Listen "#122 - Personal Data with Paul Cheon "
Episode Synopsis
This week I have an immense pleasure of hosting a real legend and, if Magic were a country, a national treasure, Paul Cheon.
We look through the data of Paul to try to figure out what was essential to Paul's incredible win rate in OTJ. But wait, there's more. Anecdotes, stories, general insights, some thoughts on the upcoming format and many more.
I had fun recording, but after that I realised - while having fun and making silly guess games, we actually managed to create some pretty in-depth episode that, despite looking at OTJ specific, is very useful for your draft strategy independent of the format. With some universal thoughts on how to become better at limited in the unique but successful way that Paul's approach offers.
If you don't know Paul and his content, it is high time you got acquainted.
