Swords to Plowshares
Early Challenge
Transportation as a young player was tough. Balancing life and Magic was an early struggle and as Craig got better, he could do more Magic.
Magic Milestone
Winning the first tournament with his own deck. Also, going to his early Pro Tours and seeing the caliber of players from Magic hubs like New York, Los Angeles, and Boston.
Worst Magic Moment
Pro Tour Amsterdam, Paul Rietzl won with a white-based deck-very Craig Wescoe. Craig could have switched, but didn't.
Craig learned he regrets not playing white when he can.
Proudest Magic Moment
Winning Pro Tour Dragon's Maze.
