Friends make Magic fun for Ricky
Learning to play around cards. Thinking about what cards your opponent could have and how your deck interacts with that deck. Play games and take notes while you play.
Ricky always felt he was good at the game and by consistently playing his improved.
Losing a lot at PT Madrid 2016 was super rough. Ricky didn't make day 2. He made a mistake and lost a game. He learned to focus on this game right now. He thought too far ahead and lost because he wasn't focused.
Top 8 at his first Pro Tour. (Milwaukee 2015)

Ricky asks himself questions to refocus on the game.
