Andrew is super competitive and Magic is his competitive outlet. Magic is not set in stone, it is super fluid.
At a random PTQ in Minnesota, Andrew played against Mathias Hunt. His opponent was very pleasant and despite his loss Andrew was able to make friends with Mathias. They found they had a lot in common and Andrew was invited to join an elite test group.
Grand Prix Dallas 2015. Andrew lost a win-and-in to go to the Pro Tour. He learned that no one deserves to win. Magic is up for anyone.
Grand Prix Minneapolis 2016 Top 8. A friend conceded to get him in and Andrew loved doing so well alongside his teammate Max McVety.

Andrew learned how to self evaluate so he can recognize his own strengths and weaknesses.
Players are unwilling to acknowledge they lack the skill to play the best deck. Sometimes you need more practice.

Don't be afraid to change your deck last minute if you think it's right.
