Early ChallengeEric's deck selection skills were sub par. By consuming content Eric was able to get a better feel for the metagame.
Breakthrough MomentSCG Open in 2014, Eric played a Rabble Red deck and took 2nd.
Worst Magic MomentAt a local invite is the only tournament Eric lost his chance to make top 8 and he tilted really bad. He made a fool of himself. Now he thinks of the game in terms of resource management. Eric views his emotions and mental energy as a resource.
