Ask him if he looks at himself in the mirror and says: "I am so awesome!"

Because he should...

Because he is...

What is his opinion on the "Pick any two blocks" format?  Forgot what it was called.   smiley

whats step one in building a deck?
do you find a card or a combo and put it in a deck that works or do you get a deck that works and put a card/combo in it?
or something like that.

What made you (Pat), Nassif, and Heezy decide to play Dragonstorm at Worlds? Did you guys expect to have two Top 8s?

how does he come up with combos and deck ideas?

-does he think about an objective or win condition that would work well and then find cards to suit that?
-does he just see and card and notice synergy with another card?

just how does he go about making decks when using them for competetive play.

I'm about to do the interview with Pat, so I'm locking this thread.
