft/sealed, whichever, i like to think i'm good at both.

Thanks for reading.
