While strategizing before Waterbury, Brad Granberry and I got to talking about personal experience and how it can play a role in how one approaches the game of Magic, and vice versa. It was an interesting conversation and he told me to write an article about it, so I did.

I went 5-1-1 with a first-round bye to end up 5th after the Swiss rounds, but lost to Dredge in the top 16. Waterbury was awesome and I will of course be writing about it for next week’s article.
