I’ve always been a fan of LSV (Luis Scott-Vargas) I suppose.
If you have one, who is your favorite Japanese Player and why?

Probably Shouta Yasooka. I like his control brews.
Favorite MTG Decks and Card:
| Format | Deck | Card |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | UW Control | 《Teferi, Hero of Dominaria》 |
| Modern | UW Control | 《Jace, the Mind Sculptor》 |
| Legacy | UW Control | 《Swords to Plowshares》 |
Favorite MTG Format:
It fluctuates. Usually which ever format has the sweetest UW control deck. I’m actually liking the Modern UW deck a fair amount right now.
What got you interested in joining the Hareruya Pros?

My teammates from PT25 reached out to me about it.
Next goal as Magic player:
Winning PT25A exceeded my goals. I suppose I would like to top 8 an individual Pro Tour and win and Individual GP. More generally I would like to improve my event preparation.
Message for Readers:
I’m excited.
