Making a Store Stand Out
Be deliberate about the feel you want players to experience.
Biggest Mistake Players Make
Not having enough experience with their deck. Take the time to play and know your deck ahead of time. Ask a lot of questions.
Tournament Day Tips
Control your emotions and look at what you did wrong. Successful players tend to be brewers. Their brains are always churning. Have a good breakfast.
What Have You Learned from Magic
Patience. So many times you want the results now but understand that it will come once your skill is where it needs to be.
Parting Guidance
Have patience with yourself, your community and your store.
