7. Show no emotion. Emotion is weakness. (This rule can be bent if you are playing against another pro, just to look like you have a personality when the metagame report hits the internet.)
Emotion, who needs that? Seriously, I have found that a death stare works much better.
actualy, the key is a lot of emotion. I found that If I jump on the table and start giving him/her a lap dance, they will willingly conceed. (It didn't work too well on Adam Prosak though, he kind of liked.....creepy)
...man, thanks Vsrealms. Supplying players with comedic stuff like this every day. I neede d a good laugh. :laugh:

I think that's the best definition of how most of the consistent money-winning players treat this game.
Quoted for extreme emphasis. There are some players in the Pro Circuit that will actually announce robotically every, single phase and step in their initiative just to make sure they check all of their cards for effects they could play/trigger during that step. It sounds pretty ridiculous, but it really helps make sure you don't overlook things.
Oh, and wtf? Seriously, on the eating remark. You WILL get a little lazier if you eat something crappy during the tournament. Don't do it. If anything, just down a Slim Fast or something. Or drink fluids throughout the tournament and just take a wizz-break after every round to flush yourself out.
Frighteningly, atleast half of the points listed are often legitimate.
Ultimately, I'm think it's possible to find the line between competetive and casual VS and, in true Johnny Cash style, walk it. I don't view being successful at either as mutually exclusive, although I don't anticipate much agreement on that front....
Hello everyone. Do you often find yourself wondering why the "pros" do so well at the 10ks and PC's? Do you wish you can be like them? Well, wish no longer, because I am about to spill the top 10 secrets that the pros don't want you to know. This is a compiled list of strategies that some good players seem to use, and that seem to work:
1. Start inventing bogus theories about not eating before a tournament. Then, when the big day arrives, beat the living snot out of the idiots who actually followed the theory. It should be easy to beat a bunch of half starving people, shouldn't it?
2. Post your "secret tech" for the next PC on the internet. Then watch in amusement as people copy the decklist and put the deck in their gauntlet. Laugh as you bring something completely different than the deck you posted, and proceed to destroy the competition. Chair deck? Well, technically my Professor X is sitting in a chair, so I was telling the truth!
There may be a podcast out there that's giving away real tech. Just sayin. You may want to check it out.
