Early Challenge
“I’m a red mage at heart and I like attacking.” Marcus had to learn that even though he wanted to attack, some times he had to take the defensive side. Learning to switch between aggressor and defense is an early skill Marcus worked on.
Level Up Moment
During the return to Ravnica block era, Marcus had two enchantments to deal with a lethal creature. However, he made a mistake by missing a key card in the graveyard.
How to Learn from Mistakes
In the middle of a tournament, don’t go on tilt. After the tournament consider the mistake and what caused it. Did you not fully consider the board state or failed to track information? Look for general lessons.
Worst Magic Moment
At his first Gran Prix Marcus built a WG deck with no removal spells. He could have splashed a removal in his pool but didn’t consider it. Marcus learned to take another look at his pool before submitting to see if there are cards (like removal) that are worth splashing.
