Description:

Doc streams late night limited on Twitch. He began playing Magic: The Gathering at age 6, in Mirage, and has been honing his game since. He gets his fix of paper magic through a Team Draft League in Brooklyn, and he represented the Community at the 2015 Community Cup.

What makes Magic fun for you?

Doc has fun when he really has to use his brain. Magic affords him plenty of opportunities to use his brain.

More than that, Doc loves streaming and loves the interaction with his community.

Early Challenge

Being closed minded and narrow. Doc would form an opinion of a format or card and if anyone said something different he would dismiss it. Chris Manning broke through the blinders and helped Doc improve.

Proudest Magic Moment

Being elected to represent the Magic community at large at the 2015 Magic Community Cup.

Best Format

Draft

#1 Draft Tip: BREAD - Bombs, Removal, Evasive, Aggressive, DudsPick cards in this order as a general guideline to draft.

Current Standard Deck

Esper Dragons

Biggest Mistake Players Make

Limited: Deck building is where people make the most mistakes. Know the set and what you need to survive. In Magic Origins for example you need several relevant plays (creatures) before turn three.

Know how fast the format is and know how to keep your opponent off tempo.
