When did you start Magic? Which set? How did you discover the game?

I started in high school when Ice Age was just released. I stumbled over some cards at the playground between school lessons.
Previous Achievements
Pro Tour: 6th place at Pro Tour Ixalan and 29th at Pro Tour Dominaria.
Grand Prix: 4th place at both Barcelona 2014 (Team Limited) and Madrid 2017 (Team Limited). Top 8ed at paris 2015 (Standard) and Turin 2017 (Standard).
Who is the Magic player that you respect?

There is not the one player I respect, I try to respect every opponent sitting across from me at any event. When it comes to world-class players, Owen Turtenwald is the player I respect the most because his plays and deck-choices are just always on point.
If you have one, who is your favorite Japanese Player and why?

Probably Tomoharu Saito, he is the Japanese Pro Player I was watching to improve when I started playing my first Grand Prix.
Favorite MTG Decks and Card:
| Format | Deck | Card |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | None | 《Llanowar Elves》 |
| Modern | (At this moment) 《Hardened Scales》 Affinity | 《Ancient Stirrings》 |
| Legacy | Death & Taxes | 《Rishadan Port》 |
Favorite MTG Format:
Limited is the format I enjoy the most, especially Sealed.
What got you interested in joining the Hareruya Pros?

I like how Hareruya evolved as a company and what they do for professional magic, having Matej Zatlkaj as a manager is a huge plus and furthermore I’m in love with Japan and it is exciting to promote a Japanese brand.
Next goal as Magic player:
I would love to win a Grand Prix or a Pro Tour, even after all these years of playing I am still lacking a Trophy.
