However, after three days of intense competition, the Israeli national team member came away with the glittering trophy and the oversized check. In the first part of his entertaining winner’s report, he describes his preparation before leading us through five rounds of Doran-fueled Standard…
In a move destined to resonate with moviegoers, Rich Hagon brings us a sequel to his award-winning Worlds Pro Report Card Part 1, trickily entitled Worlds Pro Report Card Part 2.
