What have you been up to
Javier leveled up by playing more and really focusing on improving. Last time he was on he was a Silver Pro and now his Platinum focusing on improving has paid off.
2017 World Championship
In testing, Javier quickly learned that forcing a tribe/archetype would not work. He focused on Limited and played a deck he knew for Constructed.
What Have You Learned From Magic
Consider that others are thinking too. All parties are doing their best.
Biggest Mistake Players Make
Not listening to others. It’s easy to assume you know the matchup but you’ll be surprised when you play the other side.
Parting Guidance
Know your Constructed deck inside and out.
