The Vis story at nats 2021 was a major throw back. I remember finding Vis and getting top 8 UK nats with it was the moment for me. I wish I could of tapped into Matt at the time to get more combo at the time.
I feel like having conviction on what your deck wants to do, where it may deviate from others ideas or goals is key. Also understanding that these top players and decks can be improved upon. Take Aim in Azalea lists for instance. It always seemed odd to me that it was missing, but one sound bite from Brody and I followed. 6 months later he's on-board and questioning how it wasn't included before now. Tech space can be the issue, but allowing others to lead you can be the issue.
Interesting topic about stamping the cards for some events. This could be "easily" done for major events if lss is willing to special print decks with qr codes where you can track every card down to what card in what pack. I don't like the idea for most events but when there is 50k + events it is reasonable. In bonus points for collectors that want to own a fancy card used in the winners list on worlds for example
Interesting, Pablo is always saying that he's not a deck builder, he usually gets the lists from his team mates or net decks and then just tunes the deck (which is a skill in itself too, of course) but he says he's not a very good core deck builder :D
"Name One deck builder that is a bad player" Is a crazy proposition. People don't care about who built the deck but who performed with the deck. It's very possible that an innovative deck builder isn't respected in the community until their deck has results. It's very possible to have a very good deck, where all of the math is above rate, but the player themselves underperforms. Not gaining the respect and recognition of their peers because the results weren't there.

I didn't realise this was a health & fitness podcast
Glad you aren't going to die man
Yeah, my coworkers really can't handle how excited I get talking about the use of arbitrary resampling And Non-Parametric spectral analysis
Really great episode; thanks for reaching out to all the deckbuilders and passing along advice. Especially liked ethnic smoke's tip
Loved the episode, would love more insite form other good players

Okay but the intro sound clip 15min into the video jump scared me
