Sam Zakrzewski lives in Madison Wisconson and started playing Magic as a freshman in High School. He started playing competitively in 2016 and has had a fair amount of Grand Prix day 2s. He recently made his first top 8 at GP Atlanta and will now be attending his first Pro Tour in Spain (2018).

What Have You Learned From MagicHow to prepare for things Sam has really latched on to how crucial preparation is.
Advice for New PlayersLife is a resource.Keep that in mind. Don't dwell on the results. You can easily improve as a Magic player and not see it in the results.
Biggest Mistake Players MakeA lot of people just copy decks and don't really know why each card is in there.
Parting GuidanceDon't focus on your win/loss record. Every game is a learning experience.
