First SetLegions
Favorite SetTheros (for the draft environment)
Favorite CardCruel ultimatum
Early ChallengeBeing stubborn. Jack would draft a good card and then get fixated on it. He would force an archetype and learned not to.
Worst Magic MomentWhen Wizards switched off of the ELO system, Jack's qualification chances plummeted because he doesn't play that often. He learned to enjoy Magic at its roots.
Proudest Magic MomentQualifying for the Pro Tour and calling his wife to say they are taking a trip.
