The simple answer is I don't know. In the world of magic, the difference between good and great is that great wins 5-10% more of their matches, or maybe one per tournament. When I was induced to the Hall of Fame in 05, I had a Pro Tour win % of 61 or 62%, which included a couple years when I was in decline. My best season(98) I had a match win % in the low 70s. On any given day anybody can beat anybody else. In the long run, the best players will just win a little bit more

Wow, I can not believe how much coverage this is getting and right before the Pro Tour also.

Finkel's one of us. Attacks on one of the most visible members of the gaming community, by a socially awkward, unattractive, yet somehow entitled blogger chick, makes sense as something that would draw the Internet's wrath.

And it doesn't help that he also happens to be financially successful, well-groomed, well-spoken, sane, and otherwise defensible.
