Brian rarely posts his articles here for discussion, but I think this is a good article that touches on several interesting / important topics, particularly the parts on tilt / emotion control, and the unacceptable level of theft that occurred at GenCon.

This was a great read. Thanks for writing Brian, unfortunate that your Nationals results weren't more favorable.

Vintage is a lovely format, it's too bad so few people can play because the supply of power is so small.
Chess really changed when they decided to stop making Queens and Bishops. I'm just glad I got my copies before the prices went crazy.

Thanks for linking this article Matt.
Brian, it's too bad you had tough luck playing standard, we've all had days like you had. Props to you for not going on tilt. I am disappointed you didn't play Vintage though. I always look forward to what you've come up with to foil the metagame.

Brain, great article. Tilting is something I think all Magic players need to focus on because it's so easy to happen.
In regards to Dredge hate, since you are such an advocate of a 6+ sideboard cards for dredge, it would be nice to read a detailed article on game 2 strategy of blue vs dredge from both sides of the board...playing dredge hate effectively and effectively playing around it.
It is also interesting your article talks about sideboarding for Dredge and a glimpse into Mental Misstep breaking into Vintage decks...since decks with Misstep are better positioned to protect sideboard graveyard hate.
