Magic: The GatheringReplay Review
Want feedback on your games but can’t schedule a live session? Send me a gameplay recording or MTGO replay, and I’ll review it on my own time—breaking down your lines, decisions, and sideboarding with detailed commentary. Everyone learns differently and choosing this option will give you more time to review the information you have been given on your own. I can provide either a recorded review or a written review whichever you prefer. In this session I will walk through your match, highlight what you did well, flag key turning points, and suggest adjustments to raise your win rate in future games. This replay review would be for one match about an hour in length.

Magic: The GatheringLive Coaching
Join me for a live 1:1 coaching session where we’ll walk through games on a platform of your choice. I’ll watch your gameplay, ask questions to challenge your decision-making, and give you real-time feedback on everything from sequencing to sideboarding. We’ll pause between games to reflect on tough spots, alternate lines, and strategic pivots. Whether you're prepping for an RCQ, looking to level up your fundamentals, or get on to the Pro Tour this session is about sharpening your play, building confidence, and learning to identify your mistakes. The first part of improving is recognizing your mistakes and having someone along the ride with you can help knock down the barrier to improvement.

Frequently asked questions
How did you get in to MTG?
I started playing Magic the Gathering at my local games store around M10. My parents brought me to the store to play Pokemon after moving as a way to socialize and I quickly wanted to spend all my time there. In 2013, when I went to high school, I moved away from the area and stopped playing card games all together. In 2018 I began going to MagicFests to play in 2-Headed Giant Side events with a friend until that ended with the Covid-19 pandemic. After the initial Pandemic surge I started playing at FNM at a local game store in 2021 where I quickly became addicted drafting around 4 times a week. After watching Pro Tour Philly when Reid Duke won with Creativity I was hooked and decided I wanted to play competitively. I qualified for the Regional Championship playing Wilds of Eldraine limited and then brought a Temur Rhinos deck to Denver to qualify for my first PT at my first major competitive event :) I have managed to stay on the train since.
Why is your coaching beneficial compared to others?
As a result of the way I started playing competitively I lacked a lot of the foundations other competitive players had at the time. Throughout the last year working with Team Sanctum of All I have spent a boat load of time learning how to verbalize my thoughts in a way that everyone can understand them. There are many concepts in MTG that are assumed to be known at the highest level that can be difficult to pick up and I have a unique experience that allows me to assist in growing those skills.
