Ryan Solave is from Sarnia, Ontario and has been playing Magic since Alara block. He plays a lot of online games, but sets aside most of his time for Magic. He had his first Grand Prix Top 8 in Indianapolis and is qualified for PT Kaladesh in Hawaii.

The Stack. Ryan was not good at it early on.
After Khans came out Ryan hit events hard. By consistently playing at a high level Ryan got experience.

Learning different formats has helped Ryan read his opponents better.
