Fabrizio loves that Magic is so complicated and that you never get good enough before it changes.
Tuning a deck for the meta is not Fabrizio's strong suit but playing 10-20 games against a certain match up sheds light on how to tweak.
Fabrizio is really proud of his solid run in the 2015 season that gives him a chance to go to the Magic World Championship.
His run includes a Grand Prix win, a Pro Tour top 16 and a Grand Prix second place... all within three weekends.

Play a lessor known, under the radar deck.
When you're winning think "How could I possibly lose this game?" and hedge against it.
Think the flipside when you're losing.
Always consider your plays and be mindful of your outs and your opponent's outs.
Fabrizio waits for the whole set to be released before evaluating new cards.
Sealed: Lay out the cards so you can see them all. Separate them into "bomb", "playable" and "unplayable" piles. Then look for synergies within your pool.
Draft: A good memory is an advantage when drafting.
Make sure you consider mana curve, removal and creature count. This will lead to better picks for you even if the card isn't the most powerful in the pack.
Be willing to invest time and money if you are serious about Magic.
However, to start out, build a deck and play with friends and start playing so you can understand the basics.
